Adjourned Town Meeting March 28, 1942 The meeting was called to order at 1.30 o'clock by Judge C. J. Mahoney, Moderator for the Town. The first business to be considered was the manner in which votes might be determined. It was moved and seconded that hand votes be used on articles and items to be reconsidered, an amendment to this motion that be by ballot was lost by a vote of 112 in favor to 145 against. On show of hands 152 voted in favor and 48 were opposed. Mr. John W. Costello, acting Chairman of the Advisory Board then addressed the meeting as follows :-- ANNUAL REPORT 13 Mr. Moderator :- We are doing this for the information o£ the meeting. If it is the sense of this meeting that all town employees be given a raise and that moans all of them--we will sub- mit figures covering that plan. On the other hand, if it is the sense of the meeting that we should try to follow exactly the wording of the motion to adjourn, and thus confine raises to full-time workers, and not include elected officials and part-time workers, which is not as fair to all--we can also present such figures. In both cases, these figures are based on a raise starting about April 1, and at a rate of not more than $150.00 per year for any employee. To place the matter before the meeting I offer the fol- lowing motion: That Article 15 and Article 5 be reconsidered. It shou]fl be pointed out that further progress in voting raises, and even the presentation of figures furnished to us by the de- partment heads, depend upon this motion being voted favor- ably. The motion as presented was voted substantially in the affirmative. Mr. Costello proceeded as follows: It now becomes necessary to find out whether it is the sense of the meeting that all town employees shall share in the raise, therefore I offer the following motion: That all town employees, including elected officials and part-time workers, shall share in the increase.

This is in the form o£ a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts. Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL, TNW :CAH Director of Accounts Mr. Theodore N. Waddell Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston Sir: As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of North Andover for the period from September 2, 1941, the date of the previous audit, to September 9, 1942, and submit the following report thereon: The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or di.sbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and verified by comparison with the books and records of the town treasurer and the town auditor. The books and accounts in the office of the town auditor were examined and .checked. The ledger accounts were analyzed, the receipts, as recorded, being compared with the treasurer's cash book and the payments being checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds. The appropriations and loans authorized, as re- 36 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. corded on the ledger, were checked with the town clerk's records of financial votes passed in town meeting. A trial balance was taken off, proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town as of September 9, 1942, was prepared and is appended to this report. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and verified. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the treasury warrants. The cash balance on September .9, 1942, was verified by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit and by examination of the savings hank hooks. The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were proved with the amounts falling due and were checked with the cancelled securities and coupons on file. The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the several trust fund's in the custody of the town treasurer and the treasurer of the library trustees were examined. The. income was proved, the disbursements were cerified, and the balances were reconciled with the town auditor's ledger. The balance of the Sarah Parker Fund in custody of the trustees was verified at the bank of deposit. The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The tax titles and tax were verified, and the balances were reconciled with the town auditor's ledger and with the records in the Registry of Deeds. The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were examined and verified. The tax accounts outstanding, accord- ing to the previous examination, and all subsequent commit- ment.s were audited and compared with the assessors' war- rants for their collection. The recorded collections were com- pared with the payments to the treasurer, the. abatements, as entered, were checked with the assessors' records of abate- ments granted, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were reconciled with the records of tax titles held by the town, and the outstanding taxes were listed and proved with the town auditor's ledger. The departmental and water accounts committed for collection were examined and verified. The commitments were proved, the recorded collections were compared with. the payments to the treasurer, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the town auditor's ledger. ANNUAL REPORT 37 The outstanding tax, tax title, departmental, and water accounts were further 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 outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct. The financial records of the town clerk were examined and verified. The collections on account of dog and sporting licenses were verified and proved with the payments to the county and State. In additio.n to the departments and accounts mentioned, the books and accounts of the several other departments col- lecting money for the town were examined. The recorded col- lections were checked with the payments to the treasurer, and the cash balance were verified by actual count of the cash on hand. The surety bonds of the town officials required by law to furnish such surety were examined and found to be in proper form. Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the cash of the town treasurer, tax collector, and collector of waker and .sewer charges, summaries of the tax, tax title, tax possession, and departmental accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transactions of the several trust funds. For the co-operation received from the several town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.

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- ment work ceases.

No more than one meter may be installed on any service unless the owner agrees to have each additional meier (for the purpose of billing) considered as a separate service. 3. All persons using water must furnish internal 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 Town will not be liable for any damage resulting from failure to do so. Any expense 46 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. incurred in clearing services must be borne by the con- sumer.

Nine six-inch gate valves were placed. The water main system now consists of fifty-six and six hundredth's miles of main pipe, two twelve- inch check valves, one fourteenqnch gate, twelve twelve. inch gates, thirteen ten-inch gates, sixty-three eight-inch gates, five hundred and twenty-five six-inch gate valves and three hundred and thirty-four public fire hydrants. The new water main extensions were as follows: Wal- nut Street, north from Massachusetts Avenue, three hundred feet of 'six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve; Furber Ave- hue £rom Wentworth Avenue to Moody 'Street, four hundred and five feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve. The hydrant at 100 Great Pond Road was moved back five feet. The hydrant at 190 Osgood Street was moved back six feet and a gate valve placed on the hydrant branch. The hydrant on Greene Street at Parker Street was moved from thecenter of the intersection thirty-eight feet to the curb line and a gate valve placed on the hydrant branch. Six-inch gate valves were placed on the following hydrant branches: 345 Middle- sex Street, Andover Street at Osgood Street, Osgood Street at Main Street, 271 Stevens Street and Second Street at Rail- road Avenue. 54 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 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 223453 There were installed during the year 1942 thirteen new services, which is the smallest number since 1934, and was caused by the drastic curtailment of new house construction by the War Production Board. Forty-five old services were either wholly or partially renewed. Twenty-nine new meters were installed and one hundred and seventy-three o]d meters, including seventeen frozen meters, were inspected and re- paired by the usual factory methods. Thirty meters frozen in the late December cold period could not be repaired by the year end due to the pressure of other necessary work. Four discontinued services were dug up and shut-off at the main, making a total of one hundred and thirty-nine services removed from danger of leaking. There were forty-eight service leaks, five joint leaks, one split pipe and four hydrants damaged by automobiles. Hydrants were inspected and much necessary work was done on the hydrants installed forty years ago. Vitrified clay pipe drains to lower elevations were placed at hydrants at 254 Greene Street, 310 Greene Street and 315 South Bradford Street where ground conditions had made the hydrant drainage unsatisfactory. Gate valves were inspected twice in accordance with the recommendations of the State Water Supply Coordinator in order to insure speedy location and operation of gate valves in emergencies. Under Article 16 of the warrant, the work of replacing the water services to the property lines, placing gate valves on the hydrant branches, repairing gate valves and valve boxes and replacing the sewer manhole frames and covers and rebuildng some of the manholes on Main Street from Sutton Street to the Town Office Building in connection with the rebuilding of that part of Main Street was completed with an unexpended balance of $409.62 of the amount appro- priated, resulting from the shorter length of road rebuilt. The reservoir embankments and grounds were mown and the pine trees trimmed to a heigl~t of 'six feet. A new concrete floor was placed in the shop and new outside doors were placed on the boiler room at the Pumping Station. The 2.5 mgd. Laidlow, Dunn, Gordon Pump and piping was painted with Inertol waterprOOf paint to overcome the cor- rosion. Windows, doors, and wood trim at the Pumping Sta- tion were painted. Several rooms in the engineer's house were redecorated. One hundred and eighteen boat registra- ANNUAL REPORT 55 tion plates were issued and two hundred and seventy-three residents were granted permits to boat and fish on Lake Cvchichewick. Monthly bacterial examinations of the water have been made by the Department 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 Public Health. The lowest elevation of water on Lake Cochichewick in 1942 was 106.29 feet above mean sea level, within 4.4 inches of the record low of 1941. The ]ow water again caused some diflicuIty in pumping operations. The new 105 cubic foot, Ingersoll-Rand Compressor, put- chased during the year under Article 18 of the warrant was mounted on a 1940 Chevrolet chassis, equipped with tool boxes, fenders, etc. The outfit has already proved/ts value in many ways. The first complete fire flow tests since 1917 were made in thirty-seven locations in the town during November by engineers from the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association and the following recommendations were made for improving the water supply system: "We have taken into consideration the reliability of the system as affected by the single force main, the arterial feed from the reservoir and the possible interruption of service in the more thickly built- up section of the town, as well as the need of ultimately pro- viding better protection in most of the outlying sections."

Sewer Department The North Andover Sewerage System is designed to flow in three divisions: The East Side Drainage Area with its trunk sewer following Ceehichewick Brook from Lake Cochichewick to the Merrimack River; the ~West Side Drain- age Area with its trunk sewer on Railroad Avenue, Greene Street, and along the Shawsheen Rive{ to the Merrimack River; the Central Drainage Area bounded _by Railroad Ave- nue, Middlesex and Water Streets, with trunk sewers in Rail- road Avenue, Water Street, and Main Street, to the Merri- mack River. There are nineteen and eighty-two hundredths miles of sewer in the North Andover sewerage system with about four hundred and eighty-four manholes. There are twelve hundred and ten particular sewers connected with the main sewers. The main sewers are listed according to size as follows: SIZE OF Sl~WERS (INCHES) 24 20 18 15 12 10 8 6 LENGTH OF SEWERS (FEET) 5926 822 8450 3313 3214 12797 21688 47663 The' following main sewers were constructed in 1942: Trinity Court from Ma~ssachusetts Avenue, one hundred and fifty feet of six-inch pipe and one manhole; Massachusetts Avenue, from the previous terminus to Walnut Street, seven hundred and one feet of ten-inch pipe and three manholes; Beech Street, from Massachusetts Avenue, four hundred and fifty-two feet of eight-inch pipe and two manholes; Wal- nut Street, from Massachusetts Avenue five hundred and thirteen feet of eight-inch pipe and three manholes. Twenty-one connections, including three renewals, total- ing one thousand two hundred and twenty-three feet, were laid between buildings and the main 'sewers. Forty-four par- ticular sewers, most of them blocked by roots, were cleared. The main sewers were flushed and cleared in the spring as usual. A flexible sewer-rod outfit purchased during the year made possible a thorough clearing of several main sewers partially blocked with roots which the existing equipment could not adequately take care of. The following recommendation is 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 East Side Trunk Sewer to be extended from Stevens Street at Harkaway Road in order to take care of the Bath- ing Beach and the Center. ANNUAL REPORT 57 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 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 sepa- rate 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 purposes is a violation of the rules relating to their u'se, and the continued use of the sewers for this purpose will eventu- ally 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 sew- erage 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 DEPARTMENT The Center Common, Training Grounds, Memorial Park, Historical Society Plot and the Triangles have been maintained as usual. The feeding and special attention to the elm trees on the Common in 1940, 1941, and again this year, has brought the trees into excellent condition after the severe attack by the elm tree beetle. The trees on Memorial lark were also fed with Bartlett's Tree food. The interest and co-operation of the North Andover Improvement Society, the Garden Club and many individuals in the parks and triangles is acknowledged. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM B. DUFFY, Superintendent. 58 TOWN OF NORTH AND0¥ER, MASS.

ANNUAL REPORT OF NORTH ANDOVER SCHOOL COMMITTEE To the Citizens of North Andover: At a meeting held Janury 13, 1942, it was voted to accept the report of the Superintendent of Schools and to adopt i,t as the annual report of the School Committee. LOUIS H. McALOON, Chaiman, FREDERICK C. ATKINSON, M.D., CLINTON W. CARVELL. ANNUAL REPORT 65 1942 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS January 13, 1943 To the Members of the School Committee: I herewith present my sixteenth annual report..

Loss of time (16 days). 2. Loss of interest by pupils. 3. Pupils restless and unable to concentrate. The registration and rationing services rendered by the teachers are a part of the nation's total wartime effort, but the substantial extent to which extensive closing of 'schools reduces the scholastic progress of the pupils must be kept in mind. College Entrance Requirements Relaxed Most colleges are asking high school seniors of good standing to enter college in the middle of their senior year. Of course, these pupils .do not meet the traditional college entrance requirements. Chicago University will accept cer- tain mid-year ~hlgh school sophomores. 66 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. High school boys are enlisting in military service before graduation, and will enter college after the war. The colleges must adjust their entrance requirement so as to receive these young men and women of high mental ability, regardless of what high school courses they have taken or completed. What Fits for Life Will Fit for College In 1932 about 300 colleges and universities agreed to con- sider for acceptance from 1936 to 1940 about 3600 recom- mended graduates of 30 selected secondary schools (of which 10 were public high schools) without regard to courses they had taken. The 1650 high school graduates who had not taken all of the subjects usually regarded as college preparatory subjects did slightly better in college than those others of equal men- tal ability who met the traditional college entrance require- ments. Colleges Use Aptitude and Reading Tests Because of the above study and the recent college en- trance of many before graduation from high school, there is a rapidly growing tendency for colleges to choose their students on the basis of scores made in mental or aptitude tests, perhaps supplemented by tests in ability to read under- standingly. This makes high school boys and girls, who are uncer- tain as to whether they will go to college, free to take courses that would best fit them for citizenship if they did not go to college. North Andover pupils become accustomed to aptitude and reading tests because they are given in the schools here nearly every year. Diplomas for Enlistees and College Entrants According to recent votes of the School Committee, diplomas will be given at graduation time to the following two groups of 1943 seniors who may leave school during the year: 1. Seniors who entered and are succeeding in col- lege. 2. Seniors in good standing who enlist in military service. School Band and Baton Corps Mr. Joseph B. Murray, Music Supervisor, has developed a school band of 47 members, that has already played in pub- lic several times. A baton-bugle-drum corps has been devel- oped by Raymond Davis of Lynn who has come here Tues- ANNUAL REPORT 67 days for that purpose. During this period of development, band rehearsals and baton lessons have been held during school hours. It is planned later to have these held after schools as an extra-curricular activity. Individual and group instruction in music is being given by the following instructors to 60 pupils, the pupils bearing the cost: Reed Instruments, Pat C'ardillo of the Boston Symphony Orchestra; Brass Instrumen~ts, Herber~ Rowell of Haver- hill; Violin, Miss Marya Roginski of Peabody; Baton Twirl- ing in the high school, Miss Lois Gingras of Lawrence. Staff Trained in Air Raid Protection On Friday and Saturday, February 13 and 14, an 18-hour course was provided for all principals, supervisors, teachers and janitors. One janitor and 38 teachers passed the final test for air raid wardens. Two teachers were unable to take the course, and the ten other teachers took an equivalent course elsewhere. Most of these have, also, taken a course in first aid. ~chools Prepared for Blackout Of the $651.00 appropriated for the purpose, $464.51 has been spent preparing the schools for air raids. Press board panels have been provided for the necessary windows, both for blackout purpose and to guard against flying glass from windows shattered by high explosive bombs. Pupils Remain at School During Raids If the air raid alert signal (yellow light) is received within 30 minutes of the normal end of the session, the pupils will be sent home. If danger signal (blue light) is received during the session, the pupils will be taken to refuge rooms in the school. The three chief reasons for keeping the pupil's in the schools after the danger signal is received are: 1. If the pupil went home, the parents might not be there. 2. Fast moving service vehicles might make the home trip hazardous. 3. Many live so far away that they would fail to reach home before the. actual raid occurred. Schools Organized for Air Raid Protection Each school has an effective organization of its staff and pupils to serve in .the school should a raid occur. Practice drills are held from time to time. 68 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. Physical Training Planned The School CVmmittee plans to engage a woman instruc- tot of physical education in February, 1943. She. will give physical training to the high school girls and George F. Lee will give it to the boys. Wartime education absolutely re- quires a physical training program in the high school for practically all pupils. On the average, throughout each school year only one girl out of ten, and one boy out of four, have been members of the baseball, basket ball, or football squads. Wartime Courses A course in pre-flight aeronautics was given to 18 high school boys and girls after school during May and June, the instructors being Joseph Kerrigan and Edward l~raetz, both instructors of this subject in Lawrence for the C]vilian Aviation Authority. The principles of air raid protection are taught to all pupils, the course being based on a 23-page state handbook entitled "Civilian Defense in School and Home." The more recent changes in the high school curriculum are described in the report of the high school principal. On three evenings, the parents of juniors and seniors were in- vited to come for an explanation and discussion o£ the war- time and curricular problems of pupils. A relatively small number o£ parents responded. Reading Scores in 1928 and 1942 The Detroit Word Recognition Test was given to all first grade pupils in June., 1928, 1929, 1931, and 1942. The average scores were 14, 19, 22, and 26. 1928 14 1929 19.__ 1931 .22.__ 1942 26 In 1929, three pupils had a perfect score of 40, and in 1942, twelve did. Upper Grade Reading Scores During June, 1942, all pupils in grades 6, 7, and 8 were given the standardized Iowa Reading Tests. Of the 298 pupils taking the test, 214 or 72% scored as high or higher than the national average. It is 'so essential to be a good reader that more money is expended on the teaching of this subject than on any other in the elementary curriculum. ANNUAL REPORT 69 Change in School Hours As clocks are one hour ahead of standard time during the winter as well as the summer, the schools open one-half hour later in the morning and 15 minutes Iater in the after- noon from November first to March first. d ~.., :" ' A=Enrcllnent if al! children born attended 14-l~ ~n$,later B-=Actua October mrollment 1925-193 L B+=Predi ~ted lO~-: .~55 entel uuents (bas md on bir~ Um 14-17 Note_~ He md enrollml~nt lines aoeo~ding tn moale un left, Remd birth 1.ne accord.~ to scale on rich, 200 67 100 0 1909 f 14 ~ 19 ' 24 ' 29 ' ~4 ~ 59 B I~TH yEARS In 1940, the actual enrollment was greater than the number of children born 16 years before. This can be ex- plained by the attendance of pupils from new £amilies in town and by tuition pupils from Boxford. The moving of families into or out of town will affect the accuraey of these predictions. Noon Lunch Equipment at Center School About 55 pupils remain at the Center School during lunch hour. In order to provide each with one ho~ dish at noon, lunch serving equipment has been provided at the school. This equipment consists of hot and cold water, gas range, sink, work shelf, cupboards, ice refrigerator, serving counter and dishes. 70 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. Long Term Building Program In co-operation with the Public Works Reserve, the School Committee outlined a building program for reference when employment conditions make public building advis- able. The following buildings and estimates were included: $300,000 Addition to high school, including auditorium, gymnasium, library, cafeteria, and class rooms. $31,300 Fenced athletic field near high school, with per- manent seating. $56,000 New sche~l at the Center, replacing the present one. built in 1872 for $17,548. $69,000 Addition to New Bradstreet School to replace wooden Old Bradstreet School built in 1883. $55,200 Addition to Albert Thomson School to replace wooden Union School built in 1881 and enlarged in 1903. Union School, located 100 Beverly Street The nearer half was erected for $2,322 as a two-room school in 1881. In 1903, two rooms were added at a cos~ of $9,220. The two hot air furnaces and one small steam heater make a very unsatisfactory heating arrangement. The build- ~ng is wooden and constitutes a fire hazard. ANNUAL REPORT 71 New Help for Retarded Pupils For the first time North Andover is meeting the laws requiring special full-time instruction for retarded pupils. The instructor is Miss Jane Preston who specialized for this work in Salem Teachers' College. Selected pupils attend her Adjustment Room at the Merrimack School and receive in- struction individually adapted to their needs. Miss Winifred Fitzgerald, also, has taken special train- ing for this work and instructs a similar group at the Thom- son School Mondays and Fridays. Jobs Held Eight Weeks During the year, 245 employment certificates were turned signifying the end of terms of employment. The aver- age job tenure was eight weeks, while for 25% it was four weeks or less, and for another 25 % it was fourteen weeks or longer. "Don't Grind Up the Seed Corn" In view of the great cost of the war, some persons say that school costs, usually the largest item in current munici- pal expenditures, should be promptly reduced. Erection of new school buildings should be deferred until the close of the war, but the present level of training of our youth for service during the war and for post war service should certainly be maintained. Present pupils will later carry on for "freedom of speech, freedom of worship, free- dom from want, and freedom from fear." $124,583.00 1943 Budget 123,392.47 1942 Expenditures $1,190.53 Increase According to the vote of the 1942 town meeting, salaries were increased 10% (with $150 limit) April to December, or 'nine months, for increased living costs. The 1943 Budget provides this increase for twelve months. It, also, provides for a new teacher to give physical training at the high school. This year has been one of cordial co-operation among all branches of the School Department. I highly appreciate the advice and counsel of the School Committee who are keenly conscious of things that are for the welfare of the children. I wan. t, also, to express my appreciation of the loyal co-operation of the principals, supervisors, teachers, and janitors during this year when war has made their positions more difficult. Respectfully submitted, FRED E. PITKIN, Superintendent of Schools. 72 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL January 4, 1943 To the Superintendent of Schools: I submit to you my eleventh annual report for Johnson High School. For the past five years, the enrollment by grades as of October 1, is shown in the following table: 1938 1939 1940 1941 1942 Post Graduates 20 19 14 6 3 Seniors 73 72 98 10zl 78 Juniors 87 116 118 98 108 Sophomores 123 131 121 135 96 Freshmen 134 114 140 101 109 437 452 491 444 394 Apparently our peak enrollment was reached in 1940 and for the next few years a gradual decrease will be shown. This is due largely to the present unusual conditions when many have left school to take their places in war industries. The recent lowering of the draft age to 18 years will have some future effect on our numbers, but this effect will be only slight since we have in our 'school at present, only 28 boys who are 17 years of age or over, and of this number 21 are in the Senior class. An inspection of the school register in- cares that 6 boys who are at present in the Junior class will reach the age of 18 within the next year, and will, in all probability, be called to the service before they graduate. The largest graduating class in our history received diploma's last June. This class contained 99 pupils. Members of this group were received by 9 different colleges, a few hospitals and several trade schools. As far as ~an be learned, their progress has been very satisfactory. Last June the North Andover Woman's Club Scholar- ship was awarded to Constance M. Fitzgerald who is continu- ing her studies at Radcliffe College. No report can be written at this time, without emphasis on war activities. Practically all departments in our school-- probably all pupils and teachers have been affected in many ways by the war effort. During the past year our teachers attended defense classes and then gave the same training to all pupils in our school. A course in Pre-Flight Aeronautics was established in September 1942. Twenty-two students are registered in this class which is under the direction of Mr. John V. Donovan, our sub-master. Our pupil's were organ- ized for salvage collection, and were responsible, through ANNUAL REPORT 73 their combined effort~, for locating approximately 100 tons of scrap metal. This is equivalent to roughly 500 pounds per pupil,--a record for which they deserve high praise and commendation. Many pupils have gladly served at the look- out post, the report center, the. rationing board and the defense headquarters whenever ,called. Our commercial de- partment has done a splendid job in this respect. This de- partment, during the year has produced 25,000 copies of mimeographed material for defense classes, typed 400 iden- tification blanks for wardens, prepared 1,000 envelopes £or tire certificates and furnished clerical assistance in connec- tion with the photographing of air raid wardens. Our manual arts department co-operated with the government last spring, in the production o£ model airplanes to be used at army camps for identification purposes. Forty of these planes were accepted by thc government as meeting their rigid standards. Our social.studies clas'ses have had their attention directed toward war aims and post-war issues. Many of our problems in the fields o£ Science and Mathema- tics have been drawn from military sources. All pupils receive a paper dealing with current aviation problems. These problem.s provide a basis for discussion in our English classes, during one period of each week. Re- cently, an organization was perfected in our school, for the sale of war stamps through home rooms. Tuesday of each week is "stamp day." Thus far, the largest sale, for any one day, has amounted to $139. We are now aiming at a "$200 day." The school has retained its placement bureau for pupils who desire part-time work. At the present time 28 pupils have been placed in after:school work since last September. At present, the school is working on a revision of its The school will attempt to fill any vacancies of which it is notified. AU present, the school is working on a revision of its program, so that its pupils might become members of the national organization known as the "High School Victory Corps." This organization i.s sponsored by the National De- partment of Education in Washington, at the request of Dr. St:udebaker, the Commissioner of that department. Through this program, the high schools of our country are to become pre-induction centers. Among its basic requirements are physical education for all pupils, plus elementary training in certain fields which are vital to the successful prosecution of the war. The entire program, it is hoped, will become effec- tive February 1, 1943. It will be explained at greater length, in my report of next year. 74 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. During the past year we have been fortunate in that our £aculty has had only one change. Miss Mildred Green, who had been on our staff since September, 1923, resigned on January 30, 1942 to become married. She had been very suc- cessful in her classroom duties and in her direction of our annual school play. Her duties have been very capably as- sumed by Miss Margaret Donlan of this town,--a graduate of Boston University. In closing this report I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for the splendid co-operation which I have received from all those connected with our school. It has been a trying year, but many difficulties have been eased immeasurably through the loyal support of my teaching staff. Respectfully Submitted, ALVAH G.

A total of 53,702 books were issued in 1942. This in- cludes books circulated from the Library, from the C'enter, and from the classrooms of the elementary schools. It is 2178 less than the number loaned in 1941. 45,866 ~vere loaned from the Library. This is 2,403 fewer than in 1941. 3,343 were loaned from the schools. This is a loss of 705. 4,493 were loaned from the Center. This is a gain of 930. 13,382 were circulated from the Children's Room. This is 354 more than in 1941. A loss in the number of books issued seems to be com- mon in most public libraries except those in defense areas where the population has increased sharply. Many of our most active readers have gone to war and those who remain in town are too busy for much reading. O'ur gain in the Chil- dren's Room took place during the last three months and is due to the efforts of Miss Stillwell, who has worked inten- sively with the children during the fall months. The increase at the Center is doubtless due to difficulty of transportation. Many who used to come to the Library can not come so far for their reading matter now. It is interesting to note certain changes in the propor- tion of books which people borrow. There has been an in- crease in the number of history books circulated. This is probably due to the greater number of books about the war which have been added to our collection. There has been a decline in the percentage of technical books borrowed. This may be. caused by the fact that mo'st people have jobs and feel no particular incentive t.o ~)erfect their skills. The de- crease, in books of travel--bofl~ in the number being pub- lished and those, read by Library borrowers,--which was ~oted last year, is even more marked this year. All libraries have been requested by the American Library Association to lay a greater emphasis on books per- raining to the war and to stress the war in all our activities. We have had displays of books on The Background of the War; Our Allies; Our Opponents; What We Are Fighting For and Against; The Military Services; From the Records of the Correspondents and other aspects of the war. A list of books available on the war has been prepared for Mr. Pit- 94 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. kin. This is to be mimeographed and placed in the hands of the Erglish teachers in Johnson High School. We have also collected and displayed a large number of books and pam- phlets on consumer problems and civilian defense. One of our most popular services has been the scrapbook of clippings of men and women from North Andover who are in the serv- ice. We have completed one scrapbook and have begun a sec- ond one. We also have a scrapbook of clippings about the North Andover Public Safety Committee. The Library was open 303 days with a daily average cir- culation of 151 books from the Library and an average of 177 daily from all distribution points. The largest number of books issued in one day was 330 on March 16. The smallest was 59 on August 29. During July and August, the Library was closed at 5:30 P. M. on every Saturday. Beginning January 2, a re-regi'stration of adult borrow- ers was undertaken. This has not been publicized at all, but borrowers have been asked to register again whenever they appeared for the first time this year. 1,545 adults have reg- istered. Of these, 179 had never used the Library before. 28 cards of these 1,545 have since been cancelled, either because of marriage, moving away or death, which leaves a balance of 1,517 adult borrowers registered in 1942. 464 children are Library borrowers. Of these, 137 were registered in 1942 and 89 since October 1. The total number of registered bor- rowers is 1,981. 793 books were added. Of these, 91 were gifts. 1,217 were discarded or withdrawn. A detailed inventory of books was undertaken at the request of the Board o£ Selectmen for the purpose of determining insurance values. In consequence we have an exact record of books owned (in previous years our basic number came from an estimate made by Miss Pond before she left the Library in 1928). These are the figures, including all books added through December 31. Juvenile fiction 1,635 Juvenile non-fiction 1,177 Adult fiction 4,709 Adul5 non-fiction 10,961 Reference books 313 Total books 18,795 Pamphlets 794 Mounted pictures 1,023 Your librarian was local director of the Victory Book Campaign, sponsored nationally by the American Library Association, the American Red Cross, and the United Serv- ANNUAL REPORT 95 ice Organizations to obtain desirable books for service men. We had a fine town committee made up of representative men and women and collection centers conveniently located. We received 2,393 books and 562 magazines through Novem- ber 30. Of these, we have sent 996 books either to our dis- trict collection agency in Andover or to the New England Deposit Library in Brighton; the magazines to the Ameri~ can Merchant Marine Library Association in Boston and $6.30, which we received for books sold as old paper, to the Boston headquarters. Only books which the service men would enjoy were sent to Andover and Brighton. We were not able to send books in poor condition but disposed of them in other ways. There will be another opportunity in 1943 for others to give desirable boo,rs to the men in service. Library Hall has been used extensively. During last win- ter First Aid classes met there twice each week. It has been used by the North Andover Woman's Club Executive Board and by the North Andover Branch of the Girl Reserves of the Lawrence Y. W. C. A. On November 5, the Library pro. vided the quarters and furnished the program for the monthly meeting of the North Andover Parent-Teacher Association. The topic of the meeting wa's "Books for Chil- dren.'' Miss Stillwell spoke of her work with the school chil- dren and read Kipling's "Elephant's Child" to show the type of story she was telling. Miss EYelyn Robinson, Librarian of the Junior Room of the Memorial Hall Library in Andover, reviewed some of the outstanding new books for children. The Library had an exhibit of the books which Miss Robin- son discussed and mimeographed lists were distributed. The most outstanding development has been the work with the children, under the guidance of Miss Stillwell. She has told stories to the children of the first four grades in all of the public schools and has been to most of them more than once. This has resulted in a greater use of the books in the Children's Room than for some time and in a large increase in the number of borrowers during the past three months. Children's Book Week was celebrated by exhibits of books, a display of flags of the United Nations--together with books about the various countries represented--and an tractively decorated Children's Room. This Library has never before had a trained Children's Librarian. There has been a need for it and it is to be hoped that we can always have one from this time on. Miss Batchelder, Miss Keating and Mr. Coram all took the American Red Cross First Aid course last winter. Miss Batchelder has also taken the Air Raid Warden's course. Mr. Coram will take one if another class is given. It is the duty 96 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. of either Miss Batchelder or Mr. Coram to act as Air Raid Warden at the Library in time of blackouts and in case of a raid. There have been fewer Library meeting~ held this year because of the war, but Miss Stillwell, Miss Driver and Miss Batchelder have all attended one or more during 1942. Miss Stillwe]l has completed the third summer of the Library course which she began in 1940. Her fine work with the chil- dren this year shows the results of her training. "In the present war--librarians-carry a responsibility such as they have never carried in our history. They are combatants from this time on," says Elmer Davis in the October issue of the Amer/can Library Association Bulletin. "There is no doubt about what that responsibility is-- It is a call to adult education with a magnificent purpose. We are asked to make a major contribution to the enlighten- ment of the American people on the main issues which call for decision. These issues are of such significance and the decisions concerning them of such importance, that what the free nations decide now may gregtly influence the future history of the world." The above quotation is from the October of the Ameri- can Association Bulletin. It is a distinct challenge to all librarians. We hope that the. Stevens Memorial Library may be able to measure up to their new responsibilities. Respectfully submitted, MARION F.

Elliott, Auditor: I submit to you my annual report of the Highway De- partment for the year ending December 31, 1942. Summary of the Work of the Highway Department The snow appropriation was used for ploughing snow, sanding streets and sidewalks and removing snow from in front of public buildings, stores and churches. All plows were repaired if needed to be and painted. Snow fences were taken care of in the Fall and Spring. For the past two years, at the beginning of the Winter season, a number of boxes containing sand mixed with salt has been placed at corners and near dangerous intersections throughout the town. The public has been most co-operative in spreading the sand on slippery places, thereby relieving conditions considerably. The following streets were oiled and sanded: Adams Ave., Andover St., Bacon Ave., Brook St., Bradstreet Rd., Beacon Hill Blvd., Bunkerhill St., Buckingham Rd., C~ncord St., Court St., Camden St., Chestnut St., Dufton Ct., Elm- wood St., Fernwood St., Farnham St., Foster St., Gr. Pond Rd., Glenwood St., Green St., Harwood St., Hillside Rd., Hewitt Ave., High St., Johnson St., Lyman Rd., Little Rd., Longwood Ave., Lexington St., Milton St., Margate Rd., Milk St., Moody St., Middlesex St., Osgood St., Park St., Pleasant St., Parker St., Parkway, Pilgrim Rd., Prescott St., Rosedale Ave., Richardson Ave., Summer St., S. Bradford St., Stevens St., Tavern Rd., Wood Ave., William St., Winter St., Wood Lane, Trinity Ct., Wiley Ct., Young Rd. Chestnut Street was scarified, shaped, roiled and oiled, Boston Street was scraped and rolled. On Railroad Avenue, from Union Street to Railroad Square the road was covered with pea stone and rolled. This work was necessary due to the increased traffic on thi's road. On Pleasant Street from the junction of Pleasant Street and Great Pond Road, the road was graveled, rolled and oiled. After a lapse of two weeks this section was oiled again. On Green Street and Parker Street three hundred feet of twelve-inch surface drain was laid and two catch basins built. Since many new homes have been built in that section of the town this drain was most essential. It was al'so neces- sary to replace many surface drains in various parts of the town. All fences were repaired and painted if needed. The following cement sidewalks were repaired: Tavern Road, Bradstreet Road and Clarendon Street. The sidewalks on Herrick Road, Young Road, Little Road, Buckingham 100 TO,tN OF NORTH ANDOYER, MASS. Road, Lyman Road, Dana Street, Harold Street, Davis Street, Green Street, Parker Street and a portion of Brightwood Avenue were repaired and top-dressed. Chapter 90 Maintenance On Railroad Avenue from the Andover Line to the Ceme- tery was covered with pea stone, T9 road tar and rolled. Also £rom Middlesex Street to the Cemetery was honed and T5 tar was used. Forty £eet of twelve-inch pipe, one cross drain and one catch basin rebuilt on Box£ord and Salem Streets, also fence posts painted, brush cut and considerable gravel put on shoulders where needed. On Great Pond Road from Flat. s Bridge on Route 133 to the Boxford Line, was honed and covered with T5 tar. Respectfully submitted, IRA D. CART¥, Highway Surveyor.

ANNUAL REPORT 111 TAX COLLECTOR'S REPORT The Tax Collector's report for 1942 shows an improve- ment in current tax collections. The 1942 Real Estate Levy is 90% collected and the 1941 Levy is now 98.2% collected. Since the current tax rate is identical with that of 1941, the uncollected balances, as of December 31st of both years may be directly compared as follows: December 31, 1941 December 31, 1942 Real Estate Taxes $31,496 81 $26,308 29 (Does not include RE. committed Dec. 20, 1942) Personal Property Tax 970 51 538 28 Poll Taxes 246 00 86 00 Motor Vehicle Excise 818 90 114 74 Motor Vehicle Excise Taxes are beginning to reflect the restrictions placed on the purchase of new vehicles. Five hundred and ninety-seven (597) fewer cars were registered in 1942 with a loss of committed excise of $3,790.01 as com- pared to 1941. 1941 u~collected balances as of December 31, 1942 are as follows: Real Estate Taxes $4,896 25 Personal Property Taxes 77 00 Poll Taxes 0 00 Motor Vehicle Excise 4 00 There are no uncollected balances prior to 1941. The total collections of taxes, interest and demands turned over to the treasurer in 1942 was $319,450.87; a de- crease of $2,814.93 from 1941.

Gentlemen: The Public Work Reserve Coordinating Committee ap- pointed by you in January, organized in February. Meetings have been held with representatives of the Public Work Re- serve from Boston and with the various departments of the town interested in planning for future needs of the town. The proposals for capital improvements submitted by the various department's have been submitted to Boston, where they were checked, numbered and submitted to Washirtgto~ for filing in the Public Work Reserve. A comprehensive financial survey of the town was pre- pared by Miss May Finn of the Auditor's Office, showing detailed receipts and expenditures from 1930 to 1942. The Federal Public Work Reserve Agency was suspended on July 1, so that it was not possible for the. Planning Consultants on their staff to meet with the Committee and finally work out a six year capital improvement program for the town as originally planned. No attempt has been made by the com- mittee, to evaluate the proposals, determining the most neces- sary capital improvements for the town consistent with such various factors as ability to pay, population, gn'owth, debt and interest requirements, etc.; but all proposals are listed with the Public Work Reserve Registration Number assigned to them in Boston. The Committee recommends that this repo~t be published in the annual town report so that the proposals may be available for consideration and action when the war is over and the opportunity of proceeding with capi- tal improvements is again possible. We record with deep sorrow and 'sense of personal loss, our late valued member, Mr. Isaac Osgood.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD To the Selectmen of the Town of North Andover: General The Planning Board ha's held nineteen regular meet- ings, two of which were field trips. At our May meeting, engineering officials from the City of Lawrence appeared to discuss problems relating to the relocation of Clarke Street which has been made necessary by the extension of the air- por~. It has been impossible for member James Daw to at- tend meetings as he is in foreign service with the United States Army, and to him we extend our best wishes. During the year our former member, Isaac Osgood, passed away and his loss will be keenly felt. Zoning Ordinance In accordance with the provisions of Article 13 of the Town Warrant of 1942, we consulted several zoning authori- ties and finally engaged Mr. Clinton F. Goodwin of the firm of Morse, Dickinson & Goodwin to assist us in the prepara- tion of a zoning by-law. The board has devoted most of its efforts to this work and the results are submitted as an article in the Town War- rant. We have held three public hearings to which the towns- people were invited. Many suggestions were received which were of great value to the board. It is our belief that the proposed ordinance will be of benefit to the town, both now and in the years to come. Sub-Division Control A real estate lay-out was submitted in accordance with our regulations and after a public hearing was held an area bounded by Massachusetts Avenue and Parker Street was approved. The present sub-division regulations were adopted in 1922. We believe that these regulations are inadequate under present conditions. We have nearly completed the drafting of new regulations which will soon be adopted. Respectfully submitted, C. MASON TUCKER WILLIAM A. RUSSELL JOHN J. COSTELLO DONALD A.

JAMES HARGREAVES LEO KANE ARTHUR STEAD ANNUAL REPORT 137 REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH The Board of Health meets the last Thursday of the month to transact any business that comes under the depart- ment. All notices or complaints concerning health and sani- tation are investigated as soon as possible, and measures taken to correct or adjust, as seems best from a health stand- point, and in fairness to all concerned. We are pleased to report that there has been no serious run of communicable diseases---236 cases have been reported as follows: Mumps 62; Chicken-pox 51; Measles 49; Dog Bite 41; Whooping Cough 15; Tuberculosis 7; Lobar Pneumonia 5; Scarlet Fever 3; Undulent Fever 2; Cat Bite 1. All Dangerous Diseases (Catching Diseases) must be re- ported, by law, to khe Board of Health. With so many Physi- cians in the Army making it difficult to get medical atten- tion as soon as necessary, in many cases, parents should watch their children very closely for signs of any illness, and take every precaution to avoid the spread of contagious diseases. The Board of Health will respond as soon as pos- sible to any call. Deaths from reportable diseases---Tuberculosis 2; Lobar Pneumonia 2. Diphtheria immunization and Pre-School Clnics were conducted as usual and well attended. Dr. Holt, Board Physi- cian in charge.

Representing Andover, Boxford and North Andover February, 1943 The Draft Board was appointed by President Roosevelt on October 9, 1940. There have been six registrations, cover- ing all men from eighteen to sixty-five. Due to war conditions, it i's not considered advisable to publish the number registered or inducted, but Andover continues to furnish slightly more than half the men sent from district number three. The splendid co-operation and help given by the citizens of all three of the towns has been of great assistance. Our young men have answered the call with a willingness and with a spirit of which we may all be proud. Wherever they may be, they have the best wishes of Andover, North Andover, and Boxford. The Town of Andover not only has furnished and cared for our comfortable quarters in the Town Hall, but also re- cently has enlarged the room to accommodate the expansion of the equipment made necessary by the large increase in the number of registrants. For all this we wish to express our appreciation. We give on another page a list of the personnel of the local organization. All services are given willingly, and, ex- cept for the three permanent clerks in the office, are without pay. Respectfully submitted, For the Selective Service Board, SAMUEL F. ROCKWELL, Chairman.

ANNUAL REPORT OF MOTH AND TREE DEPARTMENT The Gypsy Moth condition this year, 1942, is about the same as last. The Department has been doing the same work as other years. Creosoting Gypsy Moth egg clusters along the roadsides and the woodlands. The same amount of spray- ing was done as other years. The Brown Tail Moth pest has increased over last year mostly in the section bordering Ward Hill and Boxford line. The Tent Caterpillar and Canker Worm has been on the increase the last two years. The Elm Leaf Beetle condition has been improving each year, thus next year's condition should be much improved. The Tree Department removed a number of trees and stumps from the roadsides this year for different reasons such as: blocking sidewalks, in driveways, dead and diseased trees. The trees on a number of streets have been cared for by removing dead wood, trimming and shaping, and remov- ing low hanging branches. There were about fifty trees plan~ed in streets in all parts of the town. Brush cutting has been done as other years in parts of the town that are in the worst conditions. Most of this is done on the narrow country roads and bad corners. In our Town forest this year very little was done as this projec~ was started la~er in the year and weather con- ditions stopped i~. JOHN J. CONNORS, Tree Warden.
