the moon; high water comes invariably
at midnight and noon, and at sunset
and sunrise the water is always low,

The local belief is that these So

true that the mornings are usually

toward midday, to die 3way in the

STREET commissioners
REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1921

"On account OF the open winter of
1921 and the continued use of auto
mobiles and trucks through mud
time, the streets and country roads
were in bad condition and needed a
large amount OF repairing, which was
done to nearly all of the city streets
and the rural roads," says jefferson
g. Longfeliow. street commissioner
Of Augusta, in his report for the
year 1921 which was presented and
accepted at the February meeting of
the City Council. Continuing the re-
port states:
Previous to oiling, many of 4 the
streets were scarified and turnpiked
and more or less surfacing was APP
piled and re-rolled, which made more
cost than usual.
considerable amount Of gravel
surfacing was done to Valley, Glen
don, Grove. Winthrop, Columbia,
Union, Catherine, Arsenal and Hos
pital streets; also on the North Bel
fast road to the Church Hill road,
and the West River road, nearly
| seven-eighths of mile.
considerable ledge excavation was
done on the Belgrade read near the
Bracket school house: widening and
Strengthening was necessary to make
the road safer.
New equipment much needed this
| year: One new G. M. C. truck, one
Ford truck, one Buffalo steam roller
with scarifier attached. one New
England road machinery stone crush
err. eight iron road drags, and other
small equipment.
New sewers have been built by
special temporary loan on North Bel
fast road, Whitney Brook, Bangor,
Allen, Locke, Prince and Howard
streets.
"A great many sidewalks were
! built this year and extensive repairs
were made. Numerous gravel surface
walks We're also built. A detailed &C
count will follow.
Repairs on several bridges were
necessary this year, as is shown by
the detailed account.
| New catchbasins have been built
on the following streets: Willow,
Summer, Union, Columbia, Valley,
Mt. Vernon avenue, and Bangor
streets. A number of old basins have
| heen repaired during the year"
The report contains detailed ac-
count of the 1921 highway expendi-
lures. The grand total for highways,
! bridges and sewers was $112,11S29
An inventory of buildings and equip
ment of the City Highway depart
ment is also included in the report,
the total amounting to s2+,07450.
