i <br /> 37 <br /> Chapter 90 Construction <br /> Under Chapter 90 Construction which took into consideration <br /> Seconsett Island Road project to raise the causeway and insert a <br /> 10 x 14 ft. archway connecting Hamlins Pond to Waquoit Bay. <br /> i <br /> Contracts were issued to Reynolds Brothers and construction was <br /> started in December 1972. <br /> Chapter 497 Acts of 1971 <br /> Under Chapter 497 which is a state grant awarded to all <br /> towns through a one cent increase in gasoline tax and earmarked <br /> Highway Maintenance, we were able to accomplish many overdue <br /> maintenance problems and projects which could not be accom- <br /> plished through Chapter 81 and Chapter 90 Maintenance. De- <br /> grasse Road was one of these major projects. <br /> In an attempt to improve on the streets and roads for construc- <br /> tion in private developments, the Planning Board has requested <br /> the Department's assistance and inspections of road beds prior to f <br /> their final approval. These inspections have been made since June <br /> 1972. It has also been made policy by the Planning Board that the <br /> Department construct and place on site all street signs of uniform <br /> pattern to assist Police Dept. and Fire Dept. in locating streets on <br /> emergency calls. <br /> In closing, we would like to express our thanks and gratitude <br /> to all the Town Departments and Committees which have assisted <br /> the Highway Department and a special thanks to Mr. Mouse and <br /> MX. Flanagan of the Massachusetts State Department of Public <br /> Works, District 7 for their help and consideration. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> GEORGE F. GREEN, <br /> Highway Surveyor <br />
