Waddell, Director of Accounts, Department of Corporations and Taxation, State House, Boston. Sir:- In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of North Andover for the period from Oc~cober 6, 1940, the date of the previous examination, to September 1, 1941 and report thereon as follows :- The books and accounts kept by the Auditor were ex- amined, checked, and compared with the records of the sev- eral departments in which money is collected or bills are committed for collection, and with the records of the Town Treasurer. The general appropriation accounts in the ledger were analyzed, the appropriations and transfers being compared with the Town C~erk's record of financial votes passed in Town Meetings, and with the Advisory Board's records of transfers from the Reserve Fund. A trial balance was taken off, proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town on September 1, 1941, were prepared and is appended to this report. The books and accounts of the Town Treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts,'as recorded, were ann- TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. lyzed and checked with the records of the several departments collecting money for thc town and with other sources from which money was paid into the Treasury, while the payments were compared with the Selectmen's warrants authorizing the Treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book was added throughout for the period covered by the audit and the cash balance on Septembe.r 1, 1941, was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank in which the town funds are deposited and by inspection of the savings bank books. The payments made for maturing debt and interest were. compared with the amounts falling due as well as with cancelled securities and coupons on file. The savings bank books and securities representing the trust fund investments in the custody of the Town Treasurer and the trustees were examined and listed, the income being proved and the transfers to the town and disbursements be- ing verified. The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and reconciled with the tax books and the ledger accounts, and were further verified by check- ing with the records in the Registry of Deeds. The books and accounts of the Collector of Taxes were examined and checked. The poll, property, and motor vehicle excise taxes, as well as special assessments, outstanding according to the precious examination were audited and all subsequent commitments were checked to the warrants for their collection. The payments to the Treasurer were checked to the Treasurer's cash book, the recorded abatements were compared with the Assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts. The departmental and water accounts committed for col- lection were examined and checked. The commitments were proved, the recorded receipts were checked with the pay- ments to the Treasurer, the abatements were compared with the records in the departments authorized to gra~t abate- ments, and the outstanding accounts were listed and recon- ciled with the respective ledger accounts. The outstanding tax, assessment, departmental, and water accounts were verified by mailing notices to a num- ber of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts as listed, are correct. ANNUAL REPORT 41 The records of licenses and permits issued by the Select- men, Town Clerk and the Health Department were examined and checked, and the payments to the Town were verified. The Surety Bonds of the several town officials required by law to furnish them for the faithful performance of their duties were. examined and found to be in proper form. In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned the records of all other departments whe~rein money is col- lected for the town were examined and checked. There are appended to this report, in additibn to the balance sheet, tables, showing a reconciliation of the Trea- surer's and the Cbllector's cash, summaries of the tax, as~ sessment, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, to- gether with tables showing the condition and transactions of the Trust Funds. While engaged in making the audit, co-operation was received from the officials of the town, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appre- ciation.

ARTHUR JENKINS, Sealer of Weights and Measures. ANNUAL REPORT HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT 55 To James W. Elliott, Auditor: I submit to you my annual report of the Highway De- partment for the Year ending December 31, 1941. Summary of the Work of the Highlway Department. The snow appropriation was used for ploughing, sand- ing streets and sidewalks, removing snow from in front of public buildings, stores and churches. Much of the snow equipment had to be repaired and painted and the snow fences were taken care of in the Fall and Spring. The following streets were oiled and' sanded: Ashland St., Adams Ave., Bunkerhill St., Brewster St., Buckingham Road, Chapin Road, Cabot Road, Concord St., Chadwick St., Camden St., Columbia Road, Dale St., Elm St., Elmwood St., Ferry St., Forest St., Farnham St., Fernwood St., Great Pond Road, Glenwood St., Green St., Grosvenor Ave., Herrick Road, Hewitt Ave., Harwood St., Irving Road, Inglewood St., Linden Ave., Lexington St., Lyman Road, Longwood Ave., Marbleridge Road, Minute Ave., Moody St., Norman Road, Parker St., Pleasant St., Perley Road, Prospect St., Railroad Ave., Rosedale Ave., Robinson Court, Russell Si., Stevens St., Sutton St., Saltonstall Road, Troy Road, Tol- land Road, Winter St., Wood Ave., N. Main St., Furber Ave., Little Road, Lacey St., Rea St., Chestnut St., Appleton St., Wood Lane, Summer St., Lorraine Ave. These streets were scarified, graveled, shaped, rolled and oiled: Dana St., Dewey St., Marblehead St. from Harold St. to Dewey St. On Great Pond Road from the intersection of Stevens Street and Great Pond Road to the residence of Frank Covell the road was scarified, graveled, shaped and rolled and oiled. The road was covered with one gal. to the square yard of 3T. tar, also at the corner of Gr. Pond Road and Marbleridge Road the road was brought up to grade and covered with the same kind of material. Six hundred feet was scarified, shaped, graveled, and rolled on Great Pond Road at Country Club and treated with T3 tar, four hundred feet scarified, shaped, graveled and rolled at the residence of Fred Whit- tier's and treated with T3 tar. After an interval of ten days the entire road from the Gage residence to Whittier's resi- dence was covered with MC2, sanded and honed. Clark Street from Sutton to the airport and thirty-five hundred feet on Boston Skreet was shaped, rolled and covered with 56 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. one gal. to the sq. yd. of T3 tar. After a lapse of ten days, both pieces of the road was covered with 3/10 to the sq. yd. of MC2. On Union Street from Marblehead Street to the end of the stree.t it was covered with asphalt and then with Pea Stone. Five hundred feet of twelve-inch pipe was laid on Green Street, and three hundred feet on Parker Street. This pipe was necessary to allow entrance to be made into the homes recently built in that section. In various sections of the town many broken surface drains were taken out and replaced. All fences in town were repaired and painted. Cement sidewalks were constructed on Middlesex Street from Railroad Ave. to Marblehead Street from W. P. A. Funds. By vote of the Selectmen $347 was transferred from W. P. A. funds and $400 was spent from General Mainte- nance appropriation of the Highway Department to bring the road up to grade thus widening it considerably. This work was most essential due to the increased traffic on this street. Three catchbasins were rebuilt on this street. Sidewalks. The following sidewalks were. repaired or rebuilt: twenty-one sq. yds. dressing on Water St., seven hundred twenty-two sq. yds. of dressing also in another section of Water St., four hundred thirteen sq. yds. dressing on Beverly St., two hundred fifty-n/ne sq. yds. dressing on Suffolk St., eighty-eight sq. yds. dressing on Middlesex St., four hundred fifty-nine sq. yds. dressing on Stonington St., seven hundred one Bit. concrete dressing on Beverly St., twenty-two sq. yds. cement sidewalk on Bradstreet Read, twelve sq. yds. cement sidewalk repair on Edmund Road. Many other sidewalks were repaired with cinders and Pea Stone. Chapter 90 (1940 Maintenance) Under Chapter 90, Sutton Street from High Street to 0sgood Street was honed, and resurfaced with Pea Stone and asphalt. As the appropriation was made late in the Fall of 1940 it seemed more advisable to wait until the Spring to do this work. Chapter 90 (1941 Maintenance) Six hundred feet on Boxford Street and from the corner of Salem Street and Boxford Street to the residence of Miss Ely on Salem Street the road was resurfaced with pretreated Pea Stone and TCB6 and rolled. Two thousand thirty feet of ANNUAL REPORT 57 guard rail was also set up on Boxford St. Peters Street was also covered with Pea Stone and RC3 and rolled. Respectfully submi,tted, IRA D.

ANNUAL REPORT STEVENS MEMORIAL LIBRARY To the Citizens of North Andover: The Trustees take pleasure in presenting herewith the annual report of the Librarian, Miss Marion F. Batchelder. To the Trustees of Stevens Memorial Library: I herewith present the 34th annual report of the Li- brary, for the year ending December 31, 1941. "When people are burning books in other parts of the world, we ought to be distributing them with greater vigor, for books are among our best allies in the fight to make de- mocracy work."--Jo'hn W. Studebaker. The quotation given above is a statement by the United States C~mmissioner of Education and is being emphasized more and more by libraries throughout the country. We brarians feel that "Our first and most impo$'tant function is to make easily available to our community all the informa- tion that already exists in our libraries, to expand that in- formation, bring it up to date, and make the services of the library so well known that the community will instinctively turn to the library for information, courage, and inspi- ration.'' I 'have quoted from a paragraph in the leading editorial of the January 1, 1942, LIBRARY JOURNAL. It expresses better than I can what we all feel about t.he Library's mission in war times. We can not carry on without proper support, even though we are not a part of the national emergency. It is part of our duty to help the community's morale by of- fering residents reading of all kinds, both for information, inspiration, and enjoyment. In looking back over the past ten years, I have noted a constantly growing list of community services which we have offered. We have not been content to sit back and let the community come to us. We have tried to go out to the community. As a result, we hope that the individual in the community will look to the Library for the information which we can offer them. Our staff is quite good for a town of this size. One assistant is entering the fifth year of her service, another is completing her fourth year. Miss Keating has .been with the Library on part time since 1919. Not during any time within the past thirteen years have there been so many calls for all kinds of material. Much goes on in a Li- brary besides the circulation of books. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. In point of view of circulation, the year 1941 was active. The total number of books issued from both Library, schools and Center deposit station was 55,880. This is only a slight loss in circulation, being 1377 fewer than the number of books borrowed in 1940. It is more than compensated for by the quality of the books lent and the number of reference questions answered. 41% of the total number of adult books lent were non-fiction, and of the total number circulated, 20,764 volumes, or 37% were non-fiction. Per capita circu- lation was 7.4. 36,241 books were loaned from Adult Department in Library. 3,563 books were loaned from Adult Department at the Center. 13,028 books were loaned from Children's Room at the Library. 1,103 books were sent to schools. Circulation of these was 4,048. Total circulation of books at Center was 3,563. Of these 2,544 were. books for children. Among the adult borrowers of non-fiction, the books on Useful Arts (technical and mechanical books) led in popu- larity with an increase of 216 over the circulation in 1940. This class includes the books on trades, machine shop work, textiles, household management, cook books, books on auto- mobiles and aviation. Next in popularity come biography then literature. It is interesting to note a decrease in circulation of books of travel. This is without doubt due to the war and the fact that fewer travel books of note are being written. The Library was open 303 days, with a daily average circulation of 184 books. The largest number was 358 on October 14 and the smallest was 31 on December 24, a stormy day when the Library was closed at 5:30 P.M. and did not re-open in flqe evening. No accurate report can be given this year of the total number of persons who are active borrowers. This is be- cause a re-registration is going on at present. This is the first complete re-registration for over thirteen years. Pre- viously, we have tried ~ remove all inactive cards yearly and have watched the local papers for death and marriage records. However, it is customary for libraries~ to have a complete re-registration at intervals of not more than five years, and it is high time that this bo done here. At the end of 1942, we hope to have an accurate idea of the total num- ANNUAL REPORT bet of active borrowers. During 1941 200 adults and 88 chil- dren registered. 106 were transferred from the Children's Room. 802 books were added to the book collection. Of these, 108 were gifts. 75 more were added in 1941 ~chan in 1940. 582 were withdrawn. It is estimated that the Library has 21,002 volumes. Note~vorthy additions in 1941 were a set of civil service examinations on Calculating machine; Chemistry; Engi- neering fundamentals; Aeronautical engineering; C~vil en- gineering; Electrical engineering; File clerk; Physics; Sta- tionary engineer and fireman; Junior statistician, and Social worker; Principles of E~lectroplating; Atlas of World view; Audel's Welder's Guide; Classic Latin Dictionary; Rand McNally Ready Reference Atlas of the World, con- taining the 1940 census figures; Machinery's Handbook; Oxford Companion to American Literature, by J. D. Hart; Young America's Music, a useful set of music in eight vol- umes; Textbook of Advanced Machine Work, by R. H. Smith; State Board Questions and Answers for Nurses, by E. B. Butzerin; A Treasury of Gilbert and Sullivan, edited by Deems Taylor; Patterson's American educational Directory; American Glass by George S. and Helen McKearin; Story of Modern Art, by Sheldon Cheney and three textile books pub- lished by the International C~)rrespondence School, Wool Preparation; Woolen Carding and Spinning, and Weave Con- struction and Cloth Analysis. We also have a magazine list of some 65 different periodicals. O~e of the most valuable is CURRENT BIOGRAPHY, a monthly publication providing lively full length sketches, illustrated with photographs, of people in the news, including authors of best sellers, foreign correspondents, political leaders, scientists, physicians, in- dustrial and labor leaders, radio and motion picture stars. We are grateful to the following people or organizations, who have given us books or magazines during the year: Mrs. Lillian K. Mason, Mrs. Walter M. Whitehill, Mrs. Hollis R. Bailey, Hyannis Public Library, ]]eatrice N. Weibel, Fried- rich Kurzmann, Mrs. Joseph Kittredge, National IIome Li- brary Foundation, Edith L. Fierce, Deborah E. Stillings, Robert S. Rockwell, J. ti. Fenton, Foster Hope Company, Davis & Furber Machine Company, Charles A. Appleton and to Mrs. Jennie J. Wight Howes, formerly of North Andover who has given us a copy of her latest publication DE- SCENDANTS OF JAMES IRISH, 1710-1940. Book se~wice, begun st the Center in 1940, has been continued. 3563 books were issued from there in 1941. Books TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. were available for an hour each evening on 4g evenings. The average evening circulation was 74. We feel that this is very helpful to residents of the Center and that i~ is appreciated is evidenced by the fact that the Center Playground Associa- tion ~has offered to transport the books to and from the Center during the winter months when the Lib,'arian's auto- mobile will not be available for use. This year it can be truthfully said that the Library has been the center of community activities. It has been headquarters for the preliminary lectures on Air Raid Precautions, given by the Women's Division of the North Andover Public Safety Committee. Two Red Cross first aid courses are being given here now; the North An- dover Woman's Club is using the Hall for its Executive Board meetings; the North Andover branch of the ¥.W.C.A. Girl Reserves meet here each Friday when school is inses- sion, and a little club made up of girls in the 6th grades meet here weekly to make scrapbooks for the Hospital. At the invitation of the Librarian, the North Andover Parent- Teacher Association met at the Library on November 6. The Library furnished the program, the topic being "What the Library Can Offer the Parent and Teacher." We had a book exhibit and those present seemed much interested. The Li- brarian talked to them about the picture collection owned by the Library from which pictures are loaned upon request, about the pamphlet collection and about the magazines ~vhich the Library owns which are of interest to parents. Miss Edna Cassidy, a substitute at the Library and a stu- dent of the Library Science School at Simmons College spoke of the reference books owned by the Library, and Miss Ev- elyn Robinson, Children's Librarian at Andove~', spoke of the outstanding books for children. The Library also had an at- tractive display of new books for children. The Library has been one of the distributing centers for announcements of the courses offered by the Andover Evening Study Groups for Adults. The North Andover Garden Club keeps its books in our Reference Room and they are available for Garden Club members and also for the general public. For the first time, it has been possible to give lessons in the use of the library to pupils of both the seventh and eighth grades of the public schools. It is helpful to these students as they go on to high school, and by giving lessons on the make-up and care of books to the 7th grade, it is possible to give more detail in the eighth grade to the use of the card catalog and arrangement of the books on the shelves. ANNUAL REPORT 85 Practice questions which the boys and girls do add to the. value of the lessons. The boys and girls enjoy this and each year at the beginning of the year, we get many questions as to "when they are coming to the library for lessons?" A picture collection, available for use of any borrower, is one of the new services, offered by the library this year. This is a project, originated by Miss Stillwell and carried on by her. The pictures, most. of them in color, have been cut from duplicate copies of the NATIONAL GE0,GRAPHIC MAGAZINE and mounted. Pictures are available on many sub.~eets which tie up with the school curriculum and have been used largely by teachers. At present, the Library has more than 500 mounted pictures and offers to make them up to order. 110..'1 pictures were circulated in 1941. A pamphlet collection is also growing but there are not as many requests as we could supply. In these days of con- stantly shifting opinion and swiftly moving world events, pamphlets and current magazines afford the best way of keeping up-to-date. The pamphlet collection also contains excellent vocational material. Work with the children has continued although it has been less intensive than in some previous years. Miss Dor- othy Michelmore had a story hour in February. During the summer, the Library had a small vacation reading club in which the children read each week about definite parts of our country. Progress of each reader was marked on sectional maps which were posted in the Children's Room. Books per~ raining to each week's reading were displayed on the tables. There were 22 members. No rewards of any kind were offered except that the child's name appeared on the map of the week. We have been pleased to have a gift of a book dis- play truck, holding about 200 books, which we are using for the intermediate group of boys and girls. These are the ones who have outga'own the books in the Children's Room, but are not yet quite ready for the stacks. It is very popular with these boys and girls and we find that this is the place they go to first when they come in for books. We are trying to keep a constantly changing selection of books on this truck. The staff have engaged in many outside professional activities. Miss Stillwell returned to Trenton, New Jersey, in the summer to take six weeks more of the Library course which she began in the summer of 1940. This completes half of the library school training which she means to complete, if possible. She has also taken academic courses at Boston University. Miss Driver is taking a course in Children's Literature in Boston. Both Miss Stillwell and Miss Driver 8~ TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. attended sessions of the American Library Association meeting in Boston in June. Miss Batchelder has attended numerous library meet- ings, including the American Library Association, the Massachusetts Library Association, the Children's Libra- rian's Round Table of the Massachusetts Library Associa- tion, and goes monthly to a meeting for informal discussion of librarian's of life-sized libraries, where many common li- brary problems are taken up. She has given book talks and book reviews in several places in Greater Lawrence, doing this whenever she is asked as a part of her professional duty. She has been asked to be Director of the local com- mittee to secure books for the Victory Book Campaign which begins January 12, 1942. In closing, the Librarian wishes to express her apprecia- tion to all members of her staff and to Mr. Coram, the janitor, who have carried on faithfully and have undertaken to carry out the increasing demands of the public. She is grateful to the Trustees for their support. She feels that the national emergency will prove that the Library will be needed more and more, in spite of the fact that there will be less time for leisure reading.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MOTH AND TREE DEPARTMENT During 1941, the Gypsy Moth condition has improved somewhat throughout the town. This is probably due to the fact that for the, past three years we have had a large crew of men working; creosoting gypsy moth egg clusters along the roadsides and in the woodlands. This year we were able to do a great deal of early spraying, due to excellent weather conditions and this is very effective on the young calerpillars that were feeding. The Brown Tail Moths were considerably less in number this year, less than one thousand brown tail webs were collected, while last year seven or eight thousand were collected. The Tent Caterpillar Pest was lessened this year due to early spraying. The Elm Leaf Beetle condition is not good but is much improved over last year. This year we sprayed twice where conditions were bad; the first spray was put on when thc beetles started to feed before the female lays her eggs; the second spray was put on about a week after the eggs hatched and the larvae starts to feed on the underside of the leaf. This showed good results with the exception of the places which could not be sprayed, where cattle were feeding and where hay was being cut, etc. The Tree Department removed a number of trees and stumps during the year. Where the new homes have been built on Railroad Avenue, Green Street, Parker Street and other sections, some trees had to come down so that side- walks and drive.ways into garages could be constructed. Many trees were trimmed, shaped and dead wood removed. Each year the lower branches have to be trimmed on the street trees to give the large trucks a clearance. There were fifty Norway Maple Trees planted in the Spring in different parts of the town, especially where new homes have been built. Brush was cut on the bad corners and on the narrow country roads. This brush cutting must be done each year to make motorist's vision clear. This brush must be disposed of by piling and burning. In our Town Forest, about 4000 of the larger pine trees were trimmed up, and the last lot of spruce, about 3000 of them, were trimmed. In order to plant, any more young pine trees, we will have to clear more land. JOHN J. CONNORS, Tree Warden. ANNUAL REPORT 93 BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT The Board of Health meet on the last Thursday of ev- ery month, to act on any matters pertaining to the health of the town. We are pleased to report that t:here have been no serious run of communicable diseases during the year, due in great measure to the caution exercised regarding quarantine and to preventive work done. The number of contagious diseases reported in 1941 was one hundred and fifty, as follows: Chicken-pox, sixty five; dog bites, thirty four; whooping cough, thirteen; tuber- culosis, twelve; German measles, nine; measles, four;" mumps, three; cat bite, one; lobar pneumonia, three; scarlet fever~ one. Deakhs from reportable diseases, tuberculosis, two; 1o~ bar pneumonia, one. During the year we 'have had ten patients at Essex Sanatorium, at present seven. Diphtheria preventive clinics have been successfully conducted as usual. We wish to advise the parents that chil- dren should be given the diphtheria [oxoid as soon as pos- sible after the age of six months, although there have been but four eases of diphtheria in the town since 1931 one im- mune carrier could cause this disease unless the preventive treatments are carried out on all children. Infant welfare and pre-school service provides, instruction to mothers on the care of the child, help her to interpret the doctors orders, communicable disease control by recognition of early symp- toms and by immunization, assist in correction of defects, planning low cost menus for limited budgets and instruc- tions in hygiene in the homes. ALL COMMIJNICABLE. DISEASES ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE REPORTED TO THE BOARD OF HEALTH. Di~. E. ~¥. A. HOLT, Chairman H. E. 1V[eQUESTEN GEO. JEWETT LUCIA P. tLATHAN, R.

The Water Department will in all cases furnish and lay the service pipe from the street main to and through the cellar wall and provide on the end thereof a stop and waste valve. In any case where an owner shows sufficient reason he may be permitted to lay a pipe on his own property, but pro- vision must be made, at the owner's expense, so that a meter installation can be made where the Water Depart- merit work ceases. The owner of the premises shall in all. cases pay for such service pipe as may be laid within his premises, together with the stop and waste valve, at such rates as may be fixed by the Board of Public Works. The Board of Public Works reserves the right to establish a minimum price for service installations. Payment in full must be made for any service ins~llatJon before the water is turned on. 2. The Water Department will set meters on all serv- ices and charge a rental of two dollars per year for .%-inch meters and a sui~ble increase for larger sizes.

All meters will be kept in repair by the Water Department unless damaged by the frost, hot water, or through the fault or negligence of the owner or tenant of the property. No more than one meter may be installed on any service unless the owner agrees to have each additional meter (for the purpose of billing)considered as a separate service. 3. ~ persons using water must furnish in~rn~ pipes, connections and fixtures and keep them and all pipe to the street line in good repair and protected from frost at their own expense, and the Towu will not be liable for any damage resulting from failure to do so. Any expense 102 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. incurred in clearing services must be borne by the con- sumer. No person will be permitted to connect with any water pipes on the inlet side of the meter in any way or manner without a written permit from the Board of Public Works. 4. Water rates shoal be payable at the office of the Board of Public Works quarterly. No abatement of water rates shall be made except when the entire premises are shut off for a period of at least three months.

In case of shutting off or letting on the water for repairs, testing of pipes or any other purpose the sum of one dollar will be charged. 5. The water rates shall be paid by the owner or les- see of the whole premises and the owner shall in all cases be responsible for the water rates of his tenants. 6. No water taker shall supply water to parties not entitled to its use, except on written permit from the Board of Public Works. 7. All apparatus and places supplied with water must be accessible at all reasonable times to the inspection of the Board of Public Works or their agents to examine the pipes and fixtures and ascertain the quantity of water used and the manner of its use, and all pipes and fixtures shall be subject to rejection by said Board of Public Works if considered unsuitable for the purpose. 8. Upon application of an owner a meter will be moved and tested. For this service a charge of one dollar will be made.

Eight six-inch gate valves were placed. The water main system now consists of fifty-five and ninety-two hundredths miles of main pipe, two twelve- inch check valves, one fourteen-inch gate, twelve twelve-inch gates, thirteen ten-inch gates, sbrty-three eight-inch gates, five hundred and fifteen six-inch gate valves and three hundred and thirty-four public fire hydrants. The new water main extensions were as f(>llows: Faulk- ncr Road, from Greene Street to Parker Street, six hundred ninety-eight feet of six-inch pipe, two six-inch gate valves and one hydrant: Parker Street from the previous terminus to Faulkner Road, sixty-two feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate. valve; Turnpike Street from the previous terminus at 642 Turnpike Street, three hundred twenty-one feet of six-inch pipe. Six-inch gate valves were placed on the following hydrant branches: near 35 Beverly Street, Middle- sex Street at Railroad Avenue, near 45 Milk Street, near 310 Pleasant Street and hydrant replaced. New hydrants and six-inch gate valves were placed on Massachusetts Avenue at Beech Street with thirty-seven feet of six-inch pipe and on Willow Street near the Andover cut-off. The hydrant on Church Street at Cross Street was moved back four feet and the hydrant on Salem Street at Weston's driveway demolished by an automobile was replaced. Because of the very limited number of men available (maximum 22) for W. P. A. projects in North Andover and the large amount of main sewer extensions and water service work, no W. P. A. projects were undertaken in 1941. The system of water main pipes is listed according to size as follows: ANNUAL REPORT 111 SIZE 05 PIPE (INCrHES) 14 12 10 8 6 LENGTH OF PIPE (FEET) 788 20828 8095 42838 222699 There were installed during the year 1941 fifty-five new services, which is one less than in 1940, the record year for water service installations. Eighty-six old services were either wholly or partially renewed. Sixty-one new meters were installed and one hundred seventy-four old meters were inspected and repaired by the usual factory methods. Five .discontinued services were dug up and shut-off at the main, making a total of one hundred thirty-five services re- moved from danger of leaking. There. were forty-one service leaks, three joint leaks, and two hydrants broken off by automobiles. Hydrants were inspected and a great deal of repair work and parts replacement was necessary on some of the old hydrants which have bee~ in service over forty years, close to the limit of their useful life. Gate valves were inspected as usual. The reservoir embankments and grounds were cut, old stumps and brush removed, and holes filled. A great deal of work was done on the property at the Pumping Station. The boiler room wails, ceilings and pipes were washed down and painted with aluminum paint. The engine room walls and ceiling were painted. A complete change in the piping from the surface condenser to the Blake and Knowles condensate pump made possible much better operation with the ex- tremely low water in Lake Cochiehewick from August on. A Grinnell Thermolier Unit heater was installed in the engine room. New seats and discs were placed in the main steam valves. Heavy screens were placed on all the windows and flood lights placed in the rear of the station and in the coal bin. The road and driveway to the coal bin were resurfaced with the cooperation of Highway Surveyor Ira D. Carry. A concrete apron was placed at the rear entrance to the station to take care of the water from the eaves. The rear side of the engineer's house was shingled and the house was painted. All boating and fishing was prohibited on Lake Cochiehe- wick, as well as on all other public water supplies in Massa- chusetts, but upon the petition of the Board of Public Works permission was granted to boat and fish on a more restricted area of Lake Coehiehewiek after flow tests had been made by the State Health Department. An abundance of the algae, Anabaena, present in Lake Cochichewiek in the late fall was closely watched by the State Health Department but no trouble developed in the 11'2 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. water system and no treatment was made. One hundred and twenty-two boat registration plates were issued and two hundred and sixteen residents were granted permits to boat and fish on Lake Cochichewick. Monthly bacterial examinations of the water have been made by the Depart- ment of Public Health of the Commonwealth and the water found to be satisfactory. Quarterly inspection of the double check valve installations between the town water supply and other sources of supply for industrial use only have been made in co-operation with the State Department of Health. The lowest water level ever recorded under our present system of reference to mean sea level was on December 8 when the elevation was 105.93 feet. In June Superintendent Duffy was appointed to serve, without pay, as Assistance Zone Water Supply Co-ordinator for Essex County by the Adjutant General of the Commonwealth under the "State Emergency Plan." After considerable, investigation permission was granted to the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company to ground aerial cables to the water mains on the following streets after the company had agreed to indemnify and save the Town harmless against all damages, costs, and expense: Brightwood Avenue at Chadwick Street, Johnson Street at Marbleridge Road, Osgood Street at Pleasant Street, Pond Street at Great Pond Road, Great Pond Road at Marbleridge Road, Stevens Street at Pleasant S~reet, Great Pond Road at Stevens Street, Salem Street at Appleton Street, Chest- nut Street at Milk Street, Chestnut Street at Hillside Road, Andover Street at Chickering Road and Railroad Avenue at Greene Street. The first three: connections only have been made. William J. McGee, long and valued employee died sud- denly on November 6, 1941. Under special articles in the warrant a new duplicate Wallace and Tie.rnan Type M. S. P. chlorinator was installed complete with an operating panel so that either the new, old or both chlorinators could be used if necessary. A new 1/.2 Ton International truck was purchased to replace the old International truck. In following out a definite construction program in order that the water system may be strengthened and im- proved so as to meet any anticipated requirements in the future it is recommended that: 1. A new twelve-inch main feeder line be laid from the reservoir to the downtown section via Chestnut Street, Hill- ANNUAL REPORT 113 side Road, and Turnpike Street. 2. The original ~vooden coal bin a~ the Pumping Station be replaced with a larger bin of permanent construction. 3. A ten inch dual main be placed on Johnson Street from Mill street to the present eight-inch auxiliary line to the Reservoir. 4. Continue the eight-inch main on Osgood Street from Prescott Street to Sutton Street as recommended by the New England Insurance Exchange. Sewer Department The North Andover Sewerage System is designed to flow in three divisions: The East Side Drainage Area with /ts trunk sewer following Cochichewick Brook from Lake C'ochichewick to the Merrimack River; the West Side Drainage Area with its trunk sewer on Railroad Avenue, Greene Street, and along the Shawshecn River to the Merri- mack River; the Central Drainage Area bounded by Rail- road Avenue, Middlesex, and Water Streets, with trunk sewers in Rail~vad Avenue, Water Sire.et, and Main Street, to the Merrimack River. There are nineteen and forty-eight hundredths miles of sewer in the North Andover sewerage system with about four hundred and seventy-five manholes. There are eleven hundred and ninety-one particular sewers connected with the main sewers. The main sewers are. listed according to size as follows: SIZE OF SEWERS (INC!HE~) 24 20 18 15 12 10 8 6. LENGTH 0,F SEWERS (FEET) 5926 822 8450 3313 3294 12096 20723 47513 The main sewers were constructed in 1941 at consider- ably less than the estimated costs as shown by the unex- pended balances listed elsewhere in this report because the unusually dry summer created a favorable condition for sewer construction at the depths and locations petitioned for. The purchase of sewer pipe for the entire year in March at an especially low price was also a factor in the unexpected balances reported. The following sewers were constructed: Marblehead Street ~rom William to Dewey Street, three hundred and six £eet of eight-inch pipe and two manholes; Dewey Stree~ from Marblehead Street, two hundred feet of six-inch pipe and one manhole; Greene Street, from Massa- 114 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. chusetts Avenue to Parker Street, one thousand feet of ten- inch pipe and five manholes; Greene Street, Parker Street to Woodbridge Road, seven hundred and three feet of eight- inch pipe and four manholes; Parker Street, Greene Street to Faulkner Road, seven hundred feet of ten-inch pipe and four manholes; Faulkner Road, from Greene Street to Tavern Road, five hundred and two feet of eight-inch pipe and three manholes; Osgood Street, from Bay State Road southerly, one hundred and two feet of fifteen-inch pipe. Under the Works Progress Administration the COncord Street sewer started in 1940 was completed in February ][941 with the installation of two hundred and twenty-feet of eight-inch pipe and two manholes. Forty-one connections, including four renewals, totaling two thousand two hundred and ninety feet, were made be- tween buildings and the main sewers. Thirty-six particular sewers, most of them blocked with roots, were cleared. Twelve feet of main sewer on Stonington Street were relaid on account of root trouble. The main sewers were flushed a~d cleared in the spring as usual. The following recommendation is made in order that the sewerage system ma5' be improved in accordance with a definite program to promote the health and convenience of the people of the town: 1. The East Side Trunk Sewer to be extended from Ste- vens Street at Harkaway Road in order to take care of the Bathing Beach and the Center. Further extensions of the sewerage system on the. West Side Drainage area must await the extension of the West Side Trunk Sewer from Massachusetts Avenue southerly along the Shawsheen River. Few extensions in the C'entral Drainage Area remain to be made. It should be noted that the sewerage system in North Andover was designed and has been constructed as a separate system making use of small diameter pipes and high velocity of flow with no provision for drainage of surface or ground waters. The use of the sanitary sewer for drainage purpose is a violation of the rules relating to their use, and the con- tinued use of the sewers for this purpose will eventually lead to unsanitary conditions and considerable expense to the town especially if the proposed trunk sewer from Lowell to the sea is constructed and North Andover's sewage dis- posed o5 in that manner. Surface drains have been provided in many locations and can be in many others to take care of such drainage without subsequent damage or expense. ANNUAL REPORT 115 PARK DEPARTMENT The Center Common, Training Grounds, Memorial Park, Historical Society Plot and the Triangles have been main- tained as usual. The feeding of the elm trees on the Commomin 1940 and the e~ective spraying made possible 'by the assistance of the North Andover Garden Club minimized the attack of the Elm Tree Beetle this year. The trees on the Common Park and Training Ground were trimmed and cleared and the dead wood removed. The trees on the Park were fed with Bartlett's tree food and special attention given to some of the maples. The triangle at the corner of Marbleridge Road was en- tirely rebuilt and a triangle at Andover Street and Massachu- setts Avenue was loamed and seeded. The interest and cooperation of the North Andover Im- provement Society, the Garden Club, and many private in- dividuals is again acknowledged. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM B. DUFFY, Superintendent.

To the School Committee of North Andover: I herewith submit to you my fifteenth annual report. Center School Grounds Graded When the new playground adjacent to the Center School was graded, the portion of the school yard back of the Center School was lowered about five feet close to the building. The outside door and stone steps, exactly like those at the Milk Street entrance, were removed. The door was replaced by windows. Three of the stones went to Lewis Mandry, 168 Summer Street, and the remainder were placed by the lookout tower on Prospect Hill. The rough external wall exposed by lowering the level of the playground will be covered by a smooth facing during the coming year. Defense Training Stresses Mathematics A broad background of training in mathematics is demanded in our national defense program both of candi- dates for men in defense industries and for a large propor- tion of the enlisted men. The 'outline below indicates the place in mathematics in a nation at war: Infantry: All enlistees: Arithmetic, intuitive geometry, elemen- tary algebra. 1st class privates and officers: Geometry, mechanical drawing, probability and probable error. Coast Artillery Corps: Advanced algebra, plane and spherical trigonometry, solid geometry, probability and probable error. Field Artillery: Officers: Advanced algebra, plane trigonometry, solid geometry, probability and probable error. Ordinance Dept.: Algebra, geometry and trigonometry in high school, and should specialize in mathematics in college. Air Corps: Ground Force: Algebra, geometry and trigonometry in high school, and extensive college mathematics. Pilots, Navigators, Bombardiers: Algebra, plane and ANNUAL REPORT 123 solid geometry, plane and spherical trigonometry; probability and probable error. Signal CorDs: Algebra, geometry, mechanical drawing. Merchant Marine Officers: Advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, plane and spherical trigonometry. Navy: Enlisted men: Algebra, intuitive geometry, mechanical drawing. Officers: Advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, plane and spherical trigonometry. Defense Industries: Algebra, geometry (intuitive and plane), a little solid geometry, trigonometry, elementary statistics. The more of these subjects a worker has, the greater his opportunity. This includes women as well as men. Johnson 7th from Bottom in Pupil-Teacher Ratio Mrs. A. Russell Mack, State Supervisor of Secondary Education, again this year reminded us that there are too few teachers for the number of pupils at Johnson High School. The regulations of the State Department of Educa- tion permit a maximum o£ 30 pupils per teacher and there are only eight high schools in the state that exceed that ratio. One of those eight is Johnson High at which there are 31 pupils per teacher. In this respect Johnson ranks seventh from the bottom o£ 260 high schools. Long Term Building Program Already Planning Committees are preparing programs of public works to take up the employment slack at the dose o~ the war. Long term planning of school building in this town should include either land and a building for a junior high school or additional land and an annex at Johnson - High School, replacement of the Union School by an annex on the Thomson School, replacement of the Old Bradstreet School by an annex to the New Bradstreet School, and a new school building at the Center. Air Raid Protection Each building has been supplied with equipment for extinguishing incendiary bombs. In each building a refuge room has been designated to which the pupils go when an air raid alarm sounds. Frequent drills keep the pupils familiar with the'technique of going to the refuge rooms and for behavior while there. 124 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. Air Raid Wardens Air raid wardens have been appointed in each school building if any of the staff have taken the air warden course, Appointments to date are as follows: Alvah G. Hayes, Johnson High School F. Milton Howard, New Bradstreet School Elizabeth McCarthy, 01d Bradstreet School Mary C. Mylo[t, Thomson School Mary Murphy, Union School Six Long Term Employees Leave Miss Mary Claire McCarthy (Mrs. Paul Hill) resigned as teacher last summer to be married. She taught two years in the Kimball School, 18 years in the Franklin School, and five years in the Thomson School. During these 25 years of service, she was absent but one day, which constitutes a remarkable record. After having served as School Nurse for 22 years, Miss Grace N. Robinson, R. N., retired at the age of 70. She was North Andover's first school nurse and she worked faithfully and diligently to put the health work on a truly professional basis, Miss May C. Leach resigned at the end of the school term in June because of her approaching marriage. She had served 'since 1934 and was North Andover's first full-time public school music supervisor. Miss Mildred E. Green of the Johnson High School staff has presented her resignation effective January 30, because of her approaching marriage. She joined the staff in 1923 and her number of years of service there is exceeded only by those of three other teachers. The many fine class plays staged at Johnson in recent years were coached by her. The first secretary in the School Department office was Dorothy E. Currier (Mrs. Norman Humphries). She served as clerk from 1924 to 1941. Examples of her fine penmanship appear in many of the records of the School Department. Mr. Jeremiah Murphy resigned as janitor of the Brad- street School during the summer. He had served since 1924 when he succeeded Mr. Harold Newton. Need for Scholarship Funds A boy's or girl's ability to profit by advanced ta'aining is not determined by the financial standing of his or her family. Many very promising youth fail to receive education beyond high school because of the inability of the parents to afford it. Existing scholarships are insumcient to meet the need. ANNUAL REPORT 125 Ten Superior Youth Receive Only High School Education 0£ the boys and girls who in 1940 discontinued their education without going beyond high school and went di- rectly ~t0 a job, ten had intelligent quotients above 120 or were superior. This £act should stimulate the founding of more scholarship funds in this town by organizations and by individuals. 75~ of Pupils Reach Standard Grade Medians During September 1941, the 579 pupils in grades III to VIII inclusive were given the Master Achievement Tests in reading. Of these 579, there were 427, or 75%, whose scores equalled or exceeded the standard medians £or their respective grades. Other Standard Tests Given In April 1941, the Otis S-A Mental Ability Test, Form C, was given to the pupils in grades VII and VIII, and to the Juniors and Seniors. In April, the. pupils in grade VIII made a median grade score of 9.3 in the Iowa Reading Test, form A. M. This was five months above standard. In Closing I wish again to acknowledge the hearty cooperation which I have received from my associates in this Depart- ment and for which I extend to them my great appreciation. Respectfully submitted, FRED E. FITKIN, Superintendent of Schools. 1'26 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL January 5, 1942 To the Superintendent of Schools: I submit to you my tenth annual repor~ High School. For the past five years, the enrollment by October 1, is shown in the following table: for Johnson grades as of 1937 1938 1939 1940 1941 Post Graduates 14 20 19 14 6 Seniors 79 73 72 95 104 Juniors 80 87 116 118 98 Sophomores 101 123 131 121 135 Freshmen 130 134 114 I40 101 464 437 452 491 4a4' This table indicates of steady decrease in the number of pupils enrolled as post graduates, as could be expected under present extraordinary conditions, as well as a marked decrease in the total number registered during the present year. This situation will probably exist for some years to come. However, our enrollment can decrease by 50 more students and we will even then have the maximum number of pupils per teacher recommended by the State Department of Education. By far the largest Senior class in the 74 year history of our school, graduated last June, at which time 95 young men and women received their diplomas. Practically none are at present unemployed. Many have been absorbed by industry, many others are continuing their education in colleges and other training schools while some have already joined the armed forces of this country and Canada. The North Andover Woman's Chub scholarship was awarded last year to Thomas B. Lesure who is continuing his studies at Boston University. This young man was also the recipient of a freshman scholarship from the University. The Harvard Club of Andover scholarship was awarded to Joseph C. Finneran who is now in his first year at Harvard COllege. It is gratifying to note that their records indicate the above awards were not Unmerited. Last year we continued our policy of giving an extensive series of vocational tests to Seniors who desired this service. Our program has been conducted in conjunction with the Boston University office of guidance, and has, in practically all instances, proved to be of very definite value in focusing ANNUAL REPORT 127 attention upon the strong and weak points of the pupil. In addition to this program, all pupils in the Junior and . Senior classes were given the Otis Mental Test for the de- termination of intelligence quotients and the Strong Voca- tional Interest Test to assist in judging the probable success and satisfaction in various fields of work. In order that proper use may be made of the results obtained, this program, in the future, should be completed earlier in the school year. One change has occurred in our high school teaching staff within the year. Miss Dorothy Colburn, who had b~en with us for eleven years, resigned to take a like position in her home town of Natick. We were, indeed, sorry to lose Miss Colburn who had had marked success in the classroom and the gymnasium, but we feel extremely fortunate in having been able to secure Miss Claire Torpey to assume these duties. Miss Torpey has had previous experience in Con- necticut schools. During the past few months practically all members of our faculty have been actively engaged in some phase of defense work. Several are now taking courses which will enable them to render much needed community service if the occasion ever arises. In many of our school classes we have also attempted to give instruc~tion in various phases of defense preparation extending from first aid instruction to centents and composition of bombs, and approved methods for their control. With regard to the present emergency, some definite plan should be adopted by the school committee, relative to diploma awards to members of the Senior class who might enlist before graduation. Our athletic program has continued to prosper. The girls' basketball team once again won their league champion- ship with the loss of a single game, while the football team of the past fall defeated its annual rival from Andover for the first time in twenty-eight years. It should also be men- tioned that financially, our athletics are on the soundest basis in many years. The athletic treasury at the present time shows a balance of approximately $1500. Our report cards state that visitors are always welcome and parents are urged to call at the school at any time. This invitation, however, is seldom accepted, as is noted by the names of visitors recorded in the school register. In the past, visits have usually been made only after difficulties had arisen. It is the contention of this office that many of these difficulties might never have occurred had the homes main- rained closer contact with the school. Accordingly, the invi- 128 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. ration is exten~ded through this report, for parents to feel free to call at the school at any time. It is your school, and you are always welcome. In conjunction with our course in Salesmanship, we have continued the policy of providing actual sales experi* ence in stores and other consumer enterprises of Greater Lawrence. This experience provided the opportunity for permanent employment for at least two graduates of last June, as ~vell as part time employment for several others, Recently this office has assisted in providing girls for after- noon or evening work in homes where these services might be desired. To the present time, fifteen girls have been put in contact with such opportunities. Four pupils have been employed under the N. Y. A. program this year. This program makes it possible for certain pupils to earn a portion of their school expenses in return for work performed along various lines defined by the school. It appears, at present, that this government program will be abolished after the present school year ends. This would be in line with the proposed policy of retrenchment in many governmental agencies. Viewed in retrospect, it can safely be said that the past year has been one of excellent accomplishment. This has been due not to the efforts of any one, or group of individuals, but to the combined efforts of all who in any way are responsible for the proper operation of our school. To the entire group, this office bespeaks its sincere appreciation. Respectfully submitted, ALVAH G. HAYES, Principal.

A Real Estate Development, extending Tavern Acres, has been approved. The land use maps of the entire town prepared as a W. P. A. Project have been completed. Two prints of these have been made, one complete set having been allotted to the Assessors. These are to be bound and kept on file at the Town Building for the use of any authorized person. Con~ sideration is being given to the preparation of up-to-date "Regulations for Subdivisions." We have had several consultations with an authority on zoning and it is our belief that it would be advisable to engage a competent engineer to prepare a zoning~ordinance and plans for consideration at the Annual Meeting in March, 1943. We are recommending in the form of an article in the Town Warrant that the sum of $800 be appropriated for this purpose. This amount is approximately half of what would be required if the new land use plans were not available. Regular meetings of the Board are held at the Town Building on the first Friday of each month for the consid- eration of any matters within its authority. It has been impossible for our member, James Daw, to attend meetings .during ,the past year, as he is on duty with the U. S. Army. He was the first volunteer from this Town in the present emergency, and to him we extend our best wishes. We have been allowed $100 for expenses during the year and have used $16.85 as follows: Russell Sage Foundation--books $ 5 00 John ttosking--supplies I 85 Mass.
