REPORT OF HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT
Board of Selectmen,
Westford, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The following is my report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1944
Chapter 81 and General Maintenance:
The usual highway maintenance was carried out this year, which included the use of gravel, tar, pea stone, and patch on our various roads and those that come under our Chapter 81 contract.
Chapter 90 Maintenance:
The usual maintenance of Chapter 90 Highways was carried out again this year under the provisions of the contract. All of our Chap- ter 90 roads are in good condition. We continued to use a new surface treatment that was recommended to us by the State last year on our Chapter 90 roads. This treatment consists of an application of tar and pea gravel which is mixed and leveled by a power grader, pea stone is applied as a binder and a thorough rolling completes the construction.
Respectfully submitted,
J. AUSTIN HEALY,
Highway Superintendent.
