REPORT OF SELECTMEN
Citizens of Westford:
We refer you to the Highway Superintendent's report for details of the work accomplished on the highways.
The trucking for the highway and E. R. A. work was divided among the seventeen truck owners in Westford who applied.
The Tyngsboro Road was completed to the Tyngsboro town line. In completing the work it was necessary to obtain an additional al- lotment from the State and County, and we are appreciative of their favorable consideration of our request.
The State did not grant us the usual allotment for Chapter 90 maintenance. in fact we received a 33% cut, and this of course car- ried the same reduction in the County and our own appropriation.
We received an allotment under the new State Bond issue and with approval of the State Public Works Department started the recon- struction of Pine Street. The work will be finished in the spring.
The street has been widened and a drainage system installed and when completed a long needed improvement will have been accom- plished.
A notice has been received of an allotment of Federal money to be used for improvement of "Farm to Market Roads."
The money will be spent under the direction of the State Engineer- ing Department.
For the coming year we are asking for the usual allotments under Chapter 90 and Chapter 81.
The Accounts of the Town were audited by the State Division of Accounts. Owing to the length of the report submitted we are not printing it in full but present herewith a summary of the work which is a copy of the Balance Sheet submitted.
Any citizen desiring to read the report may do so as a copy will be on file at the Selectmen's Office.
We call your attention to the report of the Police Department.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM R. TAYLOR, ARTHUR M. WHITLEY, W. OTIS DAY,
Selectmen of Westford.

REPORT OF HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The following is the annual report of the Highway Department for the year ending December 31, 1935.
Chapter 81, and General Highway Maintenance
During the year the usual maintenance was carried out in such a manner as to serve every portion of the Town.
My attention was especially directed toward a further extension of our gravel and oil road system, which has been increasing each year until now a comparatively few miles of dirt road remain. The sooner all the dirt roads in the Town are graveled and oiled, the better it will be because this reduces Maintenance to a minimum, and gives an excellent riding surface, and are much safer in gen- eral, because it permits a speedy removal of snow during the winter months.
Among the additions to our list of gravelled and oiled roads during 1935 are:
Leland Road-from Whitneys Hill to Main Street.
Providence Road-from Main St., to State Road at Nixons.
Chamberlain Road-Chamberlain Corner to Chelmsford Line. Howard Road-from Littleton Line to Concord Road.
Gould Road-from Gould Hill to Tyngsboro Line.
Plain 'Road-from Reginers to Nabnassett School.
Nutting Road-from Plain Road to Nuttings Cemetery.
Several new Culverts and Catch Basins were installed; corregated iron coated pipe was used.
All the dirt roads with few exceptions were scraped and others were improved.
Roads which had been broken up in various places, after the winter months, were re-shaped and then given a coat of tar.
Special Appropriations-Pine Street.
The specifications call for drainage and a 24 ft. gravel road. A trench was dug along the northerly side of the highway, and twelve inch pipe plain concrete, open joint pipe line, constructed to care for excessive water which has been so prevalent along this stretch of road. Ten catch basins were necessarily constructed.
Work was commenced in November and on December 28, practi- cally all the graveling was completed, except about two hundred feet at one end where excavation is necessary, and this will be done in the spring.
28
Chapter 90, Maintenance
This appropration which provides for the maintenance of all chap- ter 90 highways in the Town, again proved itself a great value in keeping these routes in excellent shape.
Among the items covered by this allotment are patching, resur- facing, dragging shoulders, maintenance of guard rails. Drainage systems and culverts are taken care of.

The following is the amount of gravel and sand used on all roads during 1935.
Gravel-15,226 Cubic yards or 7,613 loads.
