HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
Highway Commission Report.
To William A. Bixby, Stephen W. Clow, and Horace Rust, Selectmen of Wolfeboro,: N. H.
I herewith submit the following report as Highway Com- missioner of the Town of Wolfeboro, 1915.
Upon examination of the crusher plant, I found extensive repairs necessary, I put the same in first class working con- dition and it did its work throughout the summer very satis- factorily. The repairs cost $300.00. The plant is in very good condition and with the purchase of a new rolling screen, is all right for future work, this plant crushed approximately 500,000 tons of stone during the season.

WOLFEBORO TOWN REPORT
The road from South Wolfeboro to Lake street has been treated with binder, a Standard Oil and covered with sand. .
From Lake street I have constructed 4,485 feet of bitu- minous macadam, with Standard Oil binder, and part with tarvia, at a cost of one dollar and nineteen and four-tenths cents. The bituminous road ends at the Neck road, from this I built 800 feet of new macadam road, water bound, to meet the State road opposits Ivan Piper's dwelling. This piece of road was treated with binder, a Standard Oil covered with sand. Shield's Hill I spiked up and covered with a heavy coat of water bound macadam and extended the same one hundred and fifty feet.
Neck Road.
Owing to the liberal offer of Mr. Frank Hopewell, Mr. George A. Carpetner, and Mr. W. P. Underhill, the Selectmen decided to raise the grade at the foot of the Neck hill, nine feet. I put în twenty-five hundred cubic yards of fill, which brings this hill to a satisfactory grade. I also straightened the turn at the foot of the hill at an expense of about one hundred and sixty-seven dollars ($167). The entire expense of grading the hill was $2,000.00. The Town contributed $500.00, these gentlemen paying the balance, or $1,500.00. I also built for Mr. Hopewell 500 lineal feet of new road across the swamps at a cost of $700.00. This entire amount being paid by Mr. Hopewell.
Pond Road.
I graded 3,000 lineal feet of hard pan road, using 2,500 cubic yards of material. This improvement cost $1,467.75. Two citizens, lovers of good roads, contributed $900.00 toward this, costing the town $567.75. In the spring of the year this has been one of the muddiest pieces in town.
General Repairs.
As soon as the conditions would allow, I began repair- ing the highways with the aid of the road machines. I went over the greater part of the town, and at the first of July these roads were in good passing condition, but owing to the unusually heavy rains which continued for a long time, I had
23
WOLFEBORO TOWN REPORT
to go over the greater part again and with the heavy wash- outs, the cost was increased greatly. At a conservative esti- mate these rains cost at least $1,500 extra. I put in thirteen new metal culverts, including two four-foot metal culverts on Mill street with concrete headers. I also relaid fifteen in other places throughout the town. There was used 6,000 gallons of No. 4 oil for a dirt layer, covering all the prnicipal streets in the village, except the State roads. I also recovered with crushed stone, 300 feet on Glendon street, 500 feet on Center street, for expenses see the Selectmen's reports.
Coming to Wolfeboro an entire stranger I wish to thank the people for their courtesy and assistance shown me.
