ANNUAL REPORT 1933 Please Preserve This Report for Use at the Town Meeting Report of Advisory Board MARCH, 1938 To the Citizens of North Andover: The warrant for the annual town meeting this year presents a difficult problem for the Advisory Board and the voters of North Andover. With a tax rate that is already much above the average for the state, and business conditions and prospects which are reminiscent of the recent depression years, we are faced with a town warrant which would further increase our tax rate by six dollars this year, raising it to a figure of approxi- mately $43.00. Reductions in wages and salaries, and even curtailment of town services with the loss of many jobs, would inevitably follow such a rate. The situation calls for the earnest attention of every citizen of the town, whether a property taxpayer or not. In the meetings of the Advisory Board the members 'were agreed that adequate funds must be provided for welfare and the various forms of relief. The needy must be eared for. We. are unanimously of the opinion that wages and salaries should not be reduced, and that as mueh work and wages as possible should be provided in the appropriation and spending of town funds. But how to accomplish these results and not arrive at a tax rate which would confiscate the property or business o£ the taxpayer is the problem. We believe that we have arrived at the best solution, considering the interests of all, and we urge the town meeting to support our recommendations. Compared with last year, our recommendations in gen- eral provide the same, or larger, appropriations wherever work and wages are affected. Substantial increases are recom- mended in welfare, old age assistance, and soldiers' relief appropriations. Many of the special articles on which we have reported unfavorably have features of merit and should be adopted another year. But as pointed out previously, the problem this year was a matter of selecting the work which must be done and promised the most employment. We wish to remind those who have a special interest in any department that it is proper and natural for them to be enthusiastic for the extension of the equipment and the activity which hold their chief interest. But if the Advisory Board and the town meeting satisfied every enthusiast, we would not arrive at a practicable distribution of the Town's income, and hardships would be bound to result. We ask all voters to keep in mind that for every $7,200 appropriated at town meeting there is an increase of one dollar in the tax rate. We urge everyone to realize that the Advisory Board is recommending increases over last year of more than $16,000 in departmental appropriations and not to further increase that added burden. We have held many hearings and conferred with town ofcers, state officials, and many individuals, and wish to extend our thanks to all who have been of assistance, par- ticularly to town officers and department heads for their cooperation and help. Respectfully submitted, ERNEST G. ABBOTT, Chairman DAVID A. FINN CLARENCE HUTTON CHARLES T. McCARTHY JOHN W. PERLEY JOSEPH D. SULLIVAN FRED D. WHITTIER Advisory Board. COMMENT FINANCE 10. An increase of $50 is recommended on account of the time and expense for transportation necessary to efficiently fulfill the duties of this office. It is recommended that Special Article 28 be stricken from the warrant, also that the dog officer work in closer cooperation with the Board o~ Health. FINANCE 23. In considering this item, it should be remembered that $8,000 was voted at a special town meeting in January and this $4,000 is an additional amount, making $12,000 in all appropriated this year for snow removal. FINANCE 26. The large amount of unemployment, and consequently the increased number of welfare cases, make this larger appropriation necessary. FINANCE 37. In the opinion o[ the Advisory Board, a reduction in this item is feasible and carries out our stated in- tention to recommend appropriations which provide work and wages. Only 25% of the forest fire appropriation last year was used for wages. The balance went for equipment and supplies which, no doubt, will not have to be duplicated this year. FINANCE 55. Old age assistance expenses are steadily increasing. In the opinion of competent authorities, the cost to lCederal, State and local governments will not reach its peak for several more years. No one wants to withhold assistance from the needy aged, but we believe the department should get along with the $2,000 additional we have recommended, which makes an appropriation of $24,000. More money for old age assistance can be obtained from a special town meeting if needed. ARTICLES 9-12. More thought should be given to the term of years for which town officers should be elected than it was possible to give in the few weeks between the making up of the warrant and the closing of the Advisory Board report. We have not been able to get an expression of opinion in favor of the proposed lengthening of the terms of office from any of the town officials affected and, in view of Article 13, which proposes the appointment of a committee to study and recom- mend changes in the By-Laws, it seems best to recommend that these Articles be referred to such committee. ARTICLES 21 and 54. There are three appropriations requested for W. P. A. work of various kinds. Article 26 re- quests the usual $8,000, which is recommended. Article 21 and Article 54 are additional and ask for $7,500 and $7,000, respectively, or a total of $14,500 additional. The maintenance work contemplated in Article 21 should be done out of the regular appropriations of the departments, or is in effect an increase in deTartment appropriations. The sidewalks contem- plated in Article 54 wou!d be scattering and laid without any town plan in mind. It would be better to put more preparation into this project and get sidewalks which would be continuous. ARTICLES 29 and 30. The Director of Accounts, State Department of Corporations and Taxation, advises us that the only way we could, collect these old accounts is by suit, and as long as they are really outlawed, the town meeting shoud vote favorably on the petition of the auditor and clear the books, ARTICLES 40 cud 41. We wou!d prefer to have a re- port from the Gamewell Company, or some similar authority, b~fore recommending these expenses for the fire department. Not enough t~me could be given by the Advisory Board to sat- isfy the members that the expense should be incurred this year. ARTXCLES 48 and 49. At pt'esent there is no town road to Grog~n's Field. People gdlng to and from the play- ground do so at their own risk. With the new development of the fie!d house, it is important to provide convenient access ,~hich Belmont Street will do, besides providing for two-way fr~ffic an~ a shorter route to Lawrence for a large section of North Andover. In the same way, the streets proposed for acceptap, ce i.n Article 49 provide more convenient access to Grogan's Fie~d and give a shorter thoroughfa:'e to Lawrence. There are sewers the whole length of Francis Street and Patriot Street to take care of any bnild~;ng developments without ex- pense to the town. ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS Article 3.

Listed below are the streets found to be in such bad repair that it was necessary to completely resurface them: Boxford St., Bradford St., Clarke St., Dana St., Dufton Ct., Furber Ave., Hillside Rd., Hewitt Ave, Lacy St. Essex St., Prospect St., and Great Pond Road were built and dressed with Tarvia. Merrimack Street was rebuilt with macadam and widened eight feet. Sutton Street from High to Osgood Street was widened 12 feet and treated with Tarvia, two catch-basins installed and a 6 ft. cinder sidewalk built. Cinder and stone-dust sidewalks were laid on: Railroad Ave., 2 on Chapin Rd., Dana St., Tho~"ndike Rd., Columbia Rd., Milk St., Park St., 2 on Bay State Rd., and Edmunds Road. Tar sidewalks were laid on: Cross St., Stonington St, Middlesex St., Union St., Second St., Beverly St., Dudley St., Johnson St., Salem St., Marblehead St., and Second St. On Tavern Road several sections of concrete sidewalk were replaced. New curbing set on Middlesex St., from Beverly to Annis St., and old curbing reset on Johnson St. New fences were built at the Far~ham School and at Green St. All other fences were repaired and repainted. The 10 inch drain on corner of Chestnut and Andover Streets was replaced by a 15 inch Akron pipe. New drains also laid on Hewett Ave., Herrick Rd., Thorndike Road, Chestnut St. Many drains and culverts were so badly ob- structed that it was necessary to dig them up, clean, and replace them. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS, 59 Several catch-basins have been installed in different parts of the town. Owing to the flooded conditions of the Merrimack River at Riverview Street, the bridge was lifted. It was necessary to rebuild same and install new fence on the river side. Boxford Street was raised 27 inches and widened at the lower end. It was voted at the Town Meeting that money for the following be taken from the General Maintenance appropria- tion: Resurfaced with $300 spent. Wood Lane gravel and surface drain installed. Forest Street Resurfaced with cinders. $300 spent. Edmunds Road New road of gravel and Tarvia, new sidewalk of cinders and stone-dust, also surfa'ce drain. $300 spent. Prospect Street 300 ft. of 8 inch surface drain installed and 5 catch- basins. $300 spent. Through the efforts of the Highway Surveyor, the Eastern Mass. Street Railway were persuaded to raise the tracks on Sutton St., from the turn-out at the depot to the turn-out at the Brightwood Mills, eliminating a very danger- ous hazard. In regard to the matter of Refuse Disposal, all former routes were covered, all refuse disposed of in an efficient and thorough manner, although the appropriation was reduced from $3750 to $3000 or 20%. In fact some routes were lengthened considerably. 6o ANNUAL REPORT SNOW REMOVAL AND SANDING Streets and Sidewalks Allison, John 19.00 Annett, Benjamin 33.9I) Armstrong, Stanley 4.22 Bacon, John 2.25 Bam£ord, Robert 111.44 Bamford, Russell 14.34 Beaudoin, Wilfred 2.25 Beturlea, Anthony 9.00 Beveridge, Donald 11.25 Binns, tIarry 11.25 Boush, Alfred 6.75 Bumyea, Joseph 6.19 Burdick, A. 2.81 Brains, John 13.94 Callahan, Neal 2.53 Camire, Leon 2.25 Carroll, Charles 5.91 CarrolI, Joseph 11.97 Carter, Ezra 19.00 Carter, Thomas 4.92 Casey, Joseph 4.92 Cate, Gilbert 8.91 Clay, George 9.00 Clement, Alexander 2.53 Coates, Benjamin 73.13 Collier, B. 7.88 Conners, Daniel 51.47 Conners, Thomas 15.47 Cooney, Leslie 2.25 Coppinger, Frank 46.51 Cornell, James J. 4.92 Costell% Edward 14.00 Costello, Francis 11.25 Cowperthwaite, James 2.25 Crabtree, William 22.07 Crompton, Ralph 2.25 Cropley, Thomas 2.25 Cullen, William 2.25 Currier, Dana 24.55 Currier, Robert 2.25 Curtin, John 32.78 Cyr, John 1.97 Dainowski, John 2.45 Dantenil, George 4.50 Daw, James 9.00 Degenhardt, Frank 4.22 Deloge, George 10.00 Detora, John 23.76 Detora, Peter 4.92 DeVebre, Reginald 17.16 Dill, Raymond 19.00 Dillon, James 4.22 Dineen, Jeremiah 27.50 Doherty, Edward A. 62.23 Doherty, Edward B. 31.09 Donnelly, John 9.00 Donnelly, Philip 192.81 Donovan, Cornelius 25.92 Donovan, Michael 16.19 Dooley, Thomas 2.53 Dooley, Michael 4.50 Doyle, Daniel 12.94 Driseoll, Charles 27.57 Driscoll, Patrick 15.76 Driscoll, Thomas 10.00 Driscoll, William 3.38 Drummond, Arthur 28.00 Dufton, William 4.78 Dyer, Edward 2.39 Eldredge, Walter 2.25 Ellis, Clarence 48.10 Emmert, Albert 14.91 Emmert, William 14.47 Enaire, Augustine 9.00 Enaire, Henry 82.69 Farragher, Thomas 30.00 FarrelI, James 22.94 Fa~vbert, J. 4.22 Finn, Hubert 11.67 Field, Arthur 10.00 Finn, Joseph 74.62 Flanagan, Christopher 17.01 Foster, Earl 6.86 Foster, Guy 4.50 Foster, Orin B. 20.25 Foster, Loring B. 10.~0 TOWN OF N0]{T~I tVri61, George :Frost, Edwin C. allaher, Edward Gallant, Stephen, Sr. 4]allant, Stephen, Jr. C~ile, Daniel ~i]e, Nelson Gile, Thomas ~lendenning, Robert Glidden, Newton Goff, James q3oodell, Philip Gordon, Joseph Goudin, Philip Gray, Harold Grande, Frank Greenwood, Samuel Griva, Roman Hager, WaiSt Hamilton, Malcolm Handy, Richard Hargreaves, Harold Hargreaves, Richard Harrington, John ;Kay, John Hayes, George Hayman, William Heaphy, Francis }Iibbetts, John Hill, Fred Hinxman, Charles Hodges, Richard Hollsworth, Fred Holmes, John Holt, John Houghton, Raymond Houston, Alfred H.owarth, William Hurrell, Stanley Hydjas, E.

Measles ............ 7 W. Cough ............. 56 Dog Bite ............. 11 Lobar Pneumonia ..... 5 Tuberculosis care and prevention is a very important part of our work. Children are being followed up annually under the State's Ten Year Program, Chadwick Clinic. Sev- enteen were on the list to be X-rayed this year. The report has not yet been received on the X-ray. These children that need to be checked up by an examination during the year are taken to Essex Sanatorium, Middleton. Diphtheria immunizing Clinics were held in the schools and in town buildings in the fall. Not having one case of diphtheria reported during the year shows the benefit of lbese treatments. For those parents who wished to bring their children, a pre-school clinic was held in the town build- ing. Physicians examined the chil,dren, if defects were found, giving the summer months to get them remedied the children in good physical condition before entering school for the first time in the fall. Baby conferences are held every Wednesday afternoon 2-4 in the Board of Health rooms. The average attendance was 10. Our milk supply on the whole is of excellent quality in most cases above the state requirements. Mr. Orris Rea was appointed Slaughtering Inspector to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Fred M. Hill. LUCIA P.

Circulation and Use of Books 58,063 books were issued during 1933. This is 527 more than the circulation o£ 1932. Of these, 3,876 were circulated from the public schools to which we sent 989 books during the year. The per capita circulation for the year was 8.3 This is a slight gain over 1932. It is interesting to note that the first eight months of the year, with the exception of February, showed a gain in the number of books issued; and the rest of the year showed a loss, except December when the number circulated was exactly the same as the number issued in December 1932. The largest number tak- en out in any one month was 6,397 in March, the month of the bank holiday. 15,508 books were loaned from the Children's Room. This is 1,128 Ness than the 1932 figures. 989 were sent to schools. This is 66 less than the num- ber sent in 1932. The circulation of fiction was 72 % of the total. Registration of Borrowers 383 borrowers were registered. Of these, 192 were over 12 years of age, 127 were under 12, and 64 were transferred I'I0 ANNUAL REPOR~ from the Children's Room to the Adult Department. 19Y names were dropped from the list of borrowei's. were names of Feople who had moved away from town, or who had died, or who were not active ~aders, having not used the Library for three years or long'er. Thus, the net gain of readers was 192, with a total registration of 3,05L Book Colleeti~n 594 books were added to the shelves d~ring the year. Of these, 161 were children's books. 101 were worn out, discarded, or lost, making a net gain of 493. Many others should be discarded as they are badly worn and much soiled, but we hate to give them up as long as they hold together, since we cannot replace many of them at present. 3,344 books were repaired in the library. 255 were rebound at the bindery. The total book collec;ion is 19,089. Of the books added, 166 were gifts. We are very grate- fuI to those who have given them and we shall welcome any other gifts that may be made in 1934. In addition to the regular State publications which we receive, we have also had gifts of books and magazines from the following donors: Mrs. Hollis Bailey, Davis & Furber Machine Com- pany, H. S. Firestone, Jr., Mrs. Charlotte Galaher, John Jacob Hoff, Mrs. John W. Judson, Mrs. Angelina Kelley, Mrs. George E. Kunhardt, Mrs. John Kane, Literary Digest, Mrs. Edwin W. Moody, Frederick McDuffie, Mrs. Jeremiah W. Murphy, Mrs. A. L. Prescott, Quebec Department of High- ways, Rand McNally Company, Ivar L. Sjostrom, H. S. Stil- lings, Mrs. John J. Wilcox, and Philip and Robert Young. There have been gifts from se~;eral people who wish to be unmentioned. Library Reading Club The Library Reading Club, made up of girls from the ~th to the 8th grades inclusive, continued to meet through June. It has not been reorganized this fall. In January, the Club presented a scene from Louisa M. Alcott's LITTLE' WOMEN, before the Young People's Religious Union at the TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. Unitarian Church. This was very well dm~e. Old-fashioned costumes were lent to the girls by Miss Olive Rea, to whom the Club was very grateful. Lessons on the Use of the Library Lessons on the care of books, use of the card catalogue, and system of classification of the books, were given to the boys and girls of the eighth grades of the public schools during March. Problems were assigned, papers were graded and returned to the teachers of each grade. Work done at the Library was to count as an assignment in English or .S(>cial Science. These lessons help each child to find books for himself when he comes to the Library. Story Hour During Bo~k Week, we had Miss Margery Webster, a recent graduate from the Wheelock School, come to thc Library to tell stories to the children. The attendance was very large. Since then, Miss Webster has come to us three times. Twice the stories were for the children of the first two grades, and once they were for the third and t'ourth grade boys and girls. Miss Webster gave her services for these story hours and we feel very grateful to her. Book Week A small exhibit of new books for children was arranged. Letters were sent to the principals of all the elementary schools asking the children ~o invite their parents to come to see the books. Lists of new children's books were dis- tributed, and a list of inexpensive books (most of them standard books) was available for consultation. An offer to borrow books from the Division of Public Libraries in £oreign languages was made. Other Activities in the Library A talk on SUGGESTIO~NS FOR SUMMER READING was given before the Woman's Union of the Trinitarian Con- gregational Church. Annotated lists of books suggested in the talk were distributed. rr~~ ANNUAL REPORT A talk on LOUISA M. ALCOTT was given before the Young People's Religious Union at the Unitarian Church. A list of recent books suitable for required reading' among the English pupils at Johnson High School was com- piled. Exhibits of books on various subjects, have been dis- played at the Library. Collections of books in Lithuanian, Yiddish, and Ger-- man have been borrowed from the Division of PubIic Libra- ries for our borro~x,ers who cannot read English easily for those wh~ like to read something in their mother tongue. A travel collection was borrowed from the Division of Pub- lic Libraries. Advantage was taken of a very remarkable book sale at the Personal Book Shop, in Boston, during January 1933. Many of the books were very drastically reduced and we were able to secure them at a fraction of their original cost. The annual winter meeting of the Massachusetts Library Club in Boston was attended in January, as well as two meetings of the Children Librarian's section of the Massachusetts Library Club. Cooperation of Other Libraries Through the cooperation of other libraries, we were able to fill most of the calls for non-fiction. Books were lent to us from the following libraries: Memorial Hall Library, Andover; Boston Public Library; Haverhill Public Library; Lynn Public Library; Mass. Division of Public Libraries; Mass. State Library; Mass. Horticultural Society Library; Mass. Institute of Technology Library; and the Lawrence Public Library has supplied some of our readers with mate- rial which they needed. Respectfully submitted, MARION F. BATCHELDER, Librarian. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. l ~ 3 Sometimes the question is asked as to what kinds of books people who borrow from our library read most. The following tabular statement for 1933 compiled by Miss Batchelder is both interesting and informing.

The splendid, untiring service of our librarian and her assistants under the unusually trying conditions of this year we are glad thus publicly to acknowledge and commend. We, also, add our thanks to those of our librarian for all gifts made to the Library and for outside services so generously rendered. Respectfully submitted, NATHANIEL STEVENS, MARY O.

TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. Regulations The following regulations, until further notice, shall be considered a part of the contract with every person who uses water. 1. All applications for the use of water must be made at the office of the Board of Public Works and must state fully the. purpose for which it is intended to be used. The Water Department will in all cases furnish and lay the service pipe from the street main to and through the cellar wall and provide on the end thereof a stop and waste valve. In any case where an owner shows sufficient reason he may be permitted to lay a pipe on his own property, but pro- vision must be made. at the owner's expense, so that a meter installation can be made where the Water Depart- ment work ceases. The owner of the premises shall in all cases pay for such service pipe as may be laid within his premises, together with the stop and waste valve, at such rates as may be fixed by the Board of Public Works. The Board of Public Works reserves the right to establish a minimum price for service installations. Payment in full must be made for any service installation before the water is turned on. 2. The Water Department will set meters on all serv- ices and charge a rental of two dollars per year for 5/8-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. All meters will be kept in repair by the Water Department at the expense of the owner. No more than one meter may be installed on any service unless the owner agrees to have each additional meter (for the purpose of billing) considered as a separate service. 3. All persons using water must furnish internal pipes, connections and fixtures and keep them and all pipe to the street Iine in good repair and protected from frost at their own e:kpense, and the Town will not be liable for any damage resulting from failure to do so. Any expense 130 ANNUAL REPORT incurred in clearing services must be borne by the con- sumer. No person will be permitted to connect with any water pipes on the inlet side of the meter in any way or manner without a written permit from the Board of Public Works. 4. Water rates 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 nompayment of water rates within .sixty days after the same are due as well as for any violation of these rules, the supply may be shut off and water will not again be let on except upon payment of the amount due and the sum of one dollar for shutting off and letting on the water. In case of shutting off or letting on the water for repairs, testing of pipes or any other purpose the sum of one dollar will be charged. 5. The water rates shall be paid by the owner or les- see of the whole premises and the owner shall in all cases be responsible for the water rates of his tenants. 6. No water taker shall supply water to parties not entitled to its use, except on written permit from the Board of Public Works. 7. All apparatus and places supplied with water must be accessible at all reasonable times to the inspection of the Board of Public Works or their agents to examine the pipes and fixtures and ascertain the quantity of water used and the manner of its use, and all pipes and fixtures shall be subject to rejection by said Board of Public Works if considered unsuitable for the purpose. 8. Upon application of an owner a meter will be re- moved and 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 cancelled and a proper adjustment made. 9. The Board of Public Works reserves the right to restrict the use of hose or fountains or to shut off the water TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 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 shall open any hydrant of the water works system of the Town, without written permission previously obtained from the Board of Public Works. Provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the use of hy- drants and water by the Chief of the Fire Department or the person acting in his stead, in case o£ fire.

Nine six-inch gate valves and one new hydrant were installed, The water system now comprises fifty-one and thirty-five hundredths miles of main pipe, two twelve-inch check vaIves, one four- teen-inch gate, nineteen twelve-inch, twelve ten-inch gates, fifty-n/ne eight-inch gates, three hundred and eighty-five six-inch gates, and three hundred and six public hydrants. The new water main extensions were as follows: Rosedale Avenue southerly from the previous terminus of the water main one hundred and fifty-six feet of six-inch pipe; Marbler~dge Road from Salem Street southerly four- teen hundred and ten feet of six-inch pipe to the previous terminus of the water main, three six-inch gates and one hydrant. Six-inch gates were placed on a hydrant branch on Salem Street at Marbleridge Road, on a hydrant branch on Osgood Street at Great Pond Road, and on a hydrant branch on Turnpike at Peters Street. Eight and five-tenths feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate were used on relocating a hydrant on Bi'uce Street; six and five-tenths feet of six- inch pipe and one sixqincb gate were used on relocating a hydrant on Stonington Street; and nine feet of six-inch pipe and one gate were used in relocating a hydrant on Turn- pike Street. There were installed during the year ] 933 six new serv- ices, and thirty-one services were renewed. The policy of meter inspection was continued as in former years. The system of thorough hydrant inspection started in 1931 was continued also. The inspection of gate valves started in 1932 was also carried on and the records of all inspections kept up-to-date. An inspection of the curb box on each service in the water system was started during 1933 to verify the location of the box and its accessibility and fitness for use. The number of curb boxes filled up and otherwise unfit for speedy operation of the curb stcp made the value of the inspection at once apparent. A new meter reading system dividing the town into ten meter reading routes has made for speedier and more TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. accurate readings as well as brought this phase of the water department work up to the modern public utility standard. Commitment sheets listing all Public Works charges and a new form of water bill were established to be used in con- junction with the new meter reading system. Thus the obso- lete individual meter reading cards, the individual account cards, and the antiquated form of bill have all been replaced by modern methods which place our department on a par with the best private and municpal water departments in the country. The boiler room floor of bricks at the pumping station was resurfaced with concrete and a Itoor drain installed. The inadequate 4~f2x2a~x4 boiler feed pump installed in 1918 and in need of considerable repairs was replaced with a 6x4x6 pump of the same type. The 8x12x12 condenser pump and cone type condenser installed in 1898 was replaced with a 10x14x18 condenser, pump and cone type condenser of greatly improved design and efficiency. It will now be pos- sible to operate either the two and a half million or the million and a half gallon pump individually or together with this condensing apparatus. Seventy-seven boats were regis- tered for use on Lake Cochichewick and one hundred and forty-four residents were given permits to boat. and fish there. The wooden fences around the Reservoir plot, the Tele- meter house at the Reservoir, and the gate .from Chestnut Street to the Reservoir were all given much needed repairs. There were thirty-five services cleared, sixty-nine serv- ice pipe leaks and two broken hydrants repaired during the year. Two hundred and twenty-seven and a half feet of cop- per service pipe were used to replace old leaking service pipes in the highways. Eight more services which were no longer in use and had been shut off only at the curb stop were shut off at the main so that all danger of leaks from them is definitely removed. In following out a definite construction program in order that the system may be strengthened and improved so as to meet any anticipated requirements in the future it should be recommended: 1. A new 12-inch main feeder line be laid from the reservoir to the downtown section via Chestnut Street, Hill- side Road, Turnpike Street, and Railroad Avenue. 2. The capacity of the reservoir be increased 500,000 gallons. 138 ANNUAL REPORT 3. The original wooden coal bin at the Pumping Sta- tion be replaced with a larger bin of permanent construc- tion. For 1934 it is recommended that the following minor extensions and improvements be made to the system: 1. Replace the temporary main on Wood Lane from Andover Street with six-inch cast iron pipe. 2. Connect the six-inch mains on Middlesex Street from Milton Street to Lyman Street. 3. Raise, relocate, and place gates on several hydrants throughout the town and especially on the heavily traveled ways :--Sutton, Main and Middlesex Streets. Sewer Department The North Andover Sewerage System is designed to flow in three divisions: the East Side Drainage Area with its trunk sewer following Cochichewick Brook from Lake Cochichewick to the Merrimack River; the West Side Drain- age Area with/ts trunk server on Railroad Avenue, Greene Street, and along the Shawsheen River to the Merrimack River; the Central Drainage Area bounded by the Railroad Avenue, Middlesex, and Water Street with the trunk sewers in Railroad Avenue, Water Street, and Main Street to the Merrimack River. There are fifteen and eight tenths miles of sewers in the North Andover Sewerage System with over three hun- dred and fifty manholes. There are nine hundred and eighty-seven particular sewers connected with the main sewers. The main sewers are listed according to size as follows: (checked on recent sewer survey project) (Size of Sewers (Inches) 24 20 18 15 12 10 8 6 Length of Sewers (Feet) 5926 822 7499 1794 3294 7639 13964 42543 The Sewer Department during the year 1933 laid six hundred and eighty feet of fifteen-inch pipe, and constructed two manholes on Osgood Street from the East Side Trunk Sewer to Stevens Corner and to the High School, under the provisions of the Civil Works Administration. A total of four connections totaling two hundred and thirty feet were made between buildings and the main sewers. Six old particular sewers were relaid, all because of trouble with roots. The entire sewerage system was TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. ~39 flushed during March and April. One new manhole was con- structed on Bruce Street, and twelve others were raised to the grade of the highways. The East Side Trunk Sewer was frequently inspected, and in October considerable necessary backfilling of the old ditch was done. It is recommended that a 10-inch sewer be constructed on Park Street to take care of the dwellings there, especially the Franklin School, and that an 8-inch sewer be constructed on Court Street to take care of the dwellings there. Further extensions of the sewerage system in 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. Park Department The Center Common, Training Grounds, Memorial Park~ Historical Society Plot and Triangles have been maintained as usual. Special attention was given to Memorial Park where most of the shrub beds have become so crowded and so fully grown that repeated shearing was necessary to keep them to any reasonable proportions. Accordingly the three beds at the corner of Greene and Davis Streets, and two at the corner of Main Street and Parkway were removed entirely, In the first beds new shrubs were planted, and in the later ones shrubs were thinned out from the rest of the Park and replanted. The improvement has been very favorably com- mented on both from the viewpoint of safer automobile traffic and of improved appearance. Trees were thinned out from the Historical Society Plot and the large triangle at the Center. A maple was replanted in the former, and an elm tree in the latter, The improved appearance and benefit to the remaining trees in the above plots is apparent. The entire triangle at the corner of Milk and Chestnut Streets was replanted, and the corners rounded off. It is recommended that a larger appropriation be made for the Park Department in order that more much needed replacements be made at the Memorial Park, and that the improvements made in the Parks and Triangles in past years at considerable expense will not be lost. ANNUAL REPORT Public Works Administration Under the provisions of the Public Works Administra- tion of the National Industrial Recovery Act an application of the Board of Public Works to extend the Town Water Works system by making the following connections in the lines of main piping, namely: through Marbleridge Road, from Salem Street to the present terminus; through Chest- nut Street, from Hillside Road to Rea Street; through Her- rick Road from present terminus to present terminus; through Buckingham Road, from Middlesex Street to pres- ent terminus; through Perley Road, from High Street to present terminus; through Wiley Court, from Water Street to present terminus; through Troy Road, from Thorndike Road to present terminus; requiring a total of 6260 feet of 6-inch pipe and 500 feet of 8-inch water pipe; was approved on October 6, 1933 by the Massachusetts Emergency Finance Board. The application was approved by the Public Works Administration in Washington, November 8, 1933. On No- vember 13, 1933, work was started on the Marbleridge Road connection. Fourteen hundred and ten feet of six-inch main with three six-inch gates and one hydrant were completed on December 13, 1933. The formal grant agreement by which the Town will receive not over $4300.00 was signed on November 27, 1933, by the officials of the Town and on December 20, 1933, by Mr. Harold L. Ickes for the Public Works Administration. The delay of the Federal authori- ties in signing the Grant Agreement caused a brief halt in the Work.' The expenditures on the project to December 31 1933, are included in this report. Civil Works Administration Under the provisions of the Civil Works Administration of the National Industrial Recovery Act two projects were approved by the State C.W.A. for conduct by the Board of Public Works. Project No. 236--Construction of a fifteen- inch sewer on Osgood StreeS--recommended by the Board of Public Works since 1931 was approved November 27, 1933, and work was started November 28, 1933. This long needed sewer extension is an asset not only to the section of the ToWn in which it is located, but also to every atten- dant at the Itigh School in removing an unsanitary sewer- age condition ,there. The estimated cost of the project is $14,291.50 of which the C.W.A. will supply $11,349.50. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 141 Project No, 2033--Finding and plotting existing grades on three miles of existing sanitary sewers constructed in North Andover prior to 1908--was also approved by the State C.W.A. The project has long been contemplated by the present Superintendent and affords an opportunity to have the Sewer Department records equal the already fine ones existing in the Water Department. The estimated cost of the project is $535.63 of which the C.W.A. will furnish $410.63. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM B. DUFFY, Superintendent.

CHARLES T. WILDE, Chairman, ANNIE L. SARGENT, DR. FRED C. ATKINSON, School Committee. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 155 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS REPORT January 23, 1934. To the School Committee of North Andover, Mass.: The following is respectfully submitted to you as my seventh annual report as superintendent of schools in this town. Farnham School Only Rural School Now Open The one-room rural schools in Massachusetts are being closed at the rate of many a year. In this town sessions were disc(~ntinued in the River School, 1250 Osgood St., after June 1907, in the Pond School, corner of Winter and South Bradford Sts., after June 1929, and in the Kimball School, 1428 Salem St., after June, 1933. Pupils from these schools are transported to the village schools in a motor bus. The Farnham School, corner of Johnson St. and Salem Turn- pike is the only rural school now used. A majority of parents in that district last summer approved a proposal to close that school. The Pond School was sold at auction last fall. Nursery School Taught by Teachers Otherwise Unemployed The Federal Emergency Relief Administration granted this School Department approximately $100 a month for use in a project that would furnish work to unemployed teach- ers. For this purpose the School Committee voted to open a so-called Nursery School class beginning January 9, 1934. The sessions are held upstairs in the Thomson School £rom 10:15 A.M. to 3:15 P.M., a lunch being served at noon. At this time about 20 pupils are enrolled between the ages of three and six years. I56 ANNUAL REPORT In enrolling pupils preference was given to pupils from homes hard hit by the depression. The teachers are Misses Adela Dainowski, and Dorothy Michelmore, and Miss Clara Curley serves as nutritionist. Miss Mary Cassidy is pre- pared as an alternate teacher. All of the staff were given a short intensive course of training for this work. The Purpose of a Nursery School Among the purposes of a nursery school are improve- ment of the children's health, solution of behavior problems, development of muscular control, self-reliance, and desirable social habits. The daily program includes indoor play, out- door play, rest and naps, toilet and washing, music, stories and conversation. This is also called a Pre-School Center. The Need of a New Junior High School Building In 1916 there were 90 pupils in Johnson High School, and as the building was badly crowded, it was then enlarged to accommodate 275 pupils. As the enrollment has grown to 375 there are now about 100 pupils without desks. If a new junior high school building were erected, it should accommodate the Freshman class of 120 pupils together with grades VII and VIII making a total enrollment of about 365. This would leave about 260 Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors to be accommodated in Johnson High School. The Town Should Promptly Buy a Junior High School Site This town is fortunate in that there are available in the central parts of the village for school sites or playgrounds several large lots of land that have not as yet been cut up into house lots and settled. It would probably be economy and wise foresight for the town to purchase such a site sev- eral acres in size in the near future, rather than delay until some lots were sold off, or tenements build upon them. Until a school was erected the site could be used as a playground for the younger boys. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. ~57 North Andover Salaries About Average or Below The average salary o£ our elementary teachers is $1337 which is about average for towns of this size. The average for our high school teachers is $1451 which is below average for towns of this size. For our elementary principals the average is $1701 and that is below the average for towns of this size. The $2520 salary of the high school principal is $190 below the average of the 42 Massachusetts towns with a population between 5,000 and 10,000. The Superintendent receives $3600 which is $98 below the average of the 42 towns with a population between 5,000 and 10~000. The above figures are the net salaries after deducting the 10% salary cut which went into effect last April. Discontinuing Cuts Will Not ,Change Salary Relations Since similar reductions were general throughout the state, local salaries for all of the above mentioned groups bore the same relation to the salaries in other towns before the salary cut as they do now. And to keep thai relation in the future, salary cuts here will have to be discontinued as soon as in the other towns. Beginning January 1, 1934 salary cuts were discontinued in the cities of Westfield, Gloucester, Lynn, Beverly, Taunton, Waltham, Peabody, North Adam's, and also in several towns. A rapid rise in the cost of living is predicted by many. We Are Getting a Lot for Our Money The annual reports for 1932 of public utility companies indicate that the average annual per capita cost of elec- tricity, gas and telephones was $14.50, $7, and $5 respec- tively. In North Andover with a population of about 7,000 the annual cost of those respective services to North An- dover people would be about $101,500, $49,000 and $35,000. On that basis compare the following 1932 expenses of North Andover people: I58 $101,500 Electricity 49,000 Gas 35,000 Telephones $185,500 Total ANNUAL REPORT $109,178 School Departmen~ 62,616 Highway Department~ 11,999 Police Department $183,793 TotaI : For the cost of our electricity, gas and telephones near- Iy all of our children are furnished an education from grade I through the high school, our roads, bridges and sidewalks are cared for, our town is provided w/th traffic guidance and police protection. Does not that indicate that there are few ways in which we could get as much ~or each dollar as we can for the money we pay out in taxes ? While our whole program of public education costs us about the same as our electricity, we are very much more sensitive to and conscious of the costs of education. Prob- ably the reasons are: 1--Our tax bill is paid in one big annual charge, while our electric bills are paid in 12 easy monthly in- stallments. 2--The depression and the continued protestations of the financially conservative have tended to get people to believing that tax money is for the most part wasted, that any tax rate is too high, and that the budget of even a prudent School Com- mittee must be too large. .School taxes are of course harder to pay in these times, but they ought to be easier to pay than our electric bills if we bear in mind the purposes of our schools and the services they render. Our Schooi CoSts About Average for Towns of This Size~ The school cost figures for the year 1932 (the latest available) as published by the State Department of Educa- tion are given below. Included are the 16 towns with a population of 6,500 to 7,500 and the nearby town of Andover.

Hadley 3.4% Maynard 4.2 % Concord 4.4% The above tables show in several ways the relative bur- den of local school support. North Andover is be~tter than average in these four: 1--An unusually small proportion of local taxes goes to school costs. 2--The town debt is small. 3--The town is well-to-do, having a valuation of $6,326 per person. 4- The total appropriation for school support is below average. North Andover's position is poorer than average in these two: 1--The local tax rate is high. 2--The per pupil cost is higher than the' average of this group of towns, but over 10% lower than the average in the whole State. TOWN OF NORTH' ANDOVER, MASS. C.W.A. Projects for Unemployed The School Department has had eight projects approved by the £edera] Civil Works Administration. The purpose of these projects is primarily to provide work for unemployed. The total estimated cost of these projects $5,068 of which the School Department expects to pay about $1,000~ Of this last amount about $800 is for materials and $200 for labor. The federal government bears the remaining $4,000 of the cost. These projects and their estimated costs are as follows: $1,668 738 488 Painting two-thirds interior of High School. Painting interior of Thomson School. Connecting high school sewer to new Osgood St. Sewer. 535 Painting sashes, doors, basements of schools. 962 Painting exterior Old Bradstreet, Union, Frank- lin, Farnham Schools. 437 Connecting high school gutter pipes with Osgood St. drain. 120 Vocational and Educational Survey. '120 Eight weeks clerical help for high school prin- cipal and school nurse. The successful carrying on of the sewer and drainage projects was due in a great measure to the assistance of William B. Duffy, Supt. of Public Works and by that De- partment. Pupils Score Well in Standard Tests Last spring the Metropolitan Achievement Test, Prim- ary Form A was given to all pupils in Grade I, the Thorndike Reading Scale, Form 3, in Grade VI, and the Modern School Achievement Tests, Form 3, in all other elementary grades. 623 pupils or 66 % scored as high or higher than the stand- ard average for their ages. 503 or 53% equalled or ex- ceeded the standard average for their grades. 1030 Visit Evening Sessions During Education Week in November the elementary I62 ANNUAL REPORT schools were in session about an hour and a quarter during one evening. The purpose was to give parents a better op- portunity to visit the schools. About 1,030 different persons visited the classrooms at that time. Our Schools Emphasize the Fundamentals One's poor health is likely to be due to a lack of training in hygiene, the untidy and noisy home due to a lack of train- ing in household problems and arts, unsatisfactory clothing to a lack of training in the purchasing, making and repair of clothing, and one's: unhappiness may be due to lack of training for leisure time or in problems of family relation- ship, etc. The fundamentals of modern education include those school subjects and activities which prepare one to deal with such life problems as those mentioned above. Such subjects include hygiene, physical education, family budget- ing, marketing, interior decorating, care and selection of clothing, dietetics, child care, family relationships, character training, civies, economics, international relations, sociology, each with a background of training in English and science. These subjects are fundamental to an adequate preparation for a successful life in modern society, and all except physi- cal education are provided in the program of studies for North Andover Schools. Advice on Public Education from the Greater and from the Lesser "... Unless school costs are further reduced the day will come when pupils will have to be dismissed for indefinite periods and the windows of our schools boarded up .... " , in a Boston newspaper. "When educators and the legislatures come to realize the need of further savings in every department, our school and other budgets will show a decrease which would have appeared sensational in any other period .... " , in a Boston newspaper. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. ~ 63 --3-- "Getting down to earth in education would result in a reduction in tax rate of $2.50..." , in s Boston newspaper. On the Other Hand "There never was a time in the history of America when education was so vital to us as a nation and so essen- tial to us as citizens .... There is an enemy within the gate. It is being urged that we are spending too much money on education; that we are over-educated; that the schools are full of frills and fads and fancies that do our youth more harm than good; that all the education that is necessary for our children is a grounding in the three R's. Those who would counsel thus would turn the clock back more than 300 years." Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of Interior. "We owe it to our country that there should be no im- pairment of education, sustaining as it does citizenship, bringing as it does service of incalculable worth to the next generation .... There should be no curtailment of the schools ...." David I. Walsh, U. S. Senator. "Our nation faces the acute responsibility of providing a right-of-way for the American child .... There is no safety for our republic without the education of our youth. That is the first charge upon all citizens and local governments. ... The proper care and training of our children is more im- portant than any other process that is carried on by our government." Herbert Hoover, former U. S. President. In Closing It is a pleasure to report the continued loyal and pro- fessional spirit of our teaching staff and the other employees I64 ANNUAL REPORT of the department. So far as I am able to judge their morale has continued good during this year of depression, though the financial strain upon some who have severa] dependents has been great. It is also a pleasure to repeat my apprecia- tion of general support and good advice that you as mem- bers of the School Committee have rendered me. It has added greatly to the enjoyment of my work. May I call your attention to the reports and statistics which follow. Respectfully submitted, FRED E. PITKIN, Superintendent of Schools. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. Summary of the Report of the Music Supervisor MISS FLORA L. RICHMOND The Music Department acknowledges with gratitude a Victrola with records presented to the Merrimack School by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest C. Westbrooke, 48 Milton St. This is a valuable addition to the musical equipment of that school. "In the Music Appreciation Course the Memory Contest prize was won by the eighth grade in the Albert Thomson School, the teacher of which was Mrs. Zetta E. D. Myatt. "At the Johnson High School, besides the regular chorus instruction, there are a Girls' Glee Club, a Boys' Glee Club, and an Orchestra. The time allotted is extremely limited for so many organizations, but e~ch fills a much needed place in the school life. "In the elementary schools the work progresses under the daily instruction of the teachers with the result that both the boys and the girls enjoy their singing and seem to have a special gift for it. "In grades VII and VIII we frequently have special music programs. The pupils themselves plan and prepare a brief program which they present before their own room. All of the programs have been good, and some have been of special merit. It develops the pupils to take the initiative, and they especially enjoy it." Summary of the Report of the Art Supervisor MISS OLIVE BUTLER "People are more and more becoming interested in Art, This is shown by the large number of art lending libraries, both for art books and for pictures, the evening school offer- ings of art study, and the art exhibits shown in museums, libraries, and schools. Art classes are being organized in all the larger cities for the unemployed. Men and women are entering these classes as an interesting avocation, while many advanced classes are organized for professional workers. In a recent competition held for amateurs 1115 contestants entered from 36 states. Among the numbers were a ckrpenter, an iron worker, a waiter, a governess, a postman and a preacher. r66 gNNUAL REPORT "Many stores such as Filene Company and Jordarr. Marsh Company of Boston have allowed art departments of our schools to hold exhibits in their windows. This brings the work of the schools before the public in a different way. "During the depression we learn to appreciate beauty where it is provided by nature at no expense to us. Germany has done what "culture" in America has been vainly trying to do for many years. It has abolished billboards along the: country sides. Re-awakened enthusiasm of the youth for science, art and education must extend beyond the class- room to the people at large. "The child by nature is unprejudiced in his notions of how things should be. He shares with the master artist his childlike wonder at the universe. We should encourage his idea and help him develop without hindrance the invaluable habit of expressing himself in the oldest language--draw- ing.'' REPORT OF JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL To the Superintendent of Schools: I submit to you the following as my second annual re- port. On October 1st of this year Johnson High School had an enrollment of 373 pupils. In reviewing past records I find this t~ be an increase of approximately 50% during th~ past decade. From present indications our enrollment in September 1935 will exceed the four hundred mark. The total number of desks in our building is 275. During the last six years the number of pupils gradu- ated per year has increased from 39 to 62, and this year our graduating class will exceed 70. This fact tends to prove that pupils are remaining in school for a Ionger period than formerly. This year we have been fortunate in having no changes in our teaching staff. During the past twelve months sev- eral of our faculty have taken advanced educational courses, two studying during the summer at Oxford University, Eng- land. This is adequate proof that our staff is progressive. In addition to regular teaching duties, each member of our faculty has been connected with one or more extra curricula activities in the field of clubs, athletics, assemblies, drama- tics or publications. Furthermore a gu/dance program was TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER MASS. inaugurated las'c May, in which all teachers of our school *cook an active part in assisting pupils to make wise subject Elections for their next term. The process of curriculum ~*evision was continued this year. The number of courses in Bookkeeping and Stenog- ~raphy have been decreased, American History has~ been changed from the fourth to the third year, and courses in advanced Busines Training and Office Practice have been added. Other changes are contemplated as soon as condi- tions permit. Our remodeled library, which I mentioned in my last report has proved of great assistance to pupils in their ref- erence work. We have at present about 800 volumes, each cf which pertains directly to student interests and activities. Under the efficient guidance of Miss Edith Pierce our student publications have prospered. During the last year our bi-monthly publication the "Journal" has been forced to share interest with two new vublications, the Senior Yearbook and the "Journal News Sheet", a small newspaper of student activities. Successful seasons have been enjoyed by the boys athletic teams supervised by Walter R. Mitchell, and the girls baske'c ball team which once again was in charge of Miss Dorothy Colburn and Miss Glenna Kelly. Large num- bers have reported for all teams and we have continued the policy of retaining on our squads as many as could be effi- ciently handled. Gym Classes for girls are being conducted this term under the capable direction of Miss Mildred Schruender, a recent graduate of this school. The Student Council has passed through a successful year, and from it several valuable suggestions have been received which have assisted in the orderly and e~cient con- duct of our school. As usual, we have received splendid reports from col- leges to which our pupils have gone this fall. John J. Phelan, Jr., one of last year's graduates was awarded the scholar- ship of the Harvard Club of Andover. Miss Jean Barker, valedictorian of last year has been elected vice-president of her class at Jackson College. At least two other graduates of this school have been recently reported on college honor rolls. Wi'ch pride we point to the fact that our pupils have been uniformly successful in over 40 different colleges at which they have matriculated directly from this school dur- ing the past ten years. 168 ANNUAL REPORT It would be an extreme pleasure to have more parents visit our school and acquaint themselves with its varied ac- tivities. Accordingly, I extend a hearty invitation to all parents to visit us at any time. This report would not be complete without a sincere ex- pression of thanks to the school committee, to you Mr. Su- perintendent, and to my splendid teaching staff for the loyal spirit of cooperation and helpfulness during the difficult year just past.
