REPORT OF SELECTMEN
Citizens of Westford:
The highways have been greatly improved during the past year by the application of quantities of gravel, the cutting of brush, and the building of new fences.
A great deal of oil has been used, and we wish that the appropri- ation would permit the use of more.
The gravel and oil roads need constant care by patrolling and re- pairing of any breaks in the surface. This type of road, however, is & good road and does eliminate mud.
The Superintendent and men were hired at a less rate than for the previous year, and trucks were secured at $1.25 per hour. For de- tail of the highway work would call your attention to the Superintend- ent's report.
The following work was done with the State, County and Town each contributing one-third of the expense: The balance of the Carlisle Road was rebuilt, which finishes the road to the Carlisle line.
It was quite costly rebuilding the low stretch of road around Butter Brook approaching Carlisle Station, as a great amount of fill had to be used and drainage installed to take care of a large amount of water. There is now a fine stretch of road from Minot's Corner to the Carlisle dine.
Concord Road was rebuilt from the Littleton Road to a point near the residence of Mr. George Heathcote.
We are asking for $3,000.00 more to complete the work, while the Finance Committee have recommended $2,000.00.
If the State requires the blasting of the ledge and the renewing of a large culvert and the filling of a long hollow near the Nesmith house, we feel that the amount recommended by the Finance Commit- tee will not quite complete the work to the Carlisle Road, which we had hoped to accomplish this year.
We felt that there was need of a good main road reaching into the northern part of the Town, and we therefore asked the State and County to help us on the rebuilding of Tyngsborough Road, and each allotted $2,000.00 for year 1931, and we apportioned $2,000.00 from our highway money.
The work was begun at Westford Station and about 4,000 feet was rebuilt. For more than half the distance the road had to be widened by the moving of a high bank, for which purpose a steam shovel was hired.
We are asking for an appropriation of $3,000.00 for the continu- ance of the work.
24
As is the usual custom, the repairs on the "State and County Aid- ed Roads" have been done under the direction of the State Depart- ment.
The very dangerous condition that existed at the blind curve near the Graniteville Station has been eliminated. Under the direction of the State Engineers the high bank and bank wall have been cut down so that the visibility is now good and therefore removes the threat of accidents at this point.
We have found the State and County Officials and Engineers glad- ly willing to advise and cooperate with us on our road problems, which has been very beneficial to the Town.
During the summer three snow-plows for tractor use, 3,000 feet of snow fence, and a cab for winter use on the Fordson Grader, were de- stroyed by fire when the Healy sheds burned.
The snow-plows were fully covered by insurance, and $1,500.00 has been paid the Town by the Insurance Company.
A conference was held with the Claim Agent of the Boston & Maine Railroad regarding a settlement for the loss of the snow fence and cab. We have been notified by the Boston & Maine R. R. that our claim of $200.00 will be paid, and we consider this a very fair settle- ment.
All fire insurance policies on buildings and contents have been re- newed when expiring.
Parkerville School House has not been used for several years, and we have therefore inserted an article in the Warrant to see if the Town wishes to continue the insurance on same.
Elsewhere in the report is printed the amount of insurance carried on the Public Buildings and contents.
The town lines of Groton, Littleton, Acton, Carlisle, Tyngsboro and Chelmsford have been perambulated and the stone bounds marked.
We would direct your attention to the reports of the Superintend- ent of Highways and Police Department.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM R. TAYLOR, MARK A. PALMER, ARTHUR M. WHITLEY,
Selectmen.

A bad corner was cut down at Graniteville Depot, cutting down height of wall and grading tlie slope back so as to be able to see around corner at all angles.
Carlisle Road was finished this year, making road complete from Minot's Corner to the Carlisle line.
Another addition to the Concord Road was done this year, starting at Littleton State Road and ending in front of the residence of Henry E. Gamage. Expect to complete this road this year, ending at Parker- ville School House.
A new piece of road was started at Westford Depot and ending about three-quarters of a mile North toward Tyngsboro.
Most of the roads have been smoothed several times and gravel has been put in low places and mud holes filled. Several new catch basins have been built and old ones repaired. Many side roads have been widened and have been oiled. In a short time all Town Roads will be hard surfaced oil roads.
Following is a list of loads of sand and gravel taken out this year from the following banks:
