TO THE CITIZENS OF NORWELL
Followng is a report showing the necessity for over-run- ning the appropriation this year; also an outline of the pres- ent conditions, and a few suggestions for improvements for the coming year.
The town raised $500 to oil River Street. The condition of the road was such that it was necessary to gravel it be- fore applying the oil, thereby incurring extra expense.
The condition of Washington street was such that I ex- pended $207.50. This sum was taken from the general appropriation. The road is now in a good condition. It will be oiled in the spring by the state, I understand.
Two bridges which had to be relaid caused an expense of $30, and a washout called for an expenditure of $37.50.
These were repairs which could not be neglected and I feel that there are some which will demand careful attention the coming year.
Some of the railings in town are in a dilapitated and dan. . gerous condition and I would recommend an appropriation of $200, for the purpose.
Some of our side walks must be repaired and I believe that a sum of $300 should be assigned to this use.
Summer street is in the poorest condition of any in town. Something should be done here and I would recommend that $300 be appropriated for this.
The bridge opposite Melvin Little's store will have to be relaid and I recommend an appropriation of $200 for this work.
I would also say that I think $1000 should be appropri- ated for general repairs.
We expended $540 for oil. This method of treating the roads has proved very satisfactory, and I would suggest that
46
the balance of the money which the town may see fit to raise for roads be expended for tarvia and sand.
In conclusion I would say that I think it would be well to do away with the road machine to a certain extent. I be- lieve that the money spent for that purpose can be used to a better advanage by ploughing gutters and gravelling roads. Respectfully submitted,
L. F. HAMMOND,
Surveyor.
