HIGHWAY SURVEYOR
1961 REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR
To the Citizens of Norwell :
I submit my annual report for the year of 1961 concerning the activities of the Highway Department.
The winter of 1961, January through March, was probably one of the worst we have experienced in a long time. We were very fortu- nate, however, in having two Town-owned trucks that proved the advisability of using 24,000 pound trucks for highway work and snow removal. They both have plows and one is equipped with a V-body sander. This year we have fitted the other truck with a hy- draulic tailgate sander which can be used for ice control in the winter or tarring in the summer.
I am asking for a four-wheel drive, heavy duty type loader of the one yard class. In time I hope we will be able to equip it with a backhoe and sweeper.
We started our maintenance work by cleaning catch basins, gutters and waterways and cleaning sand off corners and roadways. This work is done under Chapter 81, and a breakdown follows this re- port. We are thankful to have the excellent cooperation of the De- partment of Public Works for all the invaluable engineering help which is given to this Town by the District Office at Middleboro.
The Chapter 90 project was carried out on Main Street from Dover Street to the State Police Barracks on West Street at the junction of Main and West Street. This was one of the biggest problems of this department and the merchants of Norwell Center. We had to dig the old roadway up completely, lowering the grade to take the steepness off "No Pork Hill." Therefore, during the working day we were forced to close the road to traffic, yet at the same time try to let everyone get to the Post Office and the business district at the Center.
We have made a sidewalk of granite curb in front of the Cushing Memorial Town Hall and also from the First Parish Cemetery to the Post Office. I am submitting a special article this year for approval to hot mix these walkways to keep the maintenance cost at a minimum.
Two traffic islands were also installed this year - one at River and Main Streets and the other at Central and Main Streets. The islands were necessary to channel the traffic for safety reasons. "Keep Right" and "Stop" signs were installed on these islands along with street lights.

These traffic islands have been made ready for planting by being loamed, and we wish to take this opportunity to thank the Norwell Garden Club who so readily agreed to keep the two areas well groomed in order to enhance the beauty of Norwell Center.
The bituminous concrete top of 2,300 tons was laid from Dover Street to the State Police Barracks. This area now has white lines and the finish grading and seeding will be done in the spring of 1962. This will complete the section of Main Street from the Scituate line to the Center. In 1962 we are going to start at the Hanover line and work back to the Center.
The year 1961 was one of the busiest in highway work. Main Street was torn up for Chapter 90 work, Pond Street was rebuilt by the State and Federal Governments without cost to the Town to be used for Route 128, as was part of High Street for the Expressway. In 1962 this work will be carried on to Pleasant, Pine and River Streets and Stetson Road. The Water Department had Central Street torn up for installation of water mains. Union Bridge on Bridge Street was closed to traffic in early April and will not be opened until late summer.
Drainage work was done at Green Street where we replaced an old stone culvert with a new steel multiplate arch pipe, 72" x 44", which is working very well. Green Street is the location of past beaver activities which resulted in flooding in the area. I am happy to report that we have won out over the beavers in the Wildcat section by lowering the water table. The beavers then, of course, had to look for a new home. They migrated downstream, crossed over Pleasant Street and are now located near the Water Department Pumping Station and Office on Pleasant Street. Maybe their next move will be to take up residence in Hanover. This will not completely solve our problem, but it would be a step in the right direction for the Town of Norwell.
Some other drainage work was the replacement of a stone culvert on Mt. Blue Street with a 24" reinforced concrete pipe with a drain- age program to follow, along with a new 15" line from Tiffany Road to the Hanover Brook and the installation of two catchbasins and a system to follow. All of the drainage work has been in conjunction with the Drainage Committee and our highway funds on a special project.
We started a mix and place program which I hope you will vote to continue this year. In 1961 we resurfaced Jacobs Trail and Doris Avenue with the money we had in that account.

In 1962 we would like to resurface Prouty Avenue and Duncan Drive in Jacob's Lake Shores and River Street from the Barstow residence to the Wyllie residence. I am also asking for $500 to re- move the ledge at the corner of Wilder Road and Grove Street.
We finished the section of Old Meeting House Lane when we de- stumped the easterly section and made a twenty foot roadway with gravel, tar and seal on this portion of the road. This made Green Street, in the Wildcat section, the only dirt road in Norwell. We are asking for an appropriation to tar 1,200 feet of this road because of the heavy truck traffic in this area which is wearing out the gravel surface and will cost double the money to resurface it a year from now. There, also, have been many complaints from the residents in this area about the dust caused by the operation of the trucks.
The drainage in Washington Park has not been completed be- cause of the extension of the Southeast Expressway. This section has just been accepted, and I am sure it will be at the top of the list for 1962. The Expressway did help in lowering the water table to some extent, but there is still quite a bit of territory between there and the outlet at Hanover.
