Mr. F.. D. Sabin,
District Highway Engineer.
Dear .Sir: -
-In compliance with your recent request, I am sub-
mitting an estimate for the cost of construction of Main Street,
Reading from the northerly end of` the State Highway at the rail-
road corssing of the B. & M. to the southerly end of the Reading
North State highway just beyond the Square.
This estimate calls for a travelled area of 40 in
width from the B. & M. R. R. crossing to Green Street and for
the full width of the square and Lowell Street as designated
on blue prints submitted by the town and includes a total area
of 19, 500 sq. yds. of surfacing. -I have prepared two estimates:-
one for a reinforced concrete .pavement 8" in depth with the
necessary drainage;- $2 covers the cost of building this section
with 7" bituminous macadam.
