Ira Select Board reviews road materials, mowing plans and Weaver Hill inspection

Highway business dominated several agenda items on May 29. Board members recorded complaints about the coarseness of material used on town roads and discussed adding more fines at a 2:1 ratio and applying material thicker. The board also noted the need for a guard rail on West Road and said a state representative will inspect the bottom portion of Weaver Hill Road.

John Farrell cannot perform roadside mowing this summer; the board will contact West Rutland about contracting mowing. The minutes further noted a hydroseed bank on Cross Roads, the need to blow out ditches and fill with stone where necessary, and that the grader requires a fuel cap.
