REVIEW OF WORK
DONE ON STREETS
FOR PAST YEAR

Perhaps there is no department Of
tho city where tho amount Of work
done in any year is SO little under
stood and appreciated as in the depart
ment Of streets and highways. There
are two reasons for this; the first is
that tho work is scattered. little be-
ing done here and little there; the
second, that almost everybody has
their eye on some particular piece Of
roadway, street or sidewalk which
they would especially like to see I'm
proved and unless this is done the
work that has been accomplished does
not appeal to them with the force it
should.
A resume Of the work accomplished
by the street department during the
past year is Of decided interest, and of
the work undertaken over 20 per cent
has been completed. During the year
eleven miles Of streets and highways
have been turnpiked and ditched.
Over 1000 square yards of paving
blocks were relaid on lower Water
street and nearly 5000 square feet Of
bituminous macadam road was con-
structed near the Maine Central freight
station. Two thousand tons OF crushed
rock and gravel have been used on
Vine, Church, Brunswick, School.

walks were built in wood. tar. concrete
cement, stone and cinders. containing
$4,000 square feet Of surface. and witt
this 1900 lineai feet Of safety railing.
Over 100000 feet Of lumber were pur'
chased during the year. Of which there
remained at the commencement o1
1915, about $1,000 It. Fifteen hundred
square feet Of cobble stone water
course laid in cement was built. many
Of the residents paying one-haf the
cost on such portions as were along
their frontage. Many drains Of iron
with cement attachments have been
laid.
From tho regular highway appro-
priation $2500 has been expended Tor
equipment which includes crusher, ele-
vator, bins. electric motor, gasoline
engine. lumber reach, aud small tip
cart, SO that the city now has splen-
did equipment.
In the year past the use Of oil for
the roads was commenced. heavy 46
per cent. oil being used with view Of
surface preservation as well as dust
partment in the purchase OF a high
grade oil cart and power pump. Two
carloads Of oil were bought, 6519 gals
Ions, at a cost Of $4,000. OF this oil
there remains on hand for use this sea-
son 1900 gallons.
The relaying Of the pavement on
Water street cost $1.885.56, which
amount, lacking s3.06 was supplied by
the N. E. Telephone Co., Central Maine
Power Co.. and the Gardiner Water
District
The two new granolithic walks, in
cluding resetting and new curb, coet
81, 1,116.90. The east walk was paid for
by the regular funds of the depart
ment and the west walk from the sur
plus.
Tar and concrete walks laid amount
ed to nearly 5000 and all walks for the
year cost over $4500.
The state Aid road cost under $500
and lumber bought during the year
over $4,000. Hay and grain cost $1,000
and $4,000 was paid out for labor, not
including the street commissioner s
salary Of $500.
Early in the season there was COM
pleted over Brunswick avenue by the
Central Maine Power CO. and the N.
e. Telephone Co. an entirely new line
to replace the unsigttly and erratic
one that has done duty there for so
many years. It is splendid piece Of
engineering and the installation cost
$500. In Brunswick square they erect
ed large ornamental pole with double
lights. The only expense borne by the
