Some of the streets, much used by automobiles, have been resur-
<br />faced by using tarvia, from which we think good results were
<br />obtained. While this method is not claimed to be dustless, it
<br />eliminates it to a large extent.
<br />By a vote of the town five new streets have been accepted as
<br />public ways the past year. This requires that a street be properly
<br />laid out, graded, and a plan submitted, and after acceptance, deeded
<br />to the town.
<br />The lighted area has been extended the past year by installing
<br />one light in North Hancock street, five on Adams street, three on
<br />East street, three on Pleasant street, one on Audubon road, and one
<br />on Shirley street, making the total now in service 437 40 c. p. lights
<br />and 27 60s.
<br />The entire night every night schedule has been considered, but as
<br />it would increase the lighting expense rising $2200.00 we think it
<br />advisable for the present to make extensions each year under the
<br />present schedule, especially on public streets which are much
<br />travelled, rather than make a change.
<br />Poucs
<br />The department is in good condition, and considering the amount
<br />of territory which is covered by the patrolmen, the chief and the
<br />officers are to be commended for their faithfulness and good work
<br />performed the past year.
