Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nineteenth Annual Report of the Massachusetts Highway Commission, for the Fiscal Year Ending November 30, 1911: Part I. State Highways and Motor Vehicles; Part II. Supervision of Telephone and Telegraph Companies; January, 1912 Mr. Harold Parker, of Lancaster, who was a member of the commission since 1900, and chairman Since the spring Of 1908, tendered his resignation to take effect on Nov. 1, 1911, having completed eleven years of faithful service to the Commonwealth. The work of the commission during the past year was much the same as in the last few years. Less time was required for consideration of telephone rates, as fewer complaints were made, and, consequently fewer hearings were given. The number of investigations and hearings in automobile cases increased more than sufficiently to make up for this, however. Many requests were made by the officials in charge of roads in various cities and towns for engineering advice, and these were complied with as far as possible, though many times there was no engineering force available for making the necessary surveys. When surveys were made by the towns, however, the commission rendered engineering assistance to the extent of preparing specifications and contracts for the work.
