In the matter of the petition of the inhabitants of Wayland for alter- ations of the Sudbury road from near the house of Marshall C. Baldwin to the new bridge over Sudbury river on which petition decree was made September 22, 1900, it appears that the provisions of said decree have not been fulfilled by the town of Wayland and the time fixed for the completion thereof, it becomes the duty of said Commissioners to cause said alterations to be completed. And now before the said provisions of said decree are carried into effect the Commissioners do order a change in the requirements of construction on said road by striking out all that portion of said decree relating to the form of construction and substituting therefor the following to wit: The old bridge over the old river bed shall be rebuilt in its present form of four arches resting on piers and abutements, but the masonry shall be laid in cement mortar. A suitable coping and guard rail shall be erected on each side of the bridge, the roadway to be restored after the masonry is rebuilt and such grading done on the roadway approaches as will make them conform to the new structure. The surface of the road (bed) way to consist of gravel, thoroughly compacted so as to present a hard smooth surface free from all inequalities. And the said Commissioners order the alterations completed forthwith and the other provisions of the decree of September 22, 1900, are to remain unaltered. In witness whereof we the said Commissioners have hereunto set our hands this sixth day of August 19:1.

bridge shall be repaired by replacing all unsound timber or piles with new material, the railings shall be rebuilt and the structure put in first class repair. The abutments supporting the bridge shall be relaid so far as needful to give an even bearing for the timbers at the ends of the bridge, and the remaining walls for a distance of twenty-five (25) feet from each end of the bridge shall be rebuilt with good field stone, high enough to support the roadway which shall be graded to a width of 16 feet, equal to the width of present roadway on the bridge.
