Road was strip- ped and trucked to the cemetery and then laid out and graded. More fencing is needed to complete this job, plus paving of the roadway itself. The cemetery received quite a bit of vandalism dam- age this fall, due to someone breaking off all of the water faucets and standpipes. Until these are replaced, no water will be available to water flowers, etc. Approximately 5,000 tons of hot top was used this year on town roads, plus about 1,000 tons of cold patch. Winter sand was swept off the streets again. We are using much more sand, approximately 6,000 yards, in an effort to cut down on salt usage. More new roads have been added again this year due to new developments, so even with using more sand, we are at present holding our own. We have asked for one new sander body, which will improve our sanding 100% and speed up our service. We also screened and stockpiled our winter sand again. We received our new pakker plus the two dump trucks we had asked for: and now, we should be able to give faster and more efficient service, win- ter and summer. We now have no hired trucks; and therefore, have better control as they are radio equipped, except for one truck. As your road agent,
I expect, barhng a bad accident, etc., that we should not need any new dump trucks, pakker truck, or pickups for at least 5 to 8 years, with prop-
er maintenance and care. For this, I wish to thank the selectmen.

Again. I request whatever bridge money may be left over that it be retained for next year as we plan to replace two of the narrow and misaligned cement bridges on Mt. Road, with multiple pipe arch, which should need no maintenance for our lifetime after installation.
St. Anselms Drive will be completely recon- structed from approximately Myers Driveway to College Road this year, which will be a large help. From College Road to Rockland Avenue, will re- quire complete underdrainage. and it may call for special funds as the T.R.A. Funds will not cover the cost of that section by itself in 1976. We hope to widen and straighten several bad curves on Wallace Road, particularly near the Bedford line. The usual repair and painting of our equipment will be carried out to protect our equipment.

It is our pleasure to bring you a report of Town activities which occured during the year 1974. Fire Chief Morgrage announced his intention to retire early in 1975. We appreciate his dedicated service to the Town and wish him many years of happy retirement here in Goffstown. Two full-time fire fighters were employed by the fire department which will provide for additional fire protection for our citizens and property. IVIajor highway projects included the completion of rebuilding Daniel Plummer Road, widening of (vlast Road at the Goffstown Plaza, continuation of work on St. Anselm's Drive, resurfacing of North l^ast and High Streets and continuation of the planned program for resurfacing of other Town streets and roads. Henry Bridge was repaired and painted which should insure that costly major repairs will not be required in the next few years. The Police Department, faced with increasing demands for service, carried out its responsibilities in the professional manner we've become accus- tomed to. The parks and recreation expanded programs pro- vided for more participation in healthful activities by both youth and adults. Expenditures for the year were $1 54,91 2 less than what had been budgeted. This amount contributed to a large surplus for the year. We extend our thanks to the department heads for their diligent attention
John C. Sarette, Henry T. Grady, Chr. and Elmer B. Nickerson. to budget control and the outstanding cooperation of all Town employees. Sincere thanks and appreciation are also extended to all the committees, boards, commis- sions and other town officers who devoted so much time and effort to the successful operation of your town government. Without the support and understanding of its citi- zens, a government cannot function effectively, so, to you, we express gratitude and appreciation. 1974 TOWN BUSINESS MEETING March 9. 1974 The meeting was called to order by Moderator Aime R.
