ing it to its proper grade. From Appleton street to Park avenue the entire street has been rebuilt, the cut in places being three feet in 'bringing it to a sub-grade and then one foot of crushed stone was put on the centre of the street and six inches on the side making an average of nine inches of crushed stone. The stone was well rolled and a light coat of screened blue gravel spread upon the stone and then rolled again thus making a solid macadamized road. The sidewalks have been graded to conform to the street, and the walk on the northeast side has been coated over with stone dust making a good walk. A fifteen-inch drain pipe with suitable catch basins has been laid on the west side from the north side of Appleton street to Forest street, across the avenue down Forest street to the brook. This takes the surface water from Acton and Appleton streets and drains a large portion of the avenue. Work was commenced on the avenue from Park avenue to Lexington line but has not been finished. This will have to be completed next year and there are a few more fences to be set back to complete the street from the Public Library to the Lexington line. The avenue from the Centre to the Cambridge line has been patched in many places ; it is getting rough and a large por- tion should be coated over with crushed stone the coming season. There has been expended on the avenue about $8000.
Appleton Street
Between Park avenue and Claremont avenue has been put in good repair by lowering the sides and gravelling the centre. Concrete gutters have been laid on both sides from Arlington avenue to Oakland avenue.
Academy Street
From near J. H. Hardy's residence to Jason street has been graded and gravelled with screened blue gravel. The drain through the land of Messrs. Doe, Norton and others has been connected with the drain that was built through

Wm. T. Foster's land and three catch basins put in to take the water from Ravine street and this portion of Academy street, thus abating a great nuisance.
Broadway.
There has been very little done on this street except to patch it and to keep it in a passable condition. The drainage on this street is very bad and the street should be graded so as to take the surface water away, as it now stands in many places until it dries away or soaks into the ground.
Coral Street
Has been coated over with gravel and the grade changed so as to properly drain it.
Forest Street
From the railroad crossing to the Winchester line has been put in good repair by cleaning the gutters and gravel- ling the road-bed.
Hillside Avenue
Has been gravelled in places and the gutters cleaned. The portion between Appleton street and Wollaston avenue should be gravelled this coming season.
Jason Street
From the residence of W. P. Nightingale to Gray street has been put in good condition by filling the low place near Mr. Nightingale's with broken rock teamed from the High School cellar and then covering with gravel. The gravel was obtained by making a cut of one foot near the residence of E. L. Churchill thus improving the grade. The line of the street was changed on the east side, by H. H. Homer giving the land, making a much better line and improving the looks of the street.
Lake Street
From Lowell railroad to Cross street has been put in good condition by picking the surface and removing all coarse

stone and then covering with a coat of fine crushed stone to the depth of four inches. This was well rolled and then a light coat of screened blue gravel put on and then rolled until the surface became solid. Thirty-one hundred dollars was expended on this street.
Medford Street.
There has been expended on this street nearly three thou- sand dollars. It has been widened according to the order of the County Commissioners from near Henry Lawrence's to the bridge. The entire length of the road-bed has been picked up, the coarse stone removed and a coat of fine crushed stone spread upon the surface. This well rolled and then covered with a light coat of screened blue gravel was rolled until the road became solid. The stone used on this street and on Lake street was purchased from the Mass. Broken Stone Co. The picking and the rolling of these streets was done with a steam-roller hired from Messrs. McClintock & Woodfall. The square near W. W. Raw- son's, and the one opposite Chas. Gott's have been inclosed with edge-stone. The stone was paid for by the near residents and the town teamed and set it.
Park Avenue
From Lowell street to Arlington avenue has been gravelled and the loose stone on the other parts removed. The gutters have been cleaned the entire length of the street.
Park Street.
The grade of this street has been changed by cutting eighteen inches near Coral street, and by filling the low place in front of W. W. Rawson's block, making a true grade to the river. A coat of crushed stone was put upon the street and then covered with a coat of screened gravel. River Street.
Owing to Medford street bridge being closed the portion of this street between C. G. Learned's and the bridge was
19
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
badly rutted and it became necessary to coat it over with stone and gravel. The stone used on this and Park street was the surplus stone teamed from the avenue excavated in extending the electric railroad to Arlington Heights.
Teel Street.
The grade has been changed from Cottage street so as to bring the water from this street to the avenue. That portion of the street from Cottage street to the avenue has been coated over with stone and gravel.
Wollaston Avenue.
The gutters have been cleaned and the road-bed gravelled.
Water Street.
This street has been in a very bad condition for several years. In consequence of its flatness the drainage has been very poor. Late in the season work was begun and the portion between the avenue and the railroad crossing was graded so as to better drain the street and a coat of crushed stone put on and gravelled, but the cold weather interfered before it was finished. Early the coming season a coat of fine stone will have to be spread upon the street and it should be well rolled and coated over with screened blue gravel.
There are twenty-eight and one-half miles of streets and some of the streets are quite wide and have a good deal of travel, especially the avenue, and it is quite expensive to keep them in good repair.
Sidewalks
There have been 2295 yards of concrete laid this season. The contract price was sixty-five cents per yard, the abutters paying one-half. A number of walks have been coated over with gravel and stone dust. In many places the sidewalks are in a very bad condition and more attention should be paid to them in the future ; they should be made to conform to the grade of the street and either bricked or concreted. I should recommend that the town purchase a suitable outfit for concreting and the town do its own concreting, thus

retaining the money within its own limits which is now paid to out-of-town parties. There have been 2501 feet of edge stone laid ; the abutters furnished the stone.
Watering Streets.
Departing from the usual custom of contracting the water- ing of a portion of the streets, it has been done with the town teams this year. This was found to be a more satisfac- tory way than contracting, as we have the use of the teams for other purposes when not needed for watering. Three double teams and one single have been used at an expense of $2300; there was raised by subscription $600 leaving a balance of $1700 which was taken from the Highway appropriation. I would recommend that a separate appro- priation be made for watering the streets, as $1700 is a large amount to be taken from the Highway appropriation. Teams and Tools.
Five horses have been purchased this last year, one for the offal wagon and one to replace a horse that died, making an addition of three to the horses usually kept. There are now in all fourteen horses in the highway and health department. Two horses are kept in each of the hose- houses, Wm. Penn and Highland, for fire duty and have been used on the highways. A double watering cart has been bought this last year and there should be another new one bought the coming season. A double road cart has been ordered and will be ready for use the first of April. The other carts and tools are in good condition. The re- moval of offal and ashes has been under the supervision of the Highway department. During six months two men and one horse are required for their removal, and during the other six an additional team is needed part of the time.
Respectfully submitted.
