REPORT OF SELECTMEN


Citizens of Westford:


For details of the work done on the highways we refer you to the report of the Superintendent.


We have cooperated with the Welfare Board to give work to as many of the unemployed as possible.


We also endeavored to give trucking to those in town who owned dump trucks.


A further section of Tyngsborough Road was reconstructed which completed the work as far as the Groton Road.


The local chairman of the Civil Works Administration secured a Federal allotment to continue work on this road northerly from the Groton Road. It is hoped that another allotment will be obtained to continue this project.


We are asking for a town appropriation of $1000.00 to be used with a like amount from the State and County each. We believe that this appropriation, with an additional allotment from the Fed- eral Government will about complete the work to the Tyngsboro town line.


Another stretch on the Groton Road was completed, extending nearly to Mill Stone Road, leaving about three fourths of a mile un- finished to the Groton line.


We therefore applied to the State and County for a further allot- ment, which was granted, but owing to the lateness in the season the section was not entirely finished.


As soon as the weather permits this work will be completed.


This closes our second year of operation under Chapter 81, and we are asking the Town to continue under this plan, which means that the Town must appropriate $10,625.00 to receive the $8,500.00 from the State and the work will be done under the supervision of a State Engineer.


Chapter 90 Roads or "State and County aided Roads" were taken care of as in previous years.


The relations with the Officials and Engineers of the State and County have been most pleasant, their cooperation and advice helpful


30


in our road problems and their allotments of money to the Town very generous.


We would call your attention to the report of Officer Sullivan of the Police Department.


We have been advised that traffic signals and safety lights, also the painting of traffic lines on the highways are safety projects and as such must be paid for from the Police Department appropriation and not from the Highway appropriation.


At the last annual Town Meeting the voters appropriated $6,000.00 for Street Lighting, this being a reduction of $3,000.00 or about 38% from the previous year.


An appropriation of $6,000.00 for a full year provides for a total of 333 lights or in other words, it made necessary a discontinuance of 201 lights.


We arranged with the Lowell Electric Light Company for this plan but in as much as two months had already elapsed when the cut was voted we arranged to have all lights discontinued for four or five weeks during the summer to enable us to live within the appropria- tion.


In removing the 201 lights made necessary by the cut in the ap- propriation, we endeavored to follow the suggestion of the Finance Committee, "to make some arrangement whereby the number of lights covering the entire town be reduced in a manner where all will be treated in an equal and just way."


Respectfully submitted,


WILLIAM R. TAYLOR, ARTHUR M. WHITLEY, W. OTIS DAY,


Selectmen of Westford.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAYS


I herewith submit my report for year ending Dec. 31, 1933.


During the past year more work was accomplished on the high- ways of our Town, than has been done before in any one year. This of course, was due largely to unemployed labor, and the low price of truck hire.


Following is a list of work done:


West St., from Cowdrey Hill Road to Groton line. Graveled, rolled, and two applications of oil. Also part done last year was treated with application of oil.


Hildreth St., completed from Concord Road toward Westford, graveled, rolled, and oiled, new work about three quarters of a mile. Also oiling and Hone-drawing the entire street.


Tenny Road, from Keyes Road to Dunstable Road-graveled and rolled, part of it had one application of oil.


Dunstable Road, Ward's Corner to Tyngsborough line, was graveled, rolled and oiled a distance of about a half mile, also part done last year was oiled, making road all complete from Tyngsboro Road to Tyngsboro line.


Chamberlain Road going toward Chelmsford, for about a quarter of a mile. Was widened and graveled. This road is to be completed this coming year.


Mill Stone Road has been graveled from Groton Road to Groton line.


Tadmuck Road near Main St. was graveled for about a quarter of a mile. As this road has had gravel on several different places it should be completed this year.


Forest Road, from Groton Road to Oak Hill Road, a distance of about a mile. Was graveled, rolled, and two applications of oil ap- plied, making this road complete.


Providence Road, from Main St. toward Chelmsford, was graveled and widened for about a quarter of a mile. This road is to be com- pleted this year.


Various roads and streets were scarified, reshaped and rolled, as occasion demanded. This Town has a new Honing scraper, and by dragging on new oiled or tarred roads, it takes off the humps and fills in the hollows, making a smooth riding surface and helps to keep road in shape.


Several new Culverts were installed, either of corrugated iron, asphalt, or hard clay pipes.


The culverts were constructed of sufficient length, to avoid use of guard rail in most cases.


32


The usual scraping and patching, was carried on throughout the year.


Roads that will be completed this year:


Plain Road, from Nabnasset School, to Regniers, other half is done.


South Chelmsford, to Chelmsford line.


Griffin Road, to Griffin Farm, other half is done.


Tenny Road, from Wards Cor. to Tyngsboro line.


Under Chapter 90:


Makepeace Road, a little over a half mile was built of gravel, twenty-four ft. wide with shoulders, also rolled and tarred. Ample drainage was provided, new thirty-inch culvert built. Cable guard rail was erected at dangerous point near culvert.


The reconstruction of Tyngsboro Road was continued for about one half mile, twenty-four feet wide, ending at Groton Road. This piece was rolled and tarred.


The Groton Road to Groton line was continued, practically all graveling was completed, but three hundred feet on Groton end, and this will be done before spring. To date four culverts have been installed, three being of corrugated metal, the other forty feet long and five feet square, and made of reinforced concrete, with suitable head walls.


A balance remains unexpended on this contract, which has been reserved for grading, rolling, oiling, and such graveling as may be necessary to complete this section of the road. This work will be done just as soon as conditions warrant.


The following is the amount of gravel and sand used on all roads during the year 1933:


Gravel-10,967 loads.


Sand-4,598 loads.


Respectfully submitted,


J. AUSTIN HEALY,


Superintendent of Streets.
