45 HIGHWAY SURVEYOR'S REPORT

To the Selectmen of the Town of Andover:—

Gentlemen: I herewith present my report as Highway Surveyor,

As early in the spring as it was possible, work was commenced on the highways. Many of the roads were in bad condition, owing to the frost going into the ground so deep and the heavy rains following. The road scraper has been used on some thirty (30) miles of road and gravel used in places where it was most needed. When one stops to think of the one hundred and seventy-five (175) miles of road in Andover, the appropriation has to be stretched out in order to keep the roads in any kind of repair.

Sidewalks

This department has been looked after for the past season as well as could be expected with the amount of money we have to do with. About one and one-half (1^2) miles of sidewalks have been resurfaced, and as the sidewalk on Essex Street was

in such bad condition, part of it was laid over new ; curbstones were also set part of the way on the north side of Essex Street. A new concrete walk was laid from Summer Street to Whittier Street on Elm Street, and from Elm Street to Whitter Street on Summer Street. Macadam

In my opinion this department is the most important one of

all and I have tried to do what work has been done in the most economical manner as regards durability. Elm Street near the North Andover line was in very bad condition; this piece of

46 road (2200 feet) was rebuilt and surfaced with an application of Lawrence Gas Co.. tar applied hot and covered with sand.

This piece of road is now in first class condition. Union Street was also resurfaced and tar and sand applied.

This road has withstood the heavy automobile travel since last spring, and with another light coat of tar and sand next spring will last for years. A new piece of macadam road was built on the River Road in West Andover, about 2000 feet, which was also laid in tar applied hot. The special appropriation of $2000.00 for Salem Street was used in building a piece of road 2500 feet, from where Mr. Gould left off last year to the so-called Cape District to the Harnden farm. This also was laid in tar. Andover Street appropriation was used to build a piece of road commencing on Central Street near the Shawsheen River bridge and running to a point just beyond the residence of Joseph Stanley. This road was partly laid in Lawrence tar and the Barrett Company tarvia, to determine which would give the best results. In my judgment the tarvia is the better binder. A small piece of macadam was laid near the home of Mrs. T. F. Pratt, and many places which were in bad condition have been repaired. Snow

This department has not been overworked as there has been very little snow to care for. In conclusion let me say that there are about fifteen or twenty miles of old macadam roads in town which are sadly in need of repairs and will go to pieces next season unless they can be resurfaced and some kind of a binder used to hold the top of the road from being torn off by automobiles.

I would recommend the purchase of an oil wagon and also a heater for the purpose of heating tar, tarvia or asphalt, as these binders must be used hot to give the best results.

Highway Horses

The horses have done good work during the year that is just past, although they could not go far from the center of the town.

47 :

Ballard Vale has been well cared for the year past, and the roads which have been under the supervision of Mr. Haggerty are in first class condition.

EARNINGS OF TOWN TEAMS

OVERSEERS OF THE POOR

The Overseers of the Poor submit the following report for the year ending January 13, 1913. Owing to the high cost of living, together with the lack of frugality practised by our fathers,—the laying aside of a little in times of prosperity to meet emergencies that may arise, the calls for outside relief continue to increase alarmingly, and with the pauper laws as they are at present, where we are compelled to aid those in sickness and want who were not only born outside of Andover, but whose parents even have not lived hiere for from twelve to twenty years, but still retained a settlement here, not having gained one elsewhere, owing to the lax methods of other cities and towns. These calls for aid are not only perplexing, but although legal are absolutely unjust. Of these we have had quite a number the past year, and the calls from those of our own town have been many ; mothers with families of small children, deserted by their husbands, those afflicted by sickness, those out of work unable to provide the necessaries of life. Your Overseers have endeavored to the best of their ability to meet these demands, with equal justice to the applicants and to the town, and feel that the appro- priation for the current year should be $4200. During the year past ordinary minor repairs have been made at the almshouse, and through the suggestion of Supt. Swanton the old summer house near the road was moved opposite the entrance of the men's lounging room, fitted with windows and cement floor, and connected with steam from the house, giving the male inmates a good smoking-room, absolutely safe from fire, thus freeing the men's room, and in fact the whole house, from the, at times, offensive odor of confined tobacco smoke. During the present year some of the buildings will need

69 reshingling, and we recommend the sum of $400 for Almshouse Repairs. We cannot but reiterate what has been previously said of our Superintendent and Matron, Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Swanton. They both are peculiarly adapted to the position they hold, and the town is indeed fortunate in having those to care for the unfortunates, who not only look most carefully after the interests of the town, but at the same time have the respect and love of those under their charge.

By an Act of the Legislature passed in 19 10, towns are pro- hibited from publishing the names of persons receiving aid.

76 FIRE DEPARTMENT

REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER

To the Board of Selectmen,

Gentlemen : In compliance with the regulations of the Fire Department, I submit the following report:

From January 30, 1912, to January 30, 1913, we had 31 bell alarms, 14 still alarms, and one false alarm.

Value of buildings where fire occurred, $195372 50 Loss on buildings and contents, 8692 00 Insurance on buildings, *44275 00 The working force of the Department consists of three engineers, two permanent men, and 18 call men at the central house, and 10 call men of Hose 2. The apparatus in working order consists of one auto com- bination hose and chemical car, one third class fire engine, three two-horse hose wagons, one hook and ladder truck, one two- horse hose sled. Owing to having two permanent men and motor truck in the Fire Department, and the high and low water pressure, the insurance rates were lowered 10 per cent. We are the first and only town in the State to receive this reduction since the advent of chemical engines in Fire De- partments.

There is about 5000 feet of hose in good condition. The fire alarm and balance of apparatus are in first class condition.

The new heating boiler and the hose which it became necessary to purchase in 191 1 have been paid for out of this year's appro- priation. During the year a new hose washer has been installed, and

77 the meeting room finished. The old engine at Ballard Vale has been sold, having been condemned. The motor chemical and hose car purchased by the town was placed in commission July 8th and has done most of the work. The use of the chemical tanks has proved most efficient and reduced the water damage to a minimum. The car has run 31 miles, answering 17 alarms; laid 2850 feet of hose and used 301 gallons of chemical, at a cost of ninety cents for repairs and $15.40 for maintenance. SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY Two Engine Houses and Sheds, $23000 00 One Motor Hose and Chemical Car, 5800 00 One Third Size Steam Fire Engine, 35oo 00 Five Harnesses, 350 00 One Ladder Truck, 1400 00 Three Hose Wagons, 1400 00 One Hose Sled, 75 00 Fire Alarm System, 3300 00 5000 feet Hose, 2500 00

I recommend the appropriation of $5300.00 for running ex- penses, the purchase of new hose and such other additions as seem necessary. Respectfully submitted, LEWIS T. HARDY, Chief Engineer.

80 PARK COMMISSIONERS' REPORT

The Park Commissioners have no lengthy report to make this year. At the last town meeting, $1000.00 was appropriated for the parks, $250.00 of which was voted for developing the field at Ballardvale. The $750.00 at our command has been spent in maintaining the Common and the Bowlders.

Nothing has been done at Mt. Carmel; it seemed to the Commissioners a waste of money to spend much there unless the town is willing to police it, at least on Sundays and holidays. The work at the Playstead has continued steadily with the result that we have now a thoroughly built diamond and football field entirely satisfactory to the athletic interests of the town. If permitted to go on with the work the coming season our plan is to develop the area in the rear of the Stowe School Building for tennis courts. In regard to the low and swampy portion the Commissioners at present are in doubt as to its development, but rather incline to making it a place that could be flooded for winter sports. The only drawback to this scheme is the uncertainty of the water supply from natural sources. A beginning only has been made at Ballardvale. Our first plan was to rebuild the diamond, and Mr. Tarbell of Lowell was engaged to make surveys and do the work, but upon receiving word from citizens of that vicinity that there was no use for one this year, we changed our plans and commenced at the street lines to tear out bushes and remove the stone wall, preparatory to grading and levelling for shrubbery and grass. In conclusion we would respectfully ask for the usual appro- priations for the coming year, viz., $1000.00 for parks, of which

$250.00 is to be spent at Ballardvale, and $1000.00 for the Playstead. FREDERIC S. BOUTWELL, MYRON E. GUTTERSON,

84 REPORT OF TREE WARDEN AND MOTH DEPARTMENT

During trie past year about 50 shade trees have been planted in the various sections of the town, and during the summer dead trees removed and several of the elm trees trimmed and cemented up and I should recommend that the sum of five hundred dollars $500.00) be appropriated for this department during the coming year. Respectfully submitted,

J. H. PLAYDON, Tree Warden

In presenting my report of this department I am pleased to note that Gypsy and Browntail Moth work in the residential section is on the decrease, and in order that the same condition be maintained it is necessary to follow it up. During the past year another power sprayer has been added to our equipment, which will be of great help in spraying the woodlots and shade trees of our town and I would ask that the sum of three thousand dollars ($3000.00) be appropriated for the coming year, as all the roadsides in the outlying districts which have been cared for for the past two years by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture have now been turned over to this department and will have to be sprayed this coming summer, and from my own personal ob- servation I am a firm believer in spraying for all leaf-eating insects.

J. H. PLAYDON, Local Moth Superintendent

124 REPORT OF LIBRARIAN

To the Trustees of the Memorial Hall Library.

Gentlemen : —I herewith submit the report of the library for the twelve months ending December 31, 1912.

The circulation for the year has been 32, 415 volumes, prac- tically the same as for the last three years. This figure appears to be about normal for the town and probably will not vary much

Considering the size of Andover, it is a fair proportion of books per capita, but there are still many people in the community who do not realize how much of pleasure or profit the library can give them. If every person in town who is interested in any especial subject, would come to see what the public library can offer him on his particular hobby, he might be surprised at our varied resources. If we have not tne book wanted, we always try to secure it, either by borrowing from another library, or by pur- chase, if it is wanted for serious study. The list of books requested during the year is an interesting one, covering a great variety of subjects, and containing very little fiction. Our record for the past twelve months has been the usual one of routine. The reference work, especially during the school year, has been heavy. The bcal clubs depend largely upon the library for books to use in their yearly programmes of study, and we are constantly called upon to provide material for debates, entertainments and school exercises of all kinds. Our fund for the purchase of educational books enables us to keep this side of our library in excellent shape. Many of these books are appreciated by parents as well as teachers, for much of the new educational psychology and child training is as valuable in the iiome as in the school-room. During 1912, for the first time, we have circulated magazines. Extra copies of the Century, Harper, Scribner and McClure were

125 purchased for this purpose and were issued like books for a period of one week. This innovation was very greatly appre- ciated by the town, and the magazines are in constant demand.

It is a curious and rather interesting fact that McClure, the

only one of the cheaper magazines on the list, has been the least popular. For the coming year, in accordance with many requests,

the Atlantic is to be added to the number. We have purchased this year two important reference works; the new editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica and the Century Dictionary. We were fortunate in being able to have the English edition of the Britannica, the paper and plates of which are much superior to the American issue. For public library use,

this edition is by far the more satisfactory. Among gifts of books and papers, acknowledged elsewhere,

is one of peculiar interest. Professor James H. Ropes has presented the original manuscript of the address delivered by Phillips Brooks at the dedication of the Memorial Hall. This

seems a most appropriate place for it, and it is a gift valuable,

not alone for its subject, but for the interest and affection that centre around the name of Massachusetts' great bishop. At present the manuscript has been placed in the library safe, but

some time we may have a proper place to display it. Professor Ropes has also contributed a number of interesting autograph letters relating to the arrangements for the dedication of the Hall. They include notes from Bishop Brooks, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps and John Greenleaf Whittier. Professor Ropes sent as well, some of the earliest issues of the Punchard Ensign. We have to express our thanks to many friends for the flowers that never fail us, a steady supply from early pusry willows to the pansies that blossomed out of doors so late as November 25th. Between April and November, nearly 300 gifts of flowers have been brought to the library and have been a source of pleasure to all who come. More than a few visitors look in, not to read, but merely to see what pleasure the reading-room has to offer in the shape of blossoms from the Andover gardens. The question of opening a branch at Ballardvale was touched upon in the report for 191 1, and should figure as an important

126 matter in our plans for the coming year. It is unfortunate that the especial appropriation necessary for the purpose was lost in the town meeting, for it seems to have been entirely through a technical misunderstanding. But in the absence of an appro- priation, the Ballardvale branch had to be* deferred. There seems no reason, however, why it should not be carried through this year. A careful plan has been made for beginning this branch in a simple way, and if your board will incorporate in its request for the town appropriation, an additional $500 to be expended exclusively on Ballardvale, this branch can be started.

Necessarily, it will be small, and to begin with, open but a few hours each week. I should recommend that all borrowers in Ballardvale be allowed to keep their cards at the main library as well, since at its start, the branch must be too limited in resources to supply satisfactorily all the probable demands upon it. In recommending the $500 for equipping this branch, it is assumed that Ballardvale will provide a suitable room, perhaps in the building known as the " old schoolhouse " and have this room lighted and heated. It should be thoroughly understood that this branch must be a small affair and that it will be kept so until its existence at all is completely justified by its use. In regard to our present quarters at the Memorial Hall, there is simply the old story to be repeated. We have scant space for either books or readers. With our present equipment we cannot do more than we are doing. There is no doubt that the intel- lectual status of the town is such that a very high type of library work might be realized here. Yet the work is practically at a standstill because all that can be developed in our present en- vironment has been accomplished. The work that might be carried on with the children is out of the question when the only place for them to come is our small reading-room. Since the older people, too, have rights, the entire library cannot be turned into a juvenile room. It seems rather hard that year after year, we should have to report this familiar story, call attention to our crowded shelves, have unoccupied land ready and waiting for the addition we so much need, and still see the town remain oblivious to the fact that the library of 191 2 has completely outgrown a building that was ample for the library

127 of 1872. It appears incredible that Andover does not want its library to grow any more. In this age of society- forming there should be a society for the prevention of cruelty to libraries. There are many towns which do not realize that the public library is an essential part of their educational systems. A town that prides itself on its modern school methods and buildings, will be guilty of indifference, neglect or even cruelty as concerns its library, not understanding that it is of equal importance as an educational institution.

Our library needs more room. There is ample space and land for an addition to the north. Or, if it seems advisable to pro- vide an entire new building, which in the end would probably be the more economical policy, the Memorial Hall in its present shape, would afford ample room for the Grand Army, or for the Andover Historical Society, and such usage would not be at variance with the purpose and spirit of its erection. I wish again to express my thanks to the Trustees for the four months' leave of absence granted me during the year, and to Miss Twichell for her most efficient management during the time that I was away. Respectfully submitted, EDNA A. BROWN, Librarian

m INFORMATION FOR USERS OF THE LIBRARY

The Memorial Hall Library is open every day except Sundays and legal holidays from 9 to 12.30 in the morning, and from 3 to 9 in the afternoon and evening. Any resident of Andover over ten years of age may have a library card upon filling out an application blank. Children in grades below the Punchard School, are required to have their applications endorsed by both parent and teacher. All grown people are allowed to take two books, provided that one only is fiction. This privilege is also given to the Punchard pupils. Teachers are permitted to draw ten books strictly for school use. These books are subject to the ordinary rules of the library. Books are issued for fourteen days, the date upon which the book is due being stamped plainly on the " date due " slip at the time of issue. A book kept overtime incurs a fine of two cents for every day overdue. A few of the books most in demand are issued for seven days only. All these are labelled upon the book pocket, " Seven day book." Books lost or damaged must be paid for.

Fiction is not renewed or reserved for anyone. Books other than fiction may be renewed if no one else has asked for them, and if a work other than fiction is specially desired for any serious purpose, notice of its return to the library will be sent on request. The shelves of the whole library are open to all grown people.

The books are arranged according to subjects, and it is often much more satisfactory to go to the shelves and examine the books than to depend upon the catalogue. The only complete index of the contents of the library is the card catalogue. The printed catalogue of the books was issued ten years ago, and is out-of-date, besides containing the names of many books which are no longer in the library. The new books are listed at intervals in the weekly paper, and cumulated in the yearly library report, but the only complete record is the card

132 catalogue. This catalogue is arranged alphabetically like a dictionary. To find whether any given book is in the library, look for it under the surname of the author, or under its title. The right hand drawers of the case contain a second arrange- ment of cards where the books are entered according to the subjects of which they treat. The new books purchased each month are placed for some weeks in a special case on the north side of the reading room, so that the most recent additions to the library may be found there. The library buys only a limited amount of new fiction, but it tries to fill the wants of the community in regard to other books desired.

145 ROPORT OF CUSTODIAN JOHN CORNELL ART GALLERY

To the Trustees of the Memorial Hall Library :

Gentlemen : —The attendance at the Cornell Art Gallery in

1912 was much less than that of 191 1, not so much in the case of the children as that of the adults. In 191 1 the numbers stood, adults 1099, children 1128, making a total of 2227. In 1912, adults 354, children 1272, total 1626.

We know that more adults would gladly come if it were not for the breathless climb. Many will rejoice when the day comes that sees the gallery more conveniently located.

Some come expecting to find at least one new picture, if not more, and are surprised to find no change. Numerous, beautiful and valuable as the pictures are, there is no denying that a gallery should be progressive. It is true that the wall space is practically filled, but some of the pictures could be taken down temporarily. The addition of only one a year would be an incentive to visit the gallery. A Winslow Homer would be a great addition. It is to be hoped that sometime the funds will permit the purchase of the works of some of our fine American artists. Respectfully submitted, ABBIE S. DAVIS, Custodian February 1,1913.

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS

To the Citizens of the Town of Andover:

Your Board of Public Works submit their fourteenth annual report, embracing the twenty-fourth of the Water System, and the sixteenth of the Sewer, for the year ending January 13, 1913. WATER SYSTEM

There have been added during the past year 14013 feet of extension to the water mains. The location and details may be seen in the Superintendent's report. The total length of water mains is 46.99 miles, and the total number of hydrants is 344. Total services now in use are 1304, of which number 1081 are metered. The receipts from water rates are $19,687.47, a gain of $1171.48 over last year.

The expense of maintenance is divided as follows Cost of pumping, $3583 45 Office expenses, 1575 00 Care of teams, meters, and general repairs, 3456 95

$8615 40 Less credits, 497 S^

$8117 57

Appropriation in 191 2, $8200 00 Gallons of water pumped, 205,097,460. Cost per million gallons on cost of pumping, $17.48, which

was $17.62 in 191 1 .

Receipts per million gallons, $95.99, which in 191 1 was $91.03. An appropriation of $8500.00 is asked for the expense of main- tenance for 1913, to be divided as follows: Salaries, $3500.00; labor, $1800.00; fuel, $1400.00; supplies, $800.00; teams, $500.00; extra expense, $500.00..

The bonded debt of the Water System is now $194,000.00,

of which amount 50,000.00 is redeemable by sinking funds which now amount to $26,256.97. The balance of the bonded

debt is paid by annual appropriations by the town. An appro- priation of $750.00 is asked for the sinking funds account. The High Pressure Service System continues to give excellent satisfaction, and has materially increased the water rates. Authorized by vote of the Town, the land of the Boston Ice Company at Haggett's Pond was purchased at a cost of $2500.00. SEWER DEPARTMENT

Two sewer mains have been laid during the year. Thirty

applications for connections have been received, and all have

been accepted. Number of feet of connections laid is 1419. Total number connections 619, and total length of connections in service 36972 feet.

The bonded debt is now $53,000.00. The Sinking Fund is $29,180.00, leaving a net bonded debt of $23,820.00. In 1913 there will mature $20,000 of these bonds, $3,000.00 in 1919, and in 1928 the balance of $30,000.00, and an appropriation of

$1,000.00 is asked for ,to be applied to this account. The cost of maintenance for the past year has been $1431.22. Continued repairs are necessary on the filter beds, and an appro- priation of $2,000.00 is asked for. For details see the Superin- tendent's report. In accordance with the vote of the Town the installing of the sewer system in Abbott Village and Marland Village has been carefully investigated by the Board of Public Works, and they find that it would be feasible in relation to Abbott Village to begin 6 at the Pump House on Phillips Street, run down Central Street to the junction of Red Spring Road and Andover Street, thence follow the river through private land to Stevens Street, Marland Village, with the exception of a few hundred feet in Abbott

Village. From hence, enter Main Street, where it will connect with the present pump-house pipes. The two pumping stations will be done away with, and a new one installed. A centrifugal pump, operated by electricity, will be used, saving a great deal of water over the present system, and at a very slight cost for the electricity consumed. The following streets have been measured: Cuba Street, Red Spring Road, Essex Street, Shawsheen Road to A. Boutwell's, and Stevens- Street. The cost of this work, including stock, labor, pumping station and filter beds, will be $62,500. The plans for this work were accepted by the State Board of Health, June 8, 1898, and our Superintendent, in going over the plans with them during the past year, has found that only slight changes are necessary.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

To the Board of Public Works,

Gentlemen :

I herewith submit for your consideration, and of all those who are in any way interested in this Department of the Town,

the annual report for the year ending January 13, 191 3.

In compiling this report I have tried to have it appear suf- ficiently plain to be understood by every reader, and I hope that every patron of the Water System, and every taxpayer of the

Town, will be interested enough in it to give it a careful reading. During the year there were laid 10,025 feet of eight-inch water main, 3589 feet of six-inch main; 7 eight-inch and 4 six- inch valves, and 23 hydrants The following table will show cost of each.

During the year we have received 61 applications for new service pipes and have laid 61. There were laid by the Town 1395.8 feet, and 2949.2 feet by applicants, making 4345 feet laid. During the year there have been two discontinued and one relaid. The following table will show kinds and length of each in use.

This year there have been laid 2.45 miles of pipe for the Town. There has been laid on Railroad Street for the Tyer Rubber Company an eight-inch water main from Main Street to their new factory; this, with the fire-pipes on private property, and other work done by us, was done by the day, plus 10 per cent.

I would say when the work was all completed, it amounted to

$6808.83 ; this was turned over to the Town Treasurer. This work has been tested out at different times and found to be tight also, have tested hydrant on Railroad Street and found the pressure to be 95 pounds. All hydrants in the town have been looked at and found in first class condition since November 1. By testing out pipe?lines and finding and repairing leaks, this last year, the water rates have increased a great deal, while our

17 1 engineer's report shows only i /* million more gallons pumped. There have been reported 22 leaks. Sixteen were on our main pipe lines, six on service pipes. On account of the severe weather last winter, there were a great number of freeze-ups, 28 in number ; some of these were frozen two or three times.

This is the fourth year we have reported on our high service system, and the system has grown in that time to quite an extent. There have been added in that time 54 hydrants, 26 valves, 6.26 miles of main pipe. At the present time we are running the pump on this system about 24 hours a week. And the pump and engine continue to give excellent satisfaction. The pumping station at the pond has run this year 359 days, against 365 last year. The report will be found in the pumping records. The oil engine is giving good service. The steam plant had a thorough overhauling last winter and is now in excellent condition. There has been only one time this last year when the pond was below 14 inches from high water mark; this was the week of Sept. 28. The engine house has been painted and papered on the interior. The pumping station has been painted two coats outside, and one coat inside of the engine room. This next year the house should be painted outside and some money spent on the grounds.

The steam plant was run during the year 191 2, 43 days and 3 hours, pumping 28,604,149 gallons, a daily average of 665,212 gallons.

I believe it well at this time to state the advantage the automo- bile service would be to this Department, as we would be able

to attend promptly to leaks and meter trouble in all parts of the town, and save much expense in labor and damage, besides the accommodation we could render by arriving and answering these calls more quickly. I would recommend that one be purchased for the Department. In looking over reports from other towns where automobile service has been adopted, I find the saving

is from $200.00 to $600.00 a year.

18 SEWER DEPARTMENT

During 1912 there were 30 applications for house connections received, and all were accepted, making a total of 619. Length laid during 1912, 1419 feet. Present length of connections in service, 36,972 feet. This year we laid a main sewer on Whittier Street from Bartlet Street to the brook, a six-inch sewer with a five-inch under-dram a distance of 585 feet, with two manholes, at a cost of $532.28. There was also an extension of 142 feet on Chestnut Street; this was also laid with under-drain, at a cost of $293.08. This was solid ledge, which accounts for the cost being so much larger per foot.

During the year there were repaired three banks at filter beds, which gave way from the severe frost of last winter. The pump- house on Phillips Street, which was found to be in bad condition last winter, has been thoroughly overhauled, and new valves and rods complete put in new, and is now giving good service. I our pipes at the filter beds. This work has been suggested and urged by the State Board of Health, whose report shows that the beds are not doing their work satisfactorily, which I believe is due to the filling up of the under-drains. This work was started three years ago, but on account of lack of funds the work was necessarily postponed. The amount asked for will repair four or five beds, and with those already repaired we will then have about one-half the beds in first class condition. It will be necessary to repair these beds, or build new ones at a great expense. By repairing a few each year the present beds will do for years to come, or until a great deal more main sewers are laid. This work of relaying and cleaning pipes has been asked for by the State Board of Health, and I hope the extra appro- priation of $500.00 will be granted. The report of the Abbott Village sewer which was asked for at the last Town Meeting, will be found in the report of the Board of Public Works. Respectfully submitted, FRANK L. COLE, Superintendent
