REPORT OF SELECTMEN
Citizens of Westford:
For the work accomplished on the highways we refer you to detailed report of the Highway Superintendent.
The trucking work for the W. P. A. and highways was appor- tioned among the owners of trucks in Westford who requested work.
This year as last, our allotment for Chapter 90 maintenance was cut by the State Department of Public Works and because of the Town's vote covering our appropriation the County and Town allot- ment was reduced in like amount each.
.
Late in the summer we requested and were granted an allotment from the County for the specific repairs of a section of Carlisle Road near the Carlisle Station which was settling badly and becoming dangerous.
Work is continuing on improvement to "Farm to Market Roads" under an allotment of Federal money, the work being done under the direction of the State Engineering Department.
We have been advised by the State Department of Public Works of a change in the policy regarding the highway equipment owned by towns. Hereafter repairs and upkeep of equipment cannot be charged to Chapters 90 and 81 allotment. It will be necessary for the Town to set up a special appropriation for this purpose. On the other hand the Town will receive credit for town equipment whenever it is in use. This appears to be a very fair arrangement and should work to the advantage of the Town.
