WILD OSCAR L, SOUCY EDWARD E. CURLEY Board of Assessors STEVENS MEMORIAL LIiBRARY To the Trustees of Stevens Memorial Library: I hereby submit to you the forty-first annual report of Stevens ]~emorial Library for the year ending December, 31, 1948. Circulation of books to borrowers is one of the customary ways of meas~u-ing a library's usefulness ~o the community. It is inadequate because it does not include the calls for reference materiah the service to individuals who may not wish ~o borrow a book but who do wish to look at some paper, magazine or book within the library walls, as we]2 as many other intangibles which make up a library day. This year, in addition to the number of books issued, (a 'total of 60,124) there are several outstanding developments in the library worthy of mention in an annual report. The opening of the new children's room-on November 15, 1948, was an even~ to which the present librarian and her predecessor, Miss Elizabeth M. Pond (who retired in 1938) had long been looking forward. It had been in our minds for so long that at times it seemed like a mirage. This room, which is downstairs in what was formerly a lecture hall and which still doubles for a lecture hall La the eveni,~gs, has its own entrance and e~it and is we]2 equipped to serve the children. During the daytime there is little resemblance to the lecture hall of old. Many parents, who have been persuaded by their boys and girls to visit the new room, have exclaimed over the suitable-sized tables and chairs, attractive bulletin boards which form integral parts of the book shelving, and the color- ful window draperies. An exhibit case, a gift to the library, adds to the charm of the room, since it permits the display of many collections made by our boys and girls. Among the things already displayed have been a collection of dolls of all descriptions, mounted butterflies, miniature animals and model planes. The former children's room has been converted into a young people's room. This room and the reference room have been painted a warm ivory making the rooms seem much lighter in spite of the inadequate lighting. The table and seven chairs have been refinished, ~wo comfortable easy chairs have been given and decorative shades have been put on the wall lamps. New lights on the table still remain to be iustalled. A young people's program with monthly planned attractions is in preparation, begim~ing on the evening of January 14, 1949, with the showing of the film "World Series, 1949" and two films of winter sports. 43 The showing of films has been made possible through the gift of a 16 mm. sound motion projector. Since February, when the projector was acquired, eleven children's programs have attracted 2,238 children to the library. Thirty-six films have been shown. These programs always add to the circula- tion of books since admission is by ticket .only and the children have to come to the library to secure tickets. We have found, too, that more books sre issued since, the new chl]dren's room was opened. Three programs arranged for adults and young people brought 167 persons to the library. The adult shows consisted of two travel films, three films in observance of United Nations week, and a film "Seeds of Destiny", which was used to introduce a panel discussion on the Marshall Plan participated in by Johnson High School students. A beginning of a record collection was made in February with the acquisition of eleven albums. Eight more albums and five single records have since been added. All but one were gifts although only eight albums of the total we're used records.-The public has been pleased that there is an oppor- tunity of borrowing records. 507 records have been borrowed. In order to develop this service it will be necessary for us to add records at regular intervals and to find a more suitable place to keep them than the present closet adjoining the librarian's office. I1 would be desirable to purchase an inex- pensive record player so that it could be used for programs within the library. On two occasions this year we have bor- rowed record players. Those who have g~ven record albums during 1948 include Robert S. Rockwell, Blain Saunders, Richard Oagnon, Robert Galaher, and Marion F. Batchelder. Thc book stock has been increased by 688 volumes. 165 of which were gifts. The ~otal book collection is now 20,766. Several of these books were memorial gifts. The Hainsworth family have continued ~o give ~wo books each in memory of James P. Hainsworth, the School Committee gave "George Washington" by Dm~glas Southall Freeman, in memory of the late tterberi Eugene McQuesten, and the Ingrain family have g~ven several books in memory of several different people. It seems a fitting sort of perpetual memorial, since it furnishes pleasure for a long period of time to others and keeps fre~sh for thai same period the memory of the person so honored. Mr. Clyde W. ]{ichburg has made 'appropriate book- plates. Among useful gifts other than memorial have been several titles of the 25c "Pocket Books". These fill a need for escape reading and can circulate a few times with a minimum of work of prepm'ation. A gift of local interest was "Forest Influences" written by Professor Joseph Kittredge of the lJi~iversity of California and presented by his mother, Mrs. Joseph Kittredge of Yonke~'s, New York. 44 The library staff have participated in three broadcasts over radio station WCCM. This activity had to stop because of press of work but may be resumed in February 1949. A lYnlvers]ty Extension dourse in Interior Home Decora- tion was sponsored by the library .and was well attended, there being 52 registered. Other classes are in prospect for the winter and spring. Three annotated reading lists have been issued by the library. A leaflel giving ~nformation to new borrowers was also issued. Copies of this ]ea£1et were distributed to new residents of the community. Activities in the children's department include organiza- tion of a summer reading club. with fifty-five active members; weekly story hours a~ both summer playgrounds duifing the vacati~on period; weekly s~ory hours at the library £or vacation reading ~lub members and a Christmas story hour. The November meeting of the North Andover Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation was held in thc new children's room, the program having been planned by Miss Stillwe~l and a number of young readers. A capacity audience was present and a social hour was enjoyed ups;airs in the main reading room. Miss Stillwell has becon~e a member of a gronp of young people's [ibrarians of the vicinity of Grea~er Boston who meet rather informally at the various libraries. She attended a two day pre-conference meeting of young people's librarians held at Atlantic City, New Jersey, in connection with the meeting of the American Library Association. Miss Batchelder and Miss Stillwell have a;tended meetings of the Massachsetts Library Association and all full-time staff members were in attendance at a regional meeting of library workers held in Dracut in October. Mrs. Elwyn A. King has joined the, library staff as a part-time worker. She is a Tufts College graduate and has.a keen interest in children and young people. We are very fortunate to have been able to secure Mrs. King. ~ Book service to shut-ins has been done in a small way. Those who desire book service are urged to telephone the library a~d books will be delivered to them. A re-registration of adult borrowers m m progress. For this reason the exacl figures of thc number of adults using the library can not be given. If the year 1948 has been a success, the credit is due to those of thc staff who are responsible for its serwce and to the Board of Trustees for their helpful interest and co- operation. l~espectfully submitted, MARION tv.

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 propexty,~ but provision must be made, at the ~owner's expense, so that a meter in- stallation can be made where the Water Department 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 Wor~ks 'reserves the right to establish a minimum price for service installations. Payments in full must be made for any service installation before the water is turned on. 2. The Water. Department will set meters on all services and charge a rental of two dollars per year for 5is-inch meters and a suitable increase for larger sizes. Consumers at their option may purchase said meters when they will be marked on the books as private and no rental will be charged..&Il 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 uuless the owner agrees to have each additional meter (for the purpose of billing) ~onsidered as a separate ~ervice. 3. All persons using water must furnish internal pipes, con~nections 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 Town will not be liable for any damage resulting from failure to do so. Any expense incurred in ~learing services must be borne by the consumer. 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 shall 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 all cases of non- payment of water rates within sixty days after the same are due as well as for any violation of these rules, the supply may he shut off and water will not again be let on except upon 56 payment of the amount due and the sum of one dollsL for shutting off and letting on the water. In case of shutting off or letting on the water for repairs, testi~ng 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 lessee of the whole premises and the owner shall in ali cases be responsible for the water rates of his tenant. 6. No water taker shall supply water to parties not en- titled to its use, except on written permit £rom the Board of Public Works. 7. All apparatus and places snpplied 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 thc manner of its use, and all pipes and fixtures shall be subject to rejection by said Board of Public Works if con- sidered unsuitable for the purpose. 8. Upon application of an owner a meter will be removed a~d tested. For this service a charge of one dollar will be made. In. case the meter in question is found to over-register more than three per cent this charge will be cancelleg and a proper adjustment made. 9. The Boned of Public Works reserves the righ~ to restrict the use o£ hose or £ouatains, to shut off the water when it becomes necessary to make extensions or repairs or for violation of any of the Regulations. 10. Art. 7, Sec. 1, Town By-Laws: No person shalt open any hydrant of the water works system of the Town without written permission previously obtained from the Board of Public Works.

Nine six-inch gate valves were placed. The water main system now consists of fifty-six and seventy-five hundredths miles of main pipe, two twelve-inck check valves, one fourteen-inch gate, twelve twelVe-inch gates~ thirteen ten-inch gates, sixty-tin'ce eight-inch gates and five hundred, and ~i£ty-eight six-inch gate 9dives and three hundred and thirty-six public fire hydrants. The following water mains were placed by John I). Driscoll, Contractor of North Andover, the iow bidder: Peru- brook Road from Lyman Road five hundred sixty-seven feet ' of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve, Pembrook Road from existing private main by means of an easement from Ernest W. Nutter three h~mdred ninety-five feet of six-inch pipe, one six-inch gate valve and one hydrant, Tyler Road from Pcmbr0ok Road to Woodbridge Road, four hundred nine- ty-four feet six-inch pipe and one gate valve. Eighty feet of six-inch pipe was p]aced on Brewster Street from the previous tcrminous by water department employees. The broken hydrant at Greene Street and Massachusetts Avenue was replaced with a new one, ~noved-back ten feet and a six-inch gate placed on the hydrant branch. 'The hydrant at 79 Sutton Street was moved eight feet. A six-inch gate valve was placed on Johnson Street at the reservoir right of ~vay. Six-inch gate valves were placed on the fo]lowing hydrant branches: Middlesex Street at Beverly Street, Academy Road at North Parish Church, Railroad Avenue at Sargent Street. The defective hydrants at 940 Dale Street, 671 Chestnut Street and 34 Rca Street were replaced with new ones. The system of water main pipes is listed according to size as follows: SIZE OF PIPE (INCHES) 14 ~12 10 8 6 LENGTH OF PIPE (FEET) 788 20828 8095 42838 ~ 227115' There were installed during the year 1948, Sixty-five new services, six less than thc previous year. Thirty-six old ser- vices were either wholly or partially renewed. Sixty-eight new meters were installed and two hundred and sixty-nine old meters, including nineteen frozen meters, were inspected and repaired. The removal, inspection and repair of meters accor~ng to the definite program adopted in 1937 has been a big factor in the high percentage of water accounted for and in no increase in water rates despite the rise in cost of 66 all operations. There were twenty-eight service leaks, one joint leak, ~nd one hydrant broken by an automobile. All hydrants ;yore inspected and repaired where necessary. Elec- tric and telephone poles adjacent to hydrants were marked. with a yellow band to enable the firemen to locate the hy- drants. Gate valves were inspected and repaired. Six dis- .continued services were shutoff at the corporation, three of them on ~Johnson Street at the time of the Tats Pipe Lining work. A defective vacuum vessel elbow ~n the 2.5 million gallon per day pump at the Pumping Station was replaced. Repairs were made to the Detroit-Lo-Stoker, Carling Turbine, and the Ruggles-Klingemann damper regulator. Eight hundred and forty feet of eight-inch ~nain and over twenty-one hundred feet of six-inch main on Johnson Street from Andover Street to the reservoir right of way were cleaned and cement lined in place by Tare Pipe Linings, Inc. under Article 26. Water was supplied to Haverhill on September 28 and to Andover on November 13 during water supply emergencies in those .communiti es. One hundred and forty-nine boat registration plates were issued and two hundred and seventy-eight residents were granted permits to boat and fish in Lake Cochichewick. forcement of the regulations of the State Department of Public Health for preventing the pollutio,n and secm'ing the sanitary protection of the water of Lake Cochichewick, source of our water supply, has become serious with the increasing use of thc lake for recreational purposes. The reservoirs were inspected by the County Engineer as required by the General Laws and found to be in satisfactory condition. Constant bacterial examinations of the water have been made by the Department of Public Health and the water found to be satksfac~cry. Quarterly inspection of thc double check valve installat'(m ~ between the public water supply and other sero'cee of supp~'y f,,c im[ustrial use only, have been made in coopera- tion with ~he Department of Public IIeMth of the Common- wealth.

There are twenty-one ~nd fifteen hundredths miles of sewer in the North Andover sewerage system with about thirteen hundred and seven2y-thr~e sewers connected with the main sewers. The main sewers are listed according to size as follows: SIZE OF SEWEtl.8 (INCHES) 24 20 18 15 12 10 8 LENGTH OF SEWERS (FEET) 4926 822 8450 3429 3214 15757 25431 47903' The fo[lowing main sewers were constructed in 1948 by John D. Driscoll, Contractor of North Andover, the low bidder Pembrook Road from Lyman Road, five hundred fifty-eight feet of eight-inch pipe and three manholes, Pembrook Road from Greene Street, five hundred and two feet of eight-incl~ pipe and three manholes, Tyler l~oad from Pembrook Road to Woodbridge Road, five hundred and nine feet of eight-inch pipe and t~ree manholes. Two hundred and thirty feet of six-inch pipc and one manhole was constructed by department labor on Hemlock Street from Parker Street. Sixty-two co~mections, including three renewals, totaling thirty-eight hundred and ninety-three feet were laid between buildings and main sewers. Fifty-nine particalar sew.ers, most of them blocked by roots, ~vere cleaned. All main sewers were flushed and cleaned in the spring as, usual, while fifteen main sewers partially blocked with roots were inspected and cleared several times. 68 The following recommendations are made in order that the sewerage system-may be improved in accordance with a definite program to promote the health and convenience of the people of the town. The sewer on Osgood Street be extended from Bay State Road to Andover Street. The East Side Trunk Sewer be extended from Stevens Street a; Flarkaway 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 Tr~mk sewer from Massachusetts Avenue southerly along the Shawsheen River. Few extensions in the Central 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 seperate system making use of small cliameter pipes and high velocity of flow. with no provision for drainage of surface or ground waters. The use of the sanitary sewer for drainage purposes is a violation of the rules relating to their use, and the con- tinned use of the sewers for this purpose will eventually lead to~ unsanitary conditi(ms and considerable expenses to the town, especially if the proposed trtmk sewer from Lowell to the sea xs constructed and North Andover's sewerage disposed of 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~ PARK DEPARTMEN. T The Center Common. Training Grounds, Memorial Park, l:[istoricaI Society Plot, Farring~on Burying Ground and the Triangles have been maintained as usual. A small power mower ~was purchased to supplement the two large power mowers so that the two park department employees could devote some time to the Bathing Beach as well as Grogan's Field. A dead tree was removed from tho Common and all the trees were sprayed through the coopera- ti(m of Tree Warden John J. Connors. Shrubs in some of the beds at Memorial Park were rearranged for better truffle vision and some of the large shrubs replaced. GROGAN'S FIELD The attention to the playing field with loam, grass seed, fertilizer and regular cutting again this year as well as the past two years has greatly improved the field despite damage caused by continued football practice and games. R~pairs were made to the bleachers and the sand box shelter. The score board was renovated. Loam, grass seed and fertilizer were applied to the children's playground adjacent to Grogan~s Field under the provisions of Article 25. An additional set of swings and a merry-go-round, although ordered in March, were received too late to be iustalled for the playground season. DRUMMOND FIELD A heavy duty senior' wave stride was installed under Article 24. Loam grass seed and fertilizer were placed on the playing field and on thc embankment at the Milk Street side to repair some winter damage. A football field was laid out and goal posts ~ereeted. AMERICAN LEGION BATHING BEACH The Bathing Beach was placed this year under the Board of Public Works at the A~raual Town Meeting. Considerable repair work was necessary at the bath house and new shutters were made and placed at the end of the season ~to replace loose boards previously nailed over the windows. Considerable sand was hauled in to replace that washed into the pond. Efforts were made to restrict the beach to local residents because of the limited facilities available. The working hours, of the guards were arranged so that two guards were on duty daily from 9:30 A. M. to dark. Sixty-five children out of 186 attending received certificates for completion of the swimming courses conducted by the life guards in cooperation with the Lawrence Red Cross under ~the directioh of Charles F. Barnes, Director of Safety Services. Thc Department of Public ~t~ealth of the Commonwealth examined the beach at our request and stated /hat the sanitary, facilities and the water were of suit- able quality for bathi,ng purposes. A very successful swimming meet under the auspices of the Ameri.can Legion Post 219, was held at the end of the season. Respectfully submitted, WIILIAi~I B.

During the winter many more sand boxes were placed at dangerous intersections. All snow equipment was repaired and painted. The following streets were oiled and sanded: Andover Street. Bacon Avenue. Columbia Road. Chestnut Street, Clark Street, Court Street, Dana Street, Forest Street, Furber Ave., Green Street, Hewitt Ave., Irving Road, Longwood Ay., Lacy Street, Marblehead Street from Massachusetts Ave. to Middle- sex Street, Milk Street, Mill Road, Middlesex Street, Minute Ave., Norman Road, Osgood Street from Carney's Corner to High School, Pleasant Street frem Stevens Corner to Clarendon Street, Perley Road, Prescott Street, -Stevens Street frown North Andovcr Center to Stevens Mill, Pleasant Street from Stevens Corner to Bathing Beach, Rosedal~ Ave., .Rea Street, Salem Street, Thorndike Road, Tavern Road and Water Street. A thirty-inch pipe w~ laid to replace an eld culvert on Milk Street also one of the same size at the back of the Masonic Temple to relieve the surface drain conditions. One hnndred feet of ten-inch pipe was laid on Parker Street, and two catch- basins constructed. These sidewalks were repaired with bituminous concrete q'ype i mix; Middlesex Street (both sides) where needed, Beverly Street from Middlesex to L'nion Street, Marblehead Street from Railroad Crossing to Union Street, Railroad Ave., where needed, and on Elm Street the gutters and sidewalks where needed. Two hundred feet of sidewalk repaired on Stonington Street, Maple. Ave., both sides, where needed. Bixby Ave., from Pleasant Street to Water Street on both sides of the street, Stevens Street from Salem to Great Pond Road and Main Street frmn Davis Street to Chickering Road. Four hundred feet of sidewalk topdresscd on Union Street and the s]deyaik on Church Street from Main to Water was also~ topdressed. Article No, 31- Sidewalks As in previous years money was appropriated at the annnal Town Meeting to contlnne the Sidewalk project. Four- teen new sidewalks were built, bttt there are stone applications which could not be considered because of the lower appro- priation. 77 Article: No. S2, Chapter 90 -- Maintenance The appropriation which was allotted from State and Town funds~w~s used for the resurfacing of Salem.and Sutton Streets. Sutton Street from the Lawrence line to Suttons Corner was covered with twenty-five hundred gallons MC3, honed and sanded and forty-five hundred gallons of MC3 was used on Salem Street. ~ Article No. 33, Chapter 90, G. L. Due to the shortage of Engineers in the State Dept. of Public Works, the rebuilding of Main Street was not started. The money will be spent this year along with the 1949 appro- priation for this work. If a similiar appropriation is made this year it is hoped that Main Street will be rebuilt as far as Lincoln Street. This work will be started in the early Spring. Respectfully submitted, IRA D.

This is the largest sum ever handled by the North A'ndover Tax Collector's office in any one year and is a reflection of the increased tax rate and increased property valuation due to new construction. A comparative analysis of this sum with the sum eollecCed for 1947 reveals the increase to be due to the following com- mitment increases:'Real Estate 15.07%; Personal Property 23.77% and Motor Vehicle Excise 46.68%. In the ea~es of Real Estate and Personal Property commitments, 12:5% of the increase is due to'the tax rate and the balance.is due to increased valuations. The increase of-$8,916.35 in the Motor Vehicle Excise commitment is due somewhat to a tax rate increase, but primarily to the increase in new ear registrations. The commitment fo~ Poll taxes is comparable to that of 1947 but the increase of $1,316.00 in collections results from the repeal of the law granting abatements to members of the armed forces. Due to the fact that all 1947 taxes were collected prior to December 31, 1948 there will be a credit'of 33% % of the premium paid for the 1947 Collector's bond. An examination of records for the past 30 y&ara reveals that in no, previous year during that p~riod: was so high a percentage of the current c.ommitment of taxes, colleeted~ a~ in 1948. The Tax Collector wishes to acknowledge gratefully the cooperation of tho tax payers and the earnest and diligent efforts~ of his offioe deputy without whioh the above record could not have been attained. 1%spectful]y submitted, 17~A~ E.

Thomson, Chairman North Andover, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of North Andover for the period from July 20, 1947 to March 4, 1948, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts. Very truly yours, FRANCIS X. LANG Director of Accounts Mr. Francis X. Lang Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston Sir: In accordance with your instructions, I have made au audit of the books and accounts of the town of North Andover for the period from July 20, 1947, the date of the previous audit, to March 4, 1948, preparatory to a recommitment of the outstanding tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, special assessment, and water lien accotmts to the newly elected tax ¢ollgctor, the following report being submitted thereon: The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verfied, by comparison with the books of the town accountant and the treasurer. The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked. The cash receipts as recorded were checked with the available departmental records and with the treasurer's books, while the payments were compared with the treasurer's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds. The ledger accounts were analyzed, the appropriation aeco~mts were checked with the amounts voted by the town as shown by the town clerk's record of town meetings, the g4 transfers from the reserve fund were compared with ,the am~nts automatized by .~he advisory committee, while other accounts were ~checl~ed with iufo~m~{tion in the various depart- ~en, ts in Which the transgctions originated. A trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of March 4, 1948. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were exam- ined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the departments co]lecfing money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The payments were checked with the se]ectmen's warrants authorizing the dis- bursement of town funds. The cash balance on 1Vfarch 4, 1948 was verified by recon- ciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, by' examination of savings b,.nk books, and by actual count of the cash in the office. The payments of debt and ]nteres~ were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file. The records of tax titles held by the town were examined. The additions to the ~ax title deco,mt were checked with the tax collector's records, the redemptions were compared with the treasurer's cash book, and the tax title deeds were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger and with the records in the Re~stry of Deeds. The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the trust and investment lauds in the custody of the town treasurer and the library ~rus~ees were examined. The income was proved, the withdrawals were verified, and the transfers to the town were compared with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book. The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The accounts outstanding according to the previous examination and all subsequeai commitment lists were audited and compared with the assessors' warn-ants for their collection. The recorded collections were compared with the pay- men~s to the treasurer, the abatements as entered were checkd with the assessors' record of' abatemnts granted, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were reconciled with the records of tax titles held by the own, and the outstanding keconnts were listed, proved, and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger. The commitments of sewer: water, and other departmental aeconn;s were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer, the abate- ments as recorded were checked with the records of the depart- 95 ments authorizing them, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger. Verification of the outstanding aeeomats was ma/lc by mailing notices to a number o.f 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. The town clerk's records of sporting and dog licenses issued were examined and checked, the payments to the Divi- sion of Fisheries and Game being compared with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being verified. The surety bonds furnished by the departmental officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form. The records of licenses and permits issued by the select- men, of receipts by the library, school, and health departments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town, were examined, checked, and reconciled with the treas- urer's and the accountant's books. , In addition to the balance sheet referred to,. there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessment, tax title, departmental, seweL and water accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds. For the cooperation received from all town officials While engaged in making the au~lit, I wish, on behalf of my assis- .rants and for myself, to express appre~ation.

BRODERICK REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS Board of Selectmen North Andover · Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Board of Appeals hereby presents its Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1948. The Board of Appeals held twelve regular meetings during the year, nine of which were Public Hearings. Ten applica- tions for variances were received, and all were disposed o~.

Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. ALTER, Chairman GREGORY MOORADKANIAN, Secretary IRVING C. HOWES HENRY E. LUND JAMES T. POOR JAMES REGAN, Associate Member 105 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD Board of Selectn~en North Andover Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Planning Board of North Andover hereby presents its Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1948. This Board held eighteen meetings during the year, of which nine were regular meetings and nine specially called for consideration and decision by the Board of matters brought to its attention. Four of the. special meetings were public hearings. Four applications for variances from the zo~ng law of the Town were received during the year, three being approved and one denied. The final plans of the layout of School Street were approved by the Planning Board on September 10, 1948. The final plans of the layout of a part of Hemlock Street and all of the layout of Spruce Street were approved by the Planning Board on December 3, 1948. The preliminary plans of the layout of the 'developmgnt, known as "Stanleyville" overlooking Lake Coehichewick were presented to the Board on July 26, 1948. These plans were discussed at each subsequent meeting held by the Board and on November 19, 1948, a special meeting was held jointly with the members of the Board of Health relative to these plans. It was on this latter date that the Planning Board voted unanimously to deny the approval of the preliminary plans of the layqut of "Stanleyville". The reasons on which the Board based its denial of approval of this development were that it created dangers and hazards with respect to Lake Cochichewiek which is the source of supply for drinking water for the inhabitants of the Town of North Andover. The Board expresses its appreciation to the Board of Health of the Town and to the Public Works Department especially for their interest and cooperation in connection with the above matter, and further thanks all the citizens for their support' of the Board in its work throughout the year.

This clinic was held in November by the Essex Sanatorium in co-operation with the local Board of Health, School Depart- ment and Essex County. Health Association who furnished Materials used. Paid for from the Christmas Seal Sales. Fifteen per-cent of the pupils tested were positive re-actors, which is about the percent found in that age group. Positive re-action to the test does not mean that active Tuberculosis is present. It simply indicates that further examination by X-ray should be done. These pupils were X-rayed January 5, 1949 by a technician from Essex Sanatorium. The final report has not reached us to date. A report will be sent to the parents or guardian when completed. We wish to thank Mr. Hayes for his splendid co-operation as well as'all who assisted in the work. In June ~ clinic was held for children entering school for the first time in September. Dr. l~Iolt gave a Physical Exam- ination, which was recorded on the Physical record cards used' by the public schools. All eating and drinking establishments in North Andover were inspected and scored in the early summer by Mr. Rose, Health District Sanitary Officer and the local Board of Health. December 8, 9, 10 and 11th the Board of Health Office served as a location in North Andover for the nation-wide drive by the American Diabetic Association, Inc. to locate persons, who suffer from this disease. Dr. Atkinson had charge of this area, assisted by volunteer workers and public health llurses. 1.08 A food handlers course, sponsored by the License Board and Board of ~ealth will be held, February 1, 2, 3, 1949 in the Court Room of the Town Building. This course will consist of three sessions of one and one half hour~. To be sure that every one will be able to attend each session, it will be given twice each day, 9:30 A. M. and 2:30 P. M. Certificates will bc given ;o food handlers who attend the three sessions. The Board of Health have inspected the two Nursing Homes in North Andover. ]~fuch detail and nnpublished work has been done by the Board of Health to safeguard the health o5 our people in an effort ;o make North Andover among ;he healthies; towns in Massachusetts.

(Adopted by the Board of Selectmen, January 13, 1947) 110 ANNUAL REPORT OF ,THE MOTH AND TREE DEPARTMENT The Insect Pest conditions are greatly imp. roved over last year. This is due to the new method of spraying. All the spraying done on our street trees was done with the new Alto-Mist Blower using DDT. The Elms were sprayed three times for the Scolytus (Elm Bark Beetle), and the Elm Lea~ Beetle. All other trees were sprayed for Gypsy Moth, Tent Caterpillar, Canker Worm and Fall Web Worm. All.these and many other Insect Pests, including the mosquito and fly, can be kept under control with the use of DDT. There is no faster or better way of achieving a large coverage with sub- stantial saving of material and labor, than with this new Atto- Mist Blower. In a report from Dr. ~fcKinzie, director of shade tree disease laboratory at the University of Massachusetts, Am- herst. Massachusetts. on Dutch Elm disease, his record shows that 1000 Elms have been attacked by the disease this year in 94 towns. Essex County has 32 eases in 10 towns. This town has been inspected by two men from the Federal Govern- men~ and they ~ound no signs of the disease. TREE DEPARTMENT With the fear, of the Dntch Elm Disease that has been found in towns and cities close by, this Department has spent much time on the care of our Elms in removing dead trees and keeping them free of dead wood. The Dutch Elm disease is spread by the Elm Bark Beetle, which breed under th6 bark of diseased wood. Thi~ Department removed a number of trees and stnmps this year to make way for building of new homes, sidewalks, ga~rage driveways, etc. 1V~any trees were trimmed, shaped, and dead wood removed. There are 30 ~Iaple Trees.planted in aH parts of the town. Brush was cut on a nnmber o~ narrow country roads and blind corners. This brush cutting must be done each yeak to make motorists vision clear. The brush must be disposed of by piling and burning. In our town forest this yeaL the money was spent on release cutting of about 3000 Red Pines. Respectf-ully submitted, JOHN J.

HON. CIIARLES W. TROMBDY. Chairman DR. FRED C. ATKINSON MRS. TOM F. iNGRAS~ M]~S. HERBERT E. MeQUESTEN MR. JOHN It. HOSKING 1948 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT ~OF. SCHOOLS January 20, 1949 To the School Committee: In compliance with your regulations, I submit the follow- ing report of the year 1948. I This year, as in. 1947--and probably for some years to come the building of schools will claim special mention in the annual report. Two years ago, after receiving the study of Dr. C. E. Reeves, the Annual Town Meeting made the appropriation to begin a program that aimed at nothing less than rebuilding or replacing every one of the schools. The School Building Committee prudently spent several months in letting suggestions crystallize into ideas. Not until December did the architects--Pearson, Alter and James-- complete their drawings and specifications ~or the first unit in the program --the addition to the Thomson School. In January, 1948, the contract was awarded to Mr. Louis H. Mc/Moon. By year's end the Thomson School stands all but finished. To supple- ment the new work done by the School Building Committee, the School Committee has gone to considerable expense in '~he painting and repair of the original structure. Class was held at the Union School for the last time on December 23, and principals and teachers have been transferred to the Thomson: The Annual Report of the School Committee for the year ending Aprll 1, 1882, thus records the opening of the Unio~ School: "At the Annual Town Meeting in March, '81, it was voted to 'instruct the Selectmen and the School Committee to build a School House for the accommodation of the people living in the vicinity of Union Heights, for a primary school. The two boards of officers met together and selected a site for a building, which was erected at a cost of $2~522.35. The building is of two stories. The upper portion is not yet finished~ but will probably .be needed for a school room within a short ti~ae. The lower room was opened for a school for the Fall Term. It has been well filled with scholars, who, whenever visited, have always appeared remarkably orderly and industrious. Primary scholars living west of Railroad Street attend this School." The "primary scholars living west of Ra[lroa(1 Street" numbered thirty-seven. Two of them are mentioned by name: /da Trembly and John Perry had each a perfect record in 126 attenc~ance that winter. And Miss Jennie I. Kershaw "kept school"--at an annual salary of $308. Within a year the second room was opened, the teachers being Miss Jessie F. Greene and ~/Iiss Carrie W. Nee&ham. In 1903 Superin..teudent Chickering reported three rooms comprising eight grades, the principal being Mr. Jospeh H. Hartley, and the assistants Miss Carrie M. Carleton and Miss Helen E. Roache. By then the pupils numbered 145. A year later the fourth room was opened, and Miss Clara E. Bryer employed to teach it. Plans for the next unit in the program were made without delay. In June the contract for the addition to the Bradstreet School was also awarded to lYIr. McAloon. At present, it is rash to attempt an exact forecast of the time by which .a building should be finished. Beyond any doubt, however, all the pupils in the Bradstreet District will be housed in one building by September, 1949. Very few. towns have the resources to build schools out of current income. The appropriations made by the Annual Town ~Ieeting in 1947 sufficed for the addition to the Thomson School. For the~Bradst~.eet addition and the building to replace the two oldest elementary schools--the Merrimack and the Center--the Annual Town Meeting in 1948 authorized a loan of three hundred thousand dollars. North Andover is not alone in building schools at this time; towns everywhere find them- selves compelled to provide school houses for the children born in unprecedented numbers since 1941. During the next five years the WALL STREET JOURNAL expects school construction to lead all kinds of construction in dollars in- vested. North Andover has, therefore, been a brave pioneer. And fortune favors the brave. To meet the emergency, the Massachusetts School Building Assistance Commission will distribute to every community building schools considerable aid deter~ined by a formula that uses the ratio between the total valuation of the State and the equalized local valuation. North Andover is likely to receive more than a third of the total cost of the school building program. The Town, one should remember, is required to make its own plans and finan- cial arrangements. These must be--they have already been-- submitted to the School Building Assistance Commission. Over a period of years the State wilI fulfill its obligation to reim- burse the Town. The first payment to North Andover will be made in 1949. The Thomson School has already been paid-for, and so reimbursement will be completed in five annual pay- merits--that is, by the end of 1953. The Bradstreet and sub- sequent units in the program must be financed by borrowing, and reimbursement will be so arranged that the annual pay- ments will terminate only with the final payment on the school building loan. 127 li Massachusetts ia now carrying anxiety over the financial problems of its cities and towns almost to the point of con- fusion. Besides School Building Assistance, the Common- wealth, which has loug contributed two hundred dollars per teacher annual]y, ~vi]l, iu 1949, provide an increased contribu- tion toward th~ operating expenses of the schools. The number of children in the Town between seven and sixteen years of age determines the amount. North Andover will probably receive $26,440. III Teaching depends upon the skill, devotion, and experience of the teacher, and so changes are most effectively made when teachers have some share iu formulating policies that affect their classrooms. In the elementary schools our teachers are about to undertake two projects: the critical study of the report card and the review 'of the curriculum in history and geography--the "social studies." The rqport card now iu use is analytic; it conveys a great deal of information in little space. It is convenient to handle. Before another printing, however, many questions should be answered. Is thc type too small? Is the card readily under- stood by parents? How efficient has it been for motivation? Does it succeed in the capital task of keeping the lines of communie,~tion open between home and school? S~ould Pro- fessor Warren of Boston University consent--as he may---to give his course on school-and-home relations in North Andover, the a}tvantage to the committee of tea'ehers would, obviously, be great. World War II, not quite concluded yet, has wrought havoc with political geography, and the ever expanding power of a nation dedicated to communism has at least altered the em- phasis in history. We citizens of this democratic repnblie need to understand our duties with dynamic clearness. I-Ienee the revi'ew of the "social studies." An immediate task of the teachers' committee will be to evaluate"the new textbooks and to select one or .more of them for adoption. In the spring Miss Olive Butler, supervisor of drawing, presented a "workshop" in art education, eondneted by Miss Wilma Goer. For three afternoons almost all the teachers in the elementary schools and a few from high school met in the cafeteria at Johnson, which is also Mis~ Butler's classroom, and renewed or extended their acquaintance with new ma- terials and techniques by personal use. IV The annual contest for the Mclntosh Prizes in P~{blie Speaking continues to elicit wholesome interest. The Parent- Teachers' Association provides the competing students with 128 thc incentive of an audience of friendly adults. The winnera were: First Prize Joan l%eilly, '49 ~ Second Prize Marilyn Caliri, ~50 Thir& Prize Nancy Ballantyne, '48 V The painting of 'the interior' of Johnson I/igh School, carried on at the rate of a floor per year, was concluded last summer, at a cost of $1,154,' when the principal's office and the classrooms adjoining it were done. The exterior wood,york should be painteff.in 1949. The original Thomson building, as noted above, was redecorated in harmony with the addi- tion, linoleum laid in the corridors, and the roof over the boiler room replaced, at a cost of $1,296. The coping at the Bradstreet imposed an e.xpense of 9515. A duplicating machine was bought for the Thomson School (the cost being $~79)--all the schools have this equipment now --and a motion-picture projector for the Bradstreet ($540). The School Commi~ee also followed the annual policy of replacing typewriters at Johnsvn ($672.50). VI The changes in personnel xvere unusually numerous ~ three high-school teachers, two elementary-school principals, and four elementary-school teachers, the supervisor of music, and the teacher of the remedial room, the special teacher of domestic arts in the elementary school, and the school nurse. Mrs. Zetta Dnnn Myatt, who had been principal of thc Thom- son School since it opened, chose last June to retire. She controlled her school With great tact and has been a dedicated teacher. Pupils and colleagues alike profoundly regret her retirement. Miss Regina Donovan, principal of the Center School, resigned to accept a position as teacher in the Haverhill Public SchoOls. Miss Donovan's skill in thc classroom deserves to be called extraordinary. Marriage claimed fo[tn: Miss Constance Fitzgerald, Miss~ Betty ,lames, Miss Catherine Mclunes, and Miss Virginia Gile. Three are now teaching in Haverhill: Miss Regina and 5J[iss Evangeline Donovan, and Miss Virginia Bascom. Miss Edith Pierce is teaching in Weston, Misg Christina. Korney in Lawrence, Miss Veronica Fitzg'erald in l~lalden, and Miss Marie Murphy in Cranston, Rhode ts]and. Miss Edna Dayson, our invaluable scho91 mirse, went to Florida. Miss Mary ttennessy, principal of the Union School, has succeeded Mrs. Myatt as principal of the Thomson School The Bewcomers are: YIig-h School Miss Ruth Mooradkanign, B.A. Boston University ' Miss Henrietta Holz, B.S.

Con~rvato~ Villanova Fr~ingh~ ~w. ~n. ~os., School of Nu~ng VII The teachers of North Andover have made 1948 a good year in the schools. All have been loyal to their .profeSsional obSgatlons. They perhaps deserve special mention who have taught at the Thomson and Bradstreet Schools, for they have carried on, without, a word of self-pity, amid the turmoil of building. To thc members of the School Committee I am personally grateful, and I confidently believe that I speak also for parents and teaelxers in thanking them for their frank counsel, in- telligent support, and mmelfish interest in boys. and girls. RespeCtfully submitted, FEANCIg J. 0'BRIEN Superintendentof Schools !30 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL January 3, 1949 To the Superintendent of Schools: At this time I submit to you my seventeenth annual report for Johnson High School. The fo]lowing table indic utes the enrollment figures, by grades, as of October 1, during ~he last five-year period: 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 Post Graduates 0 I 8 2 0 Seniors 64 76 66 74 84 Juniors 86 65 81 94 78 Sophomores 76 87 103 81 82 Freshmen 99 115 78 81 89 325 334 336 332 . 333 Diplomas were granted to seventy-five graduates last June. As of November l, 1948, four of these graduates were in the Armed Forces of the United States, eight were attending Business Schools, four girls were trab~ing for Nursing, seven- teeu were enrolled in Colleges, three were attending Prepara- tory Schools, four were listed as "At I-~ome" and thirty-five were employed. The colleges which pupils were attending included Simmmas, Emmanuel, Boston College, Lowell Teach- ers', Villanova, Gordon Theological, Wheaton, and Bridge- water Teachers'. At the graduation exercises o~ last June it was possible to award a larger number of scholarships than on any previous occasion. The Helen S. ~arve]l Scholarship awarded annually by it~e North A~dover Woman's ~Clab was received by Ethel Lan~hert. The North Andover P.T.A. Scholarship went to ~.~arie Broderiek. The V.F.W. and Auxiliary Commercial S(,ho!arship was received by Barbara Marshall. A scholarship at Wheato~ College was awarded to Nancy Ballantyne. The .hllethodist Youth Fellowship award went to Shirley Wilcox.. ~ar~ Claire Hickey received the Greater Lawrence College Club Scholarship. A partial scholarship was received by Marie Broderick from Massachusetts General Hospital, and Louise' Consoli and Ruth Turner each received scholarship assistance through awards made by thc Holy Name Society of the North Andover St. Michael's Parish. It is indeed grat- ifying to know that there are so many groups and organiza. tions interested in assisting worthy students in their attempts to secure further education. In maay cases, the assistanc~ 131 received means the difference between a pupil being able to go to college and not being able to do so. Three teachers directly connected with our staff resigned ' during the year. ~Iiss Constance Fitzgerald resigned in order to be married. She is now Mrs. Francis Dr~scoll. MiSs Virginia Bascom accepted a position at greater salary in Haverhill, and ~Iiss Edith Pierce, who had been on our staff for seven- teen years, resigned to accept a more lucrative position in Weston. These vacancies have been filled' with three young people from our local community, two of whom formerly attended this school. Mrs. Driscoll's classes have been taken over by Miss Henrietta Holz, a recent graduate of Boston University, and a Physical Education major. The classes for- merly taught by Miss Bascom are now under the direction of Mr. Finneran, a recent graduate of Harvard. The classes of Miss Pierce, as ;;'ell as the direction of Student Publications, have.been assumed by Miss Ruth 5{ooradkanian, ;;'ho recently graduated from Boston University. In addition to the changes mentioned above, of teachers who were directly connected with thc high school, we find that we now have contacts with new personnel in 'the school cafeteria and in the music field, as well as in our healtl~ work. Miss Marie Murphy a(:cepted a position of greater reaponsibility in the Cranston, R. I., schools. The cafeteria operation is now under' th,.~ direction of Miss Jennie Marino. ~5~i~,s Bety James is nov: Mrs. John D. Campbell. Her duties in ~usic have been assumed by Mr. Clarence 3'losher. Miss Edna Dayson, our sch6ol nurse, resigned and moved to another state. The health pro,ram is now under the supervision of glrs. Katherine Austin. 1{ would appear that these new teachers have adapted themselves very readily to our program. As time goes on we note greater nsc of the library and its facilities. This year marks the second year durin~z which the library has been nnder the supervision of a part-time librarian. I believe that this has been a move in the right direction and feel that over a period of years the library eau become an even more important part of our educational pro- gram. Within the year, the school has been fortunate in having a donation of many.books by Mr. Robert Waimvright, a former student of this school and a recent graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis. We wish to express our sincere thanks to :Mr. Wainwright for this splendid donation. ,, /~or a brief period last year our school band was ~evital- ized, with the assistance of the local. Parent-Teacher Associa- tion. However, certain unforeseen obstacles arose which made it necessary to abandon this project. At the present time, we have no school band. The insurance program which was initiatekt a year ago has been continued. Under this program, within certain limits, 132 medical bills f~or injuries acquired m gym classes, or school athletic contests, are paid by the insurance company. From all observations this program seems so be working in a highly satisfactory manner, and it is my belief that it should be established on s permanent basis. Recently our Commercial Department has been improved through the addition of a new mimeograph machine and a new mimeoscope. These pieces of equipment replace units which have been in service for a period of more than twenty- five years. Because so many different types of office machines are now used in inddstrial plants, it is necessary that high school pupils interested in the commercial field be offered as ~nuch expemence as'possible on the Wpcs of machines most frequently found in modern business offices. For a small school we have Deen particularly fortnnate in being able to give our students a variety of training on many of the office machines most frequently found in indus;ry. About a year ago our Student Council initiated an activ- ities program ;o be conducted during the recess period. Through the efforts of the conncil, a sufficien%sum o~f money was raised so that eqmpment for ping-pong and badminton, and popular records for dancing, could be purchased. Under the supervm~on of the council it is now possible for pupils to take par; in any of these activities during the recess pbriod. We feel that this program is of value because it provides a recreational outlet for all pupils, and a; the same time offers to those upper-class pupils who are in charge of thc program, the opportunity ;o assume certain responsibilities. tt appears that for several years our enrollment is grad- ually to increase. If this increase materializes, it will be neces- sary in increase the number of teachers on our staff. I would suggest that consideration bc g~ven to this matter and that in the not too distant future, an additional teacher be engaged in the fields of Euglish and Social Studies. since these are the two areas which ;vill show the greatest concentration of pupils in the period ahead. In closing this report may I express my sincere thanks for the splendid cooperation which has been displayed through- out the year by all connected with the education of our high school youth. l~espeetfutly submitted, ^LVAH O.

The test is composed of three paris: 1. Visual Acuity or Clearness of Vision: Part I is planned to sort out cases who cs.nnot see at s distance. 2. Functional-Disturbance or Far-Sightedness: Part II is intended to detect those who pass thc visual acuity test, but nevertheless have an error that is latent and may require correction. 3. Muscle Coordination: Part III is designed to indicate the cases in which there is difficulty in using both eyes together.

Be that as it may, we set forth or express that principle as follows. That it was yom' x~ish and desire that there be pro- videcl for the children of North Andover, as promptly as possible, proper and adequate modern educational facilities; and that these facilities should reflect, for both elementary and high school pupils, a comprehensive and long-term pro- gram, one which would be in'the best interest of the town as a whole, and with due regard, not only for the present, but also for the probable future, dcvelo~oment of the Town. Your Committee has conscientiously endeavored to adhere to that policy or principle in all of its deliberations and decisions. For the present, it can be reported that the addition to the Thomson School is now complete. The addition to the Bradstreet School is about two-thirds complete and will be ready for occupancy by the start of the 1949 spring term. In Augqmt, 1948, thc firm of Adden, Parker, Clinch & Crimp, of Boston, was selected for the architectural work in connection with the new eight-room school to serve the Merri- mack-Center districts. Plans for this school are nearing com- pletion, and it is hoped that the construction contrac~ can be let in March or April, 1949. It might perhaps be added thc* the site for this school prcsented, to your Committee, the most difficult problem with which it has been faced to date. It was recognized that a school site is a very personal and very vital matter to all of us. 'Thc final decision of the Committee, confirming the recommendation of the Town's consultant, I)r. Reeves, and in keeping with the announcement made upon the occasion of the Town Meeting in March of 1948, was in favor.of the site directly across Main Street from the present High School. That site reflects thc maximum in serviceability, accessibility, and economy for the school population and areas to be served by it. It is worthy of note, and it should be increasingly evident to all, that the rapid smd continuing residential d~velopment in that area bounded roughly by Massachusetts Avenue, Chickering Road, Main Street, and Middlesex Street is definitely substantiating the judgment of your Committee in its selection of. the Main Street-I{igh School site. 155 For the future, your Committee is already giving thought and study to.the problem of a new high school. It is too to present an official report, but it seemed in order to acquaint you with the fact that your Committee is not overlooking its fixture d~lties and obligations in this regard. The financial problem, as in the case of new school con- struction, not only here but everywhere, is a very difficult one. This has been particularly true over the past years and in the face of constantly rising building construction costs. It has, however, been your good fortune, and the good fortune of the School Building Committee, that at the last session of the Massachusetts Legislature, a law was passed granting state aid, and very substantial aid, to communities embarking on a school-building program. The amount of this state aid, in the ease o~ North Andover, will run somewhere between 30% and 35ffc of actual construction cost, including archi- tects' fees, equipment, and-facilities. This very substantial subsidy has enabled your Committee to extend consideration to a somewhat higher type of construction, to certain educa- tional refinements, and to the installation of new equipment which would otherwise have been inadvisable or inexpedient. The financial aspect of the school building program, as far as we have gone, is set forth in thc fo]lowing gable. This shows the original estimates of costs, the actual or present costs, taking into account the amount of state aid to be received, and the ultimate net cost to the Town, with the very substantial savlngzto the Town of at least $48,000 as against even the initial and much under-estimated costs. TABLE Actual or Saving Present Net Cost Ag'a/n st Estim,~ed State Aid T~ Original ©rigi~al School Cost ~0 % to 35 % Town Esti~Tnate Estimates Thomson $135,000 $42,000 $93,000 $120,000 $27,000 Bradstreet 1,50,000 46,000 104,000 125,000 21,000 Merrirna'ck~Center 360,000 115,000 245,000 275,000 30,000 $645~000 $203,000~$442,000 $5'20,000 $78,000 Your attention is called to'the fact that the state aid is paid in two ways: (1) On cash payments by the Town the subsidy is payable in annual installments over a five-year period. For this portion of our commitments, the Town would get back from the State approximately $12,600 per year for the next five years, or a total of about $63,000. (2) On school bond issues the 'subsidy is passable in annual instalhnents over the period for which the bonds are issued in our case, 12 years. For this portion of our commitments, on the basis of a~ total issue of $380,000; the Town would get back from the State approxi,nately $115,000, at the rate of $9,600 per year for the next 12 years. The sum of these payments would he somewhat less than the annual charges on the School Building Loans, affecting the tax rate to the extent of only about $2.50 until 1954, and to the extent of about $3.50 thereafter. It is quite ~pparent at this time that an increase in the presently authorized bond issue will be necessary; the amount of this increase, about $80,000, e(}min~ back to the Town over the next 5 to 12 years as indicated in the preceding paragraph. TS take advantage of state aid, the money must first be raised; but in so doing, yon are securing a better school, better eon- stru'ction and facilities, at a cost well below, the earlier cost estimate, exclusive of probable savings in operating cost. In conclusion, it is only fair to say that the Town and this Committee should feel themselves very fortunate as to the prosecution and timing of the School Building Program. Relying on your own resources alone, you instructed your School Building Committee to provide your children with adequate schools. The considerable burden will be made much lighter by the state aid which has been madg available to us. It is ~o be hoped that the Town will have both the will and the courage to carry on. Yom' Committee is prepared to carry out your wishes and .instructions for the future, with the same degree of conscientious sincerely which we have endeavored to display with respec; to your wishes and instructions in the past.

COFFIN Selectmen o£ North Andover 205 FINAL REPORT OF BY-LAW COMMITTEE North Andover, Massachusetts, February 14, 1949. Pursuant To the vote of the Town upon Article 14 of the 1947 Annual Town Meeting Warrant, the Moderator, in the spring of that year, appointed Messrs. John F. Altcr, William B. Bartlett, Jr.. John V. I)onovan, Arnold 1t. Salisbury and Arthur A. Thomson as a commi~ee "to study the by-laws of the town with a view to suggesting amendments thereto and preparing a revision thereof, and to make a report at the nex~ annual town meeting." At its first meeting the committee organized by electing Attorney Salisbury to act as its chair- man, and Mr. Donovan as its clerk. During the year 1947, tlte committee members procured and studied the by-laws of all of the towns in the common- wealth, comparing them against the North Andover by-laws as they now exist. A study was also made of the "model" by-laws for town~ suggested by the Massachusetts Federation of Taxpayers Associations. Several meetings were held with town officials, a~ll of whom were ast~ed for their comments on the town by-laws as now existing, and for suggestions relative to ,any kevision of them. A report of progress was made at the 1948 Annua! Town Meeting, which voted to continue the committee in existence for another year. During the year 1948, the committee held a number of meetings, including one to which all interested citizens were expressly invited for the pnrposc of offering suggestions and criticisms. A tentative draft of a 9rol~osed revisio~ was pre- pared and studied by the eomrnittee, and again town officials whose offices or departments might be in any way affected were consulted. Thereafter a final redraft was made and decided upon by the committee, whleh has this day voted to submit it to the Town as a part of this report. The attention of the Town is particularly called to Articles Three, Four, Five and Six of the proposed "Revised By-Laws of the Town of North Andover", in which major changes have been suggested. Articles Eight, Nine and Ten, being respec- tively the Billboard, Zoning and Building By-Laws, have been less extensively changed, because of the fact that each of these 'has been added to the town by-laws in recent years, and, presumably, after considerable thought and study by the committees in charge. Such changes as have been suggested in the Zoning By-Law were made only after consultation with . 206 the Chairmen of the Board of Appeals and the Planning Board, and the proposed revision of the Building By-Law has been eare£ully studied by Mr. John W. Costello, Chairman o5 the committee which originally drafted it in 1942. The committee is most gratefui to the several town offi- · cers, to Mr. Costello, and to the members o4' the Advisory Board, all of whom showed great iaterest in the proposed revision, and without whose assistance final recommendations eouid not have been made. The committee has also prel~ared, and has included here- with. as appendices to the proposed revision, a Table of Dis- positions of existing by-la~vs and a List of Legislative Enact- merits affecting the town.
