(Adopted by the Board of Selectmen, January 13, 1947) 52 REPORT OF' THE MOTH AND TREE DEl:rt. INSECT PEST [ The insect pest condition this year hds been good, except f'or the heavy infestation of the Berch Leaf Miner, which was very active all over the state. There was some light feeding by the Elm Leaf Beetle, Tent Caterpillar and the Fall Web Worm. This department sprayed ail the streets in town as usual We also did $250.00 worth of private spraying. TREES This year this Department removed 45 trees by request and other reasor/s, such as blocking driveways, obstructing side walks and new home building. We also trimmed and removed a large number of Ehn trees to stop thc spread of the Dutch Elm disease. The trees on a number of streets have been cared for by rernoving dead wood, low hanging branches, limbs having been removed that were rubbing on houses and their roofs. Forty-eight trees were planted this year. i~ost of these trees were planted on streets where there are new homes. Brush cutting was done as usual on country roads, and blind corners. DUTCH ELM DISEASE The Dutch Elm disease is spreading rapidly throughout the State. This year 64 diseased Ehn trees had to be removed. This is an increase of 21 trees over last year. These trees ranged 6 inches in D. B. H. to 5 feet, 6 inches. They were all removed and hauled to the dump and burned. The Elm was sprayed three times to control the spread of the Elms Bark Beetle, who is the carrier of the Dutch Elm disease. The first spray is a dormant spray using 12% D. D. T. The,next two sprays, four or fiYe weeks later, we use 6% D. D. T. TOWN FOREST This year we tried the new method of trimming the town forest, by removing every third row to let in more light. By this way of thinning we cut down approximately 1,150 trees.

Twenty- o]ae six-inch gate valves were placed. The water main system now consists of fifty-seven and fifty-five hundredths miles of main pipe, two twelve-inch check valves, twelve twelve-inch gates, thirteen ten-inch gates, sixty-four eight-inch gates and six hundred and two six-inch gate valves and three hundred and forty-gevcn public fire hydrants. The following water mains were placed in 1951: Putnam Road from Hamilton Road toward Holbrook Road one hundred t~venty-seven feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve; Lyman Road from previous terminus to Silsbee Road seventy- txvo feet of six-inch pipe; Silsbee Road from Lyman Road two hundred seventy-one feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve; Woodbridgc Road from Greene Street to Tavern Road six hundred and sixty-five feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve. Six-inch gate valves were placed on the following hydrant branches: Parker Street at Fanlkner Road and the hydrant moved back five feet, Marblehead Street at Union Street, High Street at Chadwick Street, at 192 High Street, at 146 High Street, at 104 High Street, at 32 Second Street, Great Pond Road at South Bradford Street, at 1679 0sgood Street, May Street at Hodges Street, at 40 Belmont Street and at 230 Andover Street. In addition to the gate on the hydrant branch new hydrants replaced the obsolete hy- drants at Massachusetts Avenue near Fernwood Street, South Bradford Street at Winter Street, at 429 Waverly Road and at 470 Johnson Street. Six-inch gate valves were placed on the mains on Greene Street at Waverly Road and on Johnson Street at Rea Street. The system of water main pipes is listed according %0 size as follows: SIZE OF PIPE (INCHES) 14 12 10 8 6 LENGT/l OF PIPE (FEET) ?88 20828 8095 42862 231336 There were installed during 1951, forty-six new services, twenty-five less than last yea~ and the smallest number since 1946. Twenty-seven old services were either wholly or par- tially renewed. Sixty-four new meters were installed and two hundred and seventy-five old meters, including ten frozen meters, were inspected and repaired. There were thirty-eight service leaks, two joint leaks and two hydrants broken by automobiles. All hydrants were inspected and repaired where ncessary. Thc following hydrants were raised with one foot sections: May at /lodges Street, Maple at Second Street, Beverly at Perry Street, 'at 28 Harold Street, Putnam at Mifflin Drive, Bradstreet at Parkway, Russell Street and 1628 80 Osgood Street. Gate valves and valve boxes were inspected and repaired. A spare set of impellers was purchased for the new War- ten Centrifugal Pump. The cost per million gallons for pump- ing water for power and labor was $45.19 compared wi~h $60.57 for labor and coal in 1949, the last full year of steam pumping operation. The road from Great Pond Road to the Pumping Station was resurfaced with the cooperation of Highway Sur- veyor Ira D. Carry. The eight-inch water mains in the reservoir right-of-~vay from Johnson Street to the Reservoir and on Andover Street from Chestnut Street to 230 Andover Street amounting to twenty-four hundred and thirty-one feet xvere cleaned and cement lined in place by the Centriline Corporation in continuation of the rehabilitation program started in 1946 for the 53 year old water system. One hundred and eighty boat registration plates ~vere issued and two hundred and eighty-three residents were granted permits to boat and fish in Lake Cochichewiek. En- forcement of the regulations of the State Department of Public Health for preventing the pollution and securing the sanitary protection of the water of ]bake Cochiehewiek, source of our water supply, has become serious with the increasing use of the lake for recreational purposes., The reservoirs were in- spected by the County Engineer as required by the General Laws and found to be in satisfactory e0ndition. Constant bacterial examinations of the water have been made by the Department of Public Health and the water found to be satis- factory. Quarterly inspection of the double cheek valve installations between the public water supply and other sources of supply for industrial use only have been made in cooperation with the Department of Public Health of the Commonwealth. The recommendations of the New England Fire Insurance Rating Assoeiation, made in 1942, are repeated as follows: Recommended Mains Size Along 16" Great Pond, Marblerldge Rds. 12" Johnson and Wurnplke St8. 12" Chestnut St., Hillside 8" OsgOOd 12" to Reservoir Andover St. Chestnut St. Dartmouth Margato St. @reen~ St. Ma~.

It was used by the Public Works, ,Street Depart- ment and Tree Warden for backfilling ditches, removing excess fill, loading trees, clearing the overgrown sides of the roads, laying water pipe, setting valves and hydrants, spreading.loam, clearing and loading snow, loading sand trucks. SEWER DEPARTMENT The North Andover Sewerage System is designed to flow in three divisions; the East Side Drainage Area with its trunk sewer following Coehichewick Broqk from Lake Cochichewlck to the Merrimack River; the West Side Drainage Area with its trunk sewer on Massachusetts Avenue and along the Shaw- sheen River to the Merrimack River; the Central Drainage Area bounded by Waverly Road, Middlesex and Water Streets, with trunk sewer on Waver]y Road, Water Street, and Main Street to the Merrinmck Street, There are twenty-one and eight tenths mi]es of main sewers in the North Andover Sewerage system with fourteen hundred and seventy-eight sewer connections. The main sewers are listed according to size as foIlows: SIZE OF SEWERS (INCHES) 24 20 18 15 12 10 8 6 LENGTH OF SEWERS (FEET) 4926 822 8450 3429 3214 16579 28440 48268 The following main sewers were constructed in 1951: Putnam Road from Hamilton Road, one hundred and fifteen feet of eight-inch pipe and one manhole; Furber Avenue, from Wentworth Avenue to Moody Street, three hundred seventy- two feet of eight-inch pipe and two manholes; Moody Street, from Furber Avenue, thirty feet of eight-inch pipe. The followlng sewers wcre constructed by John D. Driscoll of ' North Alxdover, the low bidder, Tavern Road, from Bradstreet Road to Woodbridge Road, three hundred and fifteen feet of ten-inch pipe and two manholes; Woodbridge Road, from Tavern Road to Greene Street, five hundred and sixty-two feet of eight-inch pipe and three manholes; Silsbee Road, from Ilerrick Road to Lyman Road, five hundred eighty-two feet of eight-inch pipe and two manholes. Thirty connections, totaling nineteen hundred and thirty- nine feet ,*'ere laid between buildings and nmin sewers. Thirty- seven particular sewers, most of them blocked by roots, were cleared. All main sewers were flushed and cleaned in the spring as usual, while fifteen main sewers partially blocked by roots were inspected and cleared several times. The East Side Trunk 83 sewer from Phillips Court to Osgood Street was cleared with a sewer cleaning outfit borrowed from Watertown. The following recommendations are made in order that the sewerage system may be improved in accordance with a definite program to promote the health and convenience of the people of the town. The sewer on Osgood Street be extended from Phillips Brooks Road to Andover Street. The East Side Trunk Sewer be extended from Stevens Street at Ilarkaway Road in order to take care of the Bathing Beach and the Center. Further extensions of the sewerage system on the West Side Trunk Drainage area must await the extension of the West Side Trunk sewer from Massachusetts Avenue south- erly 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 bee~ constructed as a separate system malting 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 use, and the con- ~clnued use of the sewers for this pm-pose will eventually lead to unsanitary conditions and considerable expense to the town, especially if the proposed district sewage disposal plant is constructed and North Andover's sewerage disposed of in that manner. Surface drains have been provided in many locations and eau be in many others to take care of such drainage without subsequent damage or expense. PARK DEPARTMENT The Park system now consists of the Center Common o£ 3.2 acres, Training Grmmds of 1.9 acres, Memorial Park of 2.7 acres, Old Burying Ground oi 1.1 acres and lhe smaller Historical Society Plot, Farrington Burying Ground and twenty small plots at street intersections. All the above parks were maintained as usual. Thc trees on Memorial Park and Center Common were sprayed by Tree Warden John J. Connors. An Idea.1 Power Mower with two 30-ineh entting units, replaced by the Massey-ltarris tractor and gang mower, was given to the School Department without expense to them. The impossibility of properly maintaining a park and allowing it to be used as a playground is being demonstrated again at Memorial Park. It is recommended that other sites be secured for playgrounds if the present parks developed over the past twenty-five years by the town, the North Andover Improvement Society, the Garden Club and private persons are not to be damaged and their attractiveness destroyed. 84 PLAYGROUND DEPARTMENT The recreational areas in ?,he Playground system now consist of Grogans Field 4.7 acres, Drummond Field 3.7 acres, American Legion Bathing Beach 1.4 acres and Waverly Play- ground 4.7 acres. Loam, seed and £crtilizer were placed on Grogans Field and a new sand box provided. The floor and walls of the west side o£ the fieldhouse at Grogans Field were painted by department labor. A storage locker was constructed at Drummond Feld. The drain at Drummond Field was con- tinued 35 feet and an additional catch basin installed so that the playing field is now available for use in the early spring instead 0£ the middle o£ the summer. One set of six swings, two stratosphere see saws, a sand box and a set of basketball standards were set up at Waverly Playground. Thirteen maple trees were planted along the Marblehead and Dana Street lines. The Marbi~ehcad Street level at Waverly Play- ground was covered with material from ,the sides of the roads secured from tl~e Highway Department and seed planted so that the dust from the area was no longer troublesome. The Massachusetts Avenue level was harrQwed, seeded and roiled and a baseball diamond laid out. Through the cooperation of John R. l~cEvoy in supplying material the enbankment adjoin- ing his property was properly shaped and graded. Wire fences were erected along Massachusetts Avenue by G. A. Nesbitt and Sons of Methuen, the low bidder, and along the enbankments by department labor. A substantial shelter was provided by an anonymous donor to further carry on the improvement of this increasingly popular recreational area. The American Legion Barking Beach was operated from June 25 to September 3 from 9:30 A.M. to dark with two li£e guards always present. S~vimming classes were conducted by Richard C. Carvell, Red Cross swimming instructor with over one hundred registered for instructions. The skating rinks at Drummond Field and the Training Ground were extensively used. The Department of Public Health of the Commonwealth examined the beach at our request and stated that the bath house and toilet facilities were adequate and that the water was of suitable quality and safe for public bathing. A very successful swimming meet under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2104 was held at the end of the season. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM B.

Much sand was nsed during the winter because of thc hazardous driving conditions caused by the sleet and ice. Sand boxes were repaired and more boxes made and placed at dangerous intersections. The Refuse Disposal collections have been greatly increased due to thc extensive building in sections of the town. The following streets were oiled and sanded: Andover Street, Academy Road, Applet. on Street, Barker Street, Boston Street, Brewster Street, Bunkerhill Street, Chadwick Street, Clark Street, Chestnut Street, Court Street, Concord Street, Brook Street, Baldwin Street, Dufton Court, Dale Street, Davis Street, East Water Street, section of Francis Street, Farnmn Street, Gray Street, Highland Terrace, IIew]tt Avenne, Har- wood Street, Hamilton Road, Holbrook Road, Iterriek Road~ Inglewood Street, Lexington Street, Lincoln Street, Margate Road, Faulkner Road, Pembrook Road, Parker Street, Russell Street, Saltonstall Road, School Street, Salem Street to Mid¢lle- ton Line, South Bradford Street, Prospect Street, Third Street, Tyler Road, Tolland Road, Wilson Road, Smnmec Street and Waverley Road, Lorraine Avenue, Stiles Street, Pleasant Street from Chickering Road to Stevens Street, Rosedale Avenue, Wood Lane, Minute Avenue, Longwood Avenue, Milk Street, Johnson Street~ Marblerldge Road.

Six hundred dollars was spent from the General l~aintenanee appropriation to put this road in condition. The bridge at Riverview Street was rebuilt as it had become very dangerous and unsafe to travel over. At Stevens Mill pond, the stone wall was completely rebuilt as the broken sto,~e nnder the bridge had made it m~safe for the heavy trucks to travel to the mill. 104 Article No. 25- Shaping, Grading, Graveling and Oiling Foster Street On this street, the money appropriated was used to widen and gravel the road.

During the year 1951, a total of 55,066 books, magazines, pamphlets, records, pictures and maps were circulated from the library. This is 6.5 per capita based on the 1950 census figures. These were issued from the main library, the schools and the Community Center library. The figures reflect the number of books actually charged out to individuals and does not include the use made of books by people who read in the library. Tl~e number of persons using reference material is increasing constantly. We find that we are serving students from Merrimack College as well as students who attend college in Boston and elsewhere. A University Extcntion course in "Writing for Women" was conducted at the library last spring. The Great Books discussion group is in its third year of readings. It is one of nine such groups in Massachusetts. An outstanding new activity inaugurated during the year ~s the exhibiting of a collection of masterpieces of painting. These paintings add to the beauty of the rooms and also draw many visitors to the library. Three very large pa~intings have 112 been borrowed from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston on an indefinite loan. The oldest of these is the magnificent canvas by Sir Anthony Van Dyck which is a portrait of Charles I of E~gland with his wife and two children. In the same room is a beantiful painting of roosters, hens, ducks, peacocks and dove, in a picturesque landscape, by Melchior d'Hondecoeter. The third of these pictures is a spectacular painting by the famous American master of Colonial times, John Singleton Copley. It portrays Wellington and his sides on horseback in an episode of the Peninsula ¥~Tar. These three paintings form a nucleus around which other pictures 'are gathered and changed from time to time. A collection o5 eight notable American works of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries which were exhibited for several months were lent by the Addison Gallery of A~neriean Art at Phillips Academy, An~ dover. At the present time the library is exhibiting seven paintings of twentieth century painters. These are also lent by the Addison Gallery of American Art. The children's department has continued to have special events for the children. 1427 children have attended twenty- four showings of'nine different, movie programs. 718 children have been present at twenty-one story hours. 129 grade school pupils have visited the Children's room xvith their teachers. The Children's librarian has made fourteen visits to school classrooms. The vacation reading club enrolled seventy-four members of which number, twenty-five read and reported on five or more books. There were seventeen different displays in thc display case. During Book Week in November, fifty-seven children entered in a contest to identify storybook characters from pictures. The week was also an occasion for displaying new books. We have continued to borrow books not in oar own collec- tion from neighboring libraries and from the Division of Public Libraries. Again we wish to express our thanks to the many dividuals who have made gifts of books to the library during the year. 159 suet gifts were made during 1951. A great sorrow to the trustees and staff was the death on November 1 of Mrs. John P. Tyler, one of the library's principal benefactors. The resolution adopted by the trustees in regard to Mrs. Tyler's death is included in this report. The librarian is grateful to the Board of Trustees, the staff and the janitor for their' ever ready helpfulness and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, MARION F.

JOHN F. TYLER Whereas ]~[rs. John tv. Tyler, l~Ionorary Life Member of the Board of Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library, died on November 1, 1951, Be it Resolved that we, the members of thc Board of Trustees, in appreciation of her continued interest in this institution from the time it was founded until her death, inscribe in the pages of our records this memorial. Mary Osgood Stevens Tyler was born in North Andover on May 29, 1854, a descendent of John Stevens of Caversham, England, who settled in North Andover about 1643. I:Ier father, the Honorable Moses T. Stevens, of the seventh generation of the family in North Andover, provided for the erection of this building in ]904 as a gift to the town "for a Library and Historical Records", in memory of his parents, Nathaniel and ]:Iarriet Hale Stevens. In accordance ~vith the terms of Mr. Stevcn's gift, Mrs. Tyle'r, two of her brothers, and four other persons, were appointed trustees. Mrs. Tyler served as a trustee for forty-four years, and was the last surviving mem- ber of the original board. She resigned in 1948 at the age of ninety-four. She was then elected an honorary life member of the board, and died three years later at the age of ninety- seven. Mrs. Tyler began her active service to the library before the building was erected as oneof the three members of the Committee on Location and Grounds. This committee at first considered a site owned by Mr. J. NI. Stone on the opposite side of Green Street, but finally decided on the present location, then known as the Tavern Lot. ~v'hen thc building was com- pleted, Mrs. Tyler met with the other trustees at the library on November 4, 1907 for the presentation of thc deed to the Selectmen, welcoming the public to the new building au hour ]ater. A librarian had already been engaged. Earlier in the same year Mrs. Tyler and Miss Annie L. Sargent, also a trustee and principal of the North Andover tIigh School, had been appointed a committee of two for the selection of a person qualified for the position. The wisdom of their choice was shown by the fact that ]~[JSS Elizabeth M. Pond, the first librarian, was retained in that position for twenty-one years until her resignation in 1928.. Mrs. Tyler was then, for a second time, appointed a member of a committee to obtain a librarian.' The committee in this ease made the fortunate 115 choice of Miss Marion IV. Batchelder, who completed twenty- three years of service in October o~' this year. Besides being of such conspicuous service to the library, ]Mrs. Tyler kept its affairs very much ia mind during all her years as a trustee. The records contain many instances of her thoughtfulness. She is found presenting the library with a new rug for the reading room, supplying picture hanging equipment for exhibitions in the library hail, helping to ar- range a farewell reception for the first librarian, aeging as a hostess to visiting members of the Massachusetts Library Club, Buying a book rack on wheels, or financing a series of story hours for the children given by a professional story-teller. In 1937 she joined her brothers in giving a fund of $2,300 for the renovation of the iuterior of the library building, the work being done in August of that year. Her gifts of books were numerous, including, for example, twenty volumes in 1912, ~sixty-eight ehilrlren's books in 1914, eighty-one books for young people in 1920, fifty books for children in 1926, and so on. She was naturally chosen to be one of the three original xnembers of the Book Committee, which was established in 1907. She did not serve on this committee during the first World War, nor for same thne afterwards, but accepted nomi- nation again in 1923, becoming chairman in 1927 and continuing to serve until her resignation as a trustee in 1948, thus con- eluding twenty-nine years as a member of the Book Committee. 2~[rs. Tyer's resignation did not, lessen her concern in library affairs. She kept constantly informed of the work and made frequent visits to the building. She was especially interested in the installation of the new granite front steps and platform in 1950, made possible by the generosity of the trustees of the Nathanid and Elizabeth P. Stevens Ivoundation established by her eldest brother, Nathaniel Stevens, the first chairman of ~ur board. The trustees of the fund contributed $8,000 to the undertaking, and through Mrs. Tyer's urging, the work was fittingly completed by the addition of hand railing's, especially for the benefit of the older library visitors like herself. Later in the same year came the three hundredth anni- versary exhibition honoring the first American poet, Anne Bradstrcct, one of whose fellow-villagers here was John Stevens, Mrs. Tyer's earliest ancestor in this town. As the exhibition was of national significance the library came to the attention of scholars, poets, and educators across the con- tinent. Mrs. Tyler's interest in the project was such that she arranged that the library should be provided with a suitable exhibition ease in which Anne Bradstreet material could be permanently on view. 116 An especially interesting incident that occurred recently ii_lustrates the g'reat vah~e to the library of Mrs. Tyler's experiences as one of the organizers of the institution. When the library opened in 1907 it bad a stock of about 11,000 vo/umes transferred from the former North Andover Public I:ibrary. At thc beginning of 1951. the number of books had practically doubled, totalling over 21,500 volumes. This tre- mendous increase has taxed the capacity of the library shelves. It has not, however, kept up with the demand for and use of books. In 1910 the library had a circulation of about 20,000 volumes, whereas this year, 1951, with approximately double the population of 1910, the annual circulation will be far more lhan double the circulation of 1910, totalling in the vicinity of 53,000 volumes. About a year ago Mrs. Tyler became aware of the fact that the building as now constituted had come practically to the limit o£ its capacity/'or the storage of books. However, unlike the trustees and the librarian, she was not a+~ all alarmed by this situation which to everyone else seemed to indicate a permanent limitation on the usefulness of the library to the community. Instead, by a surprisiug exercise of memory, she remarked, "You know, of course, that the original plans of the building provide for the addition of another whole level of stacks at such time as the original capacity is reached." No one had thought of this possibility, but investigation of the original blueprints proved her recollec- tion to be entirely correct. It was also discovered that the construction company which made the original installation of stacks was still in business with its own set of blueprints pertaining to this building on file. Shortly afterwards we received an estimate of the cost of the work. This board, however, decided that, in view of the fact that most of our funds permit the use only of income, it could not wisely deplete the available capital for such a large expenditure. Mrs. Tyler, knowing of this, came to our aid once more, making, only a short time before her death, a gift of $2,500 towards the cost of the new stacks, which are now on order. Even death did not end Mrs. Tyler's benefactions to the library. To have her interests continued she provided in her will that the library should receive the sum of $15,000. From this outline it is evident that Mrs. Tyler's long association with the library was not merely a matter of being a daughter of the donor, discharging a family obligation. Beyond this, she had a genuine interest in developing the value of the institution to the community; she was eager to share with others the profit and enjoyment that books afford; and she gave particular encom'agement to an appreciation of books and a love of literature among the children. 117 As Mrs. Tyler was the last surviving member o£ the orig- inal board of trustees, her death closed a chapter in the history of the library, but the example of her constant interest in the institution and her devotion to its objectives of education and enlightenment, together with her magnificent generosity, in which she herself followed the example of her father and brothers, supply the inspiration for a second chapter in our history which may well record the development of the Stevens Memorial Library into one of the most notable small libraries in the .country. in closing this report the Trustees wish to express their appreciation of thc gifts of books and the gift of money for the endowment funds received during the year. We wish further to express our appreciation of the ability of the librarian, Miss 3iarion F. Batchelder, and of her devotion to the work of constantly improving the usefulness and value of the library to the community. Our sincere thanks are also extended to the entire staff for their excellent work. I~espeetfully submitted, BUCHANAN CHARLES, Chairman GEORGE R. BARKE1Z JOHN W. COSTELLO A. MURRAY HOWE KATHERINE C.

Since that time, fourteen (14) meetings of the Council have been held to determine the general policy and organizational work of Civil Defense in North Andover. During the year 1951, $937.47 was ~pent under the direction of the Council, the bulk of this money going for the purehase of a Civil Defense radio with a selective calling attachment, badges for the auxiliary police and the maintenance of a tem- porary reporting center in the fire station. Under the administration of twelve (12) division heads, the following activities have been carried on: Seven (7) centers for the registration of evacuees and the dissemination of information have been established. Emergency housing and feeding facilities for 1,800 people have been located. Nine (9) canteen services have been located. Sixteen (16) sources of food supply have been established. A Civil Defense radio has been installed in the police station so that an emergency warning of enemy activity can be received and a warning immediately communicated to the town by means of a series of short blasts on the fire whistle lasting for three minutes. The All-Clear signal is.three one- minute blasts at long intervals. 2,500 pamphlets entitled, "Protection from Atomic Bomb- lng" have been distributed throughout the town. Civil Defense motion pictures have been shown to various groups on ten (10) occasions. A temporary first-aid center has been selected. A radiation detectitn unit made ~lp o~ the owners of Polaroid-Laud cameras has been organized. A force of auxiliary police numbering 71, has been re- cruited and trained. Identificafion badges have been issued to this group. Emergency Civil Defense routes have been laid out in North Andover, in cooperation with the Commonwealth, and control and check points have been designated and plans made for manning them. Emergency transportation for 863 people or 175 stretcher eases has been secured. Several rescue teams have been organized. Preliminary work--the recruiting of district wardens-- has been accomplished in the Warden Service. During the year, a planning committee has studied the possible effect of hostilities on North Andover and plans have been laid for the rapid expansion of the local Civil Defense I2'3 functions in the case of a worsening of the international situation. lqecruitment has proceeded to a degree consistent with world conditions and North Andover's position in relation to the Civil Defense organization of the Commonwealth. The North Andover Civil Defense organization now stands in a position where it could be quickly expanded and brought into active service in a minimuln amount of time. Respectfully submitted by the Civil Defense Council, FORBES ROCKWELL, Chairman REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS The Board held seventeen meetings during the year. Eleven were regular monthly ~neetings and six were special meetings called by the Chairman. Twelve of the meetings were Public Hearings. Sixteen applications for variances and renewals of non- conforming use permits were received by the Board. Fifteen were granted and one was denied. Tke Board wishes to express their appreciation for the cooperation given them by the citizens and oflqeials of the Town. Respectfully submitted, GREGORY MOORADKANIAN, Chairman RICHARD G.

REGAN, Associate member SAM DiMAUI~O, Associate member 124 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board Of North Andover held ten meetings during the year 1951, consisting of eight regular meetings and two special meetings. One application was received by the Board from the Sutton Hill Co. Inc., requesting preliminary approval of plans for the extension of Heath Road for approximately 475 feet from its intersection with Sutton Hill Road to Johnson Street and the revocation of the approval given Sutton Hill Road from its intersection with treath Road to Johnson Street. Tentative approval was given these preliminary plans subject to certain changes and provided that final plans be submitted for approval within one year. The Planning Board has also undertaken to have a list compiled wherein all information regarding the streets and ways of the Town will be tabulated. This list will contain such information as the dates these streets and ways were laid out, when approved, when accepted and any other per- tinent information relating to all streets in existence. The Board hopes to have this project completed during the early part of 1952. The members of the Board wish to express their appreciation for the cooperation given them by the citizens and officials of the Town. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD G: WHIPPLE, Chairman EDWIN REINItOIJD, Secretary GREGORY MOORADKANIAN LYMAN II. K1LTON, JR. NICHOLAS NICETTA 125 ANNUAL REPORT NORTH AN-DOVER HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR THE YEAR 1951 During the past year, two new members were elected to the Authority. Benard W. Bingham to replace James R. Dooiey, whose term expired and Lyman Kilton, to replace Francis Kittredge. Both Mr. Dooley and Mr. Kittredge were -~aluable mem- bers but due to other activities found it impossible to continue on the Authority. Early in the year water began entering the cellars of the Project and it beeame apparent that the condition must be corrected. This was a major problem, requiring a drain connecting M1 cellars to a pipe running on Gilbert, Baldwin and Belmont Streets entering the surface drain on Marblehead Street. The Authority was anxious to have the work finished before spring and through the splendid cooperation of the State Housing Board, approval was granted and the drain wilt soon he completed. The entire cost, of this drain, will be taken from the funds of the North Andover ltousing Authority at no cost to the Town. Wc are still bothered by surface water flowing, from Francis Street, across the Project and look forward to the installation of a gutter with a catch basin on Francis Street and another at the corner of Francis and Baldwin eonneeting with the new drain. A fence to separate the playgronnd, where it joins the back yards, a; the easterly end of the Project, would be of great value. A back stop, for the ball field, to prevent foul bails break- ing windows and also for the safety of the children would also be appreciated. The Project consists of six (6) buildings containing twenty- four (24) tenements. These were first occupied in 3tfly 1950 and 100% occupancy continued until late 1951, when we had two (2) vacancies--one tenant moved oat of town and the other moved into his own home. Both tenements were again occupied with a loss of nine (~) days. ~aeh January there is a re-examination o£ tenants income and rents are adjusted, as required by the State Housing Board. Rents are always adjusted with any change in the composition of family. 126 To be admitted to teaancy, net annual income must be below the following: Families with one or less minor dependents $3,250.00 Families with two or less minor dependents 3,375.00 Families with three or more minor dependents 3,500.00.' The average rent in December 1951 was $36.40 per month.

FINN, Town Accountant 169 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE NORTH ANDOVER SCHOOL COMMITTEE To the Citizens of North Andover: At a meeting held January 3. 1952. it was voted to submit the reporT, of the Snperintend. ent of Schools ;o the Town as the annual repor~ of the School Committee. ItON. CHARLES W. TROMBLY, Chairman l)l{. FRED C. ATKINSON MRS. TOM F. INGRAM MR. DANIEI~ J. SHINE Ml{. ROGER B. MEI~RIMAN 171 1951 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS January 3, 1952 To thc School Committee: In compliance with your regulation--and the General Laws of the Commonwealth--I submit the following report of the year 1951. It. will be the ninety-seYenth in the series of ammal reports by the School Committee, the fifty-seventh in this series by a superintendent of schools. READERS' RIGHTS Laws require the writing of reports; nothing in the western world can require the reading of reports. Last year the Town spent $1,300 on the publication of the volume of ~nual Reports ~among them the report of the School Committee. Not an extravagant sum. But if the true cost is reckoncd not in cents per copy but in dollars per reader, the Annual Reports may well rank as one of the most expensive publications of the year. Reports without readers are a waste of public money and also waste of personal energy. As rage who not only writes but reads reports and some- times likes to read them, i can report to you that interest seems to increase with age. In 1867, for exgmple, the School Building Committee of that post-war period reminded the c~tizens that the new high school, no matter where it shoed be built, would be near the residence of one scholar and far from the residences of many others. As I read this, I found myself smiling: I thought I knew thc experience which this comment illumhmted. 5~hat, in general, re!ieYes the strain of attention as we read, The personal, I suppose--glimpses into thc li;'es of others. The passages in reports ~hat bore ns are usually those that deal wiih the carefully selected "feature," painstaking high-Sghted because of its contemporary im- portance. END OF SCttOOL BI~ILDING? I find myself guilty of this offence in the report of last year. Much o fit is taken up with the opening of the Kittredge School and with the plans for the new high school not of 1867 but of (say) 1953. The overemphasisis is natural. "Can I ever get used to ~eaching again without the raeket of school building i.n my ears ?' said a teacher at the Thomson one spring' day in 1948. The dissonance of the air drill did at last leave the Thomson, and the lady and her associates have once more adapted themselves to the quiet school. But her remark~s still 172 relevant to school keeping in North Andover. Heard or un- heard, the building of schools has been the dominent theme in the school program since the Annual Town Meeting of 1946 approved the Reeves' Plan. The end is in sight. It will be here when you open a new high school to the men and women as well as the boys and girls of this Town. This general preoccupation with building problems is not to be explained as some strange psychological effect of loeetancy. Program and building are functionally related. The "little red school house" sheltered a progress of learning. The pupils were few but the floor area large, because one teacher had to meet the needs of groups at various stages of development--from those who lacked readiness to scad to those who were on the poi~t of taking final leaye of school. When schools were "graded," administrators thought of one teacher, one program, one classroom; they decided that smaller class- rooms should be more efficient. Why, then, are the classrooms in our new schools again large in area? Because we are now aware of individual differences in interest, aptitude, and development among boys and girls of about the same age. We "group" oar children within the grade, not one but even three programs of learning' may be going on at the same time in a room: To permi~ such flexibility, pupils' desks and ehMrs .are moved about. The elassrcmm in the elementary school has evolved much as the modern living-room has evolved from the Mid-Victorian parlor. What has been happenin~ in the elementary school is less significant than what is now happening in the modern high school. You are aware of this: more than a year ago you authorized a thorough study of the curriculum. You knew that this could no~ be the exclusive work of iPrineipal tlayes aud his teachers. Every one should have a VOICE--the School Oommittee alone the DE©ISION---in what the new high school should teach. PROFESSOR BIIJ~ETT "~,Vhat should be taught?" leads to another question: "How?" You have now authorized the teachers to spend the second half of this school year on the answer, which will be the course of study of the high sehooh You have arranged with Professor Roy Billett of Boston University for a %vork- shop" entitled "Improving Secondary Education in North 2xndover." Every Thursday afternoon~beginning with Feb- ruary 7~he will meet our teachers at Johnson Iligh school. Fortunately the effort to improve the curriculum need not be confined to the high school. Your arrangement with Professor Billett will permit a few teachers from the upper elementary grades to enroH. 173 SCHOOL SAVINGS PROGRAli · Leo, to whom I gave a ride home the last day of school in June, had his school bankbook in his hand. He never knew, he said, how much a person can save in a year "when your teacher keeps after you." Leo was talking about the children's savings program which has been carried on by our teachers with the help and guidance of the Andover Savings Bank. The sum total of North Andover pupils' deposits was (December 25) $28,262.25. GREEN CROSS "More than worthwhile," said a teacher of long experience. She referred to the prize contests in English composition which the Green Cross Committee of the Eclectic Club initiated last year. School vs life; much of what teachers do is frustrated by the skepticism of youngsters, who suspect that the values of the school room do not transfer at par into the values of "real life." This is especially true in our safety lessons. THANI( YOU Your professional associates--the principals, teachers, school nurse, clerks, and janitors---unite in ga-atefully ack- nowledging your nnselfish interest in the schools. Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS J. 0'BRIEN, Superintendent of Schools 174 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL January 2, 1952 To the Superintendent of Schools: I submit to you my twentieth annual report for Johnson High School. ENROLLMENT 1947 1948 1949 1950 1951 Post Graduates 2 0 3 0 0 Seniors 74 84 69 66 70 Juniors 94 78 79 71 79 Sophomores 81 82 80 79 78 Freshmen 81 89 S1 83 83 332 333 312 . 299 310 As pointed out in my last annual report, it appears that the number of pupils to be enrolled in the high school in the future will gradually increase. Last year probably represents the turning point. Present enrollment figures in the elementary schools seem to indicate that within the next ten years our high school enrollment will probably increase by fifty percent. CLASS OF 1951 Sixty-five pupils received their diplomas last June. Accord- ing to figures of our Guidance Office, twenty-one of these pupils enrolled in degree-granting colleges last September and nine others entered school for specialized training; five have entered U. S: military service, while practically all others are now employed. Of those who continued their education at colleges, an unusually large number were recipients of scholarship assistance. Listed below are those who received such aid and the source from which it was secured: Marjorie Terret $],800 Boston University Margaret Willett 300 Barbara Watts 800 Joan Nery 1,000 Joan NeW 150 Antimony Galvagua 150 Mary Ann Maynard 100 Clarence Scheipers 600 Jane Broderick 100 Pembroke College Wheaton College Merrimack College Helen S: CarveI1 Scholarship Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology St. Michael's Holy Name Society Scholarship Sea Scout Ship No'. 80 Scholarship V.F.W: Auxiliary to Post No. 2104 Commercial Scholarship 175 Jane Broderiek Richard Banks Richard Harvey Evelyn Roche Noraune Mahoney 150 Parent-Teachers Association Scholarship 50 Methodist Youth Fellowship S ch ol re, ship 50 Methodist Youth Fellowship Scholarship 100 D.A.R. Ilome Makers' Scholar- ship 100 D.A.R. Home Makers' Scholar- ship Paul Taylor 150 Suffolk University This is the largest nmnber of scholarships the school has ever been privileged to award. Several of these were received as a result of competitive examinations; others were awarded by local organizations. To those groups, which through scholar ship awards so definitely indicated their interest in the future education of our young people, the school extends its heartfelt thanks. CLASS OF ]901 An interesting sideline of the graduation exercises of June 1951 was the presence of five members of the graduating class of 1901. There were twelve grad~mtes in this class and the five who attended our exercises last June represented 'one-hundred percent of the living membem. CURRICULUM C051MiTTEE Du~'ing last year, a committee of teachers an& representa- tives of various organizations in the community completed its meetings considering curriculum revision. This Committee, of which the high school principal was chairman, had the advice and direct/on of Dr. C. Elwood Drake, Principal of Newton Public Junior College. The results of the curriculum study were published last spring and represent a course of study which much more nearly meets the needs of present-day youth. Further study is now being made and will continue to be made during the remainder of this year with the objective of im- proving, wherever possible, our high school teaching methods~ NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY A year ago our sehool ~stablished a chapter of the National Honor Society, This is an organization on a national basis which gives recognition to scholarship, leadership, character and service to pupils of high-school age. The local organization is under the guidance, and leadership of Miss Irene E. Cook of the faculty .and has taken an active part in school affairs. Students value their me~nbership in. this group to the tfighest degree, , 176 PERSONNEL CHANGES During the past year there have been no Changes in the teaching staff. HOWeVer, shortly after the close of the school year in June, Mr. William Donahue, who had been assisting' Mr. John Cushing with the janitorial work at the high school, found it necessary to relinquish his duties because of ill health. Up to the present time no replacement has been ~urnisl~ed for Mr] Donahue. BANKING PROGRAM For, several years the high school students have had the opportunity of making weekly bank deposits at the school through the cooperation of the local branch of the Andover Savings Bank. This program assists in teaching thrift and is used by a fair number of pupils. During the last school year, deposits amounted to $850. DRIVER TRAINING Dm'ing the past year; the School Committee voted to establish a course in driver training and road instruction for the pupils of the high school. This course is under the direct supervision of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles and offers twenty class periods of instruction dealing with motor~car operation..This is to be followed by actual road instruction in a dual-controlled car which has been furnished by the J. W. Robinson Co. of Lawrence. This course is being given by Mr. John V. Donovan of the high school faculty and, at present, about twenty-five pupils have completed the class- room instruction. Another group of approximately the same size will receive instruction later on cturing this year. "OPEN ttOUSE" In observance of National Education Week, the high school conducted an "Open House" for parents on the evening of November 14, 1951. Many parents availed themselves of this opportunity to visit the school and talk with various teachers. It would appear that this type of "Open House" was a very worthwhile project which might be continued in the future. SCHOOL VISITATIONS In order that teachers might become more familiar with the desirable features of modern high school construction, ~ program was followed last year which permitted each o~' the high school teachers to visit one of the n~wer high schools in the adjacent Massachusetts area. Many beneficial ideas were acquired by teachers through these visitations and it is hoped that many of them may be incorporated in the proposed new high' school building. 178 MACINTOSH PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST The North Andover P. T. A. once more acted as sponsor of the Macintosh Prize Speaking Contest. This was held on March 8, I951 at the Kittrcdge School auditorium and the prizes were awarded to the following students: 1st prize~Nancy Burke (Freshman Class) 2nd prize--Sandra Vose (Sophomore Class) 3rd prize--Paul Donovan (Sophomore Class) ~Vith the adoption of the revised high-school curriculum, ~t is expected that much greater emphasis may be placed on the :highly important area of speech. TENNIS PROGRAS~ During last spring, a tennis program was conducted for high school girls on the tennis courts at the North Andover Legion Home. These eom'ts were made available through the effort of Mr. Samuel F. Rockwell, who was also extremely kind in providing considerable equipment for the program. This activity was organized under the direction of the Student Council and was supervised by Mrs. Gertrude Bateman ,of the faculty. Mrs. Batemau also had very valuable assistance from members of the Brooks Sct~ool staff-especially Mr. Wilder and Mr. Zink. LIBRARY DONATION Dm'inn the year, several books were donated to the high school library through the k~ndness of l~'[r. Alfred Boeglin, a former student. These books have no~v been catalogued and placed on the shelves and are frequently used as reference books by our students. In concluding this report, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all those who have had any contact with the high school this year for the splendid cooperation which has, at all times, been evident. It is only wbeu all work as a team that the maximum results eau be obtained. ~ineerely yours, ALVAH G. HAYES, Principal 180 RETIRED After ten years of service William Donahue -retired. In 1941 Mr. Donahue was elected janitor of the Center School; cetebral hemorrhage compelled him to retire, in 1951, when he was serving as assistant at Johnson High and the Kittredge Schools. In general, the changes in the stipends of school employees do not keep pace with changes in cost of living. It is h~teresting therefore to note that in 1941, the year of his election, Mr. Donahue received $960, and in 1951, the year of his retirement, his salary rate was $2,850. NEW Carl Thomas was elected on December 6 to succeed Mr. Donahne. FINANCIAL STATEMENT January i December 3I. 1951 APPROPRIATIONS: Salaries Expenses Refunds (Expenses] I. GENERAL CONTROL 1.

Barbara writes: "I think we are very fortunate to be able to have a cafe- teria. ~Iany of my friends do not care for sandwiches, and this is their only means of obtaining a good, hot lunch." She 5dentifies herself by saying: "I work in the cafeteria in Johnson High School. As I work in the first recess period, my job is to get the cash box at the of/ice, put the cash in thc cash register, and make sure everything is set for the day's work. I like this work very much; it prepares me for a job I may have in the future.. "When I first started, I was very nervous; now the rush of faces does not bother me." George Everson pays a well-deserved tribute to ~rs. Donald Thomson, his "boss," who works so hard to make Johnson High Cafeteria successful and yet always makes her work look easy. "We always have fan," writes George, "but still we work. "We work o~e period and have oar lunch the next period. Our meals are always balanced and good. "Sometimes we are assigned to handling ice cream. Some- times we work at the milk bar, setting out bottles and giving back the five-cent refund on empty bottles. Smnetimes we help Mrs. Thomson serve the hot meal. Last but not least is dish- washing. Johnson High School has an electric machine that washes the dishes and sterilizes theal with water, boiling hot. We put the dishes in the machine and remove them when they are washed, piling them in neat rows. "I will always remembm' the cafeteria," he concludes. Lyman Kilton recalls that ';at the beginning of the school year Mr. Hayes told the students the price of milk had gone up one cent. That meant twenty-six cents for the hot plate, with dessert and milk" (twenty-one cents in the elementary schools). "The ~food is good," Lyman continues. "Anywhere from fifty to sixty &ot meals are served every day. A great many 192 pupils briug their lunches from home, buying only a bottle of milk and sometimes ice cream. The staff is friendly and the privilege of having a cafetez.ia is enjoyed by every one." These conunents from three typical J.I-I.S. pupils may help to round out the idea of the cafeteria program for parents and interested taxpayers. Our superintendent of schools says that uo one person can tell everything that the North Andover schools do for the girls and boys of the T6wn. That is why I have included these words by one girl and two boys. I hope they will whet the curiosity of parents and citizens. You will always be a welcome guest at our cafeteria. Come for lunch with us any school day between 11:05 and 11:55 at J.t~.S. Barbara and George and Lyman--and many others--will be glad to serve you. The usual statistics for the current year follow. I am confident of their accuracy and completeness; every item was checked by Miss Neal, who teaches commercial subjects at J.YI.S. ,qhe is our School Lunch Program accountant. t~espectfally submitted, JENNIE C. 1VIARIN0, Manager 193 SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM Receipts and Expenditures January 1, 1951--December 31, 1951 Receipts Cash Balance, January 1, 195~ 'SaNe of Food $12,037.79 State Reimbursements 2,719.17 School Committee 500.12 Refunds 13.83 Total Receipts Total.

Those of us close to the heart of our athletic program are happy with the thought of a possible dream coming true-- namely, a new high school with adequate physical educational {acilities. In our report we note again, a favorable balance of $1,063.19. This should be sufficient if our purchases are not over indulged and our gate receipts do not decrease. We shall bc able to give every boy and girl an opport~mity to take part in a program of physical education in correlation with their' academic program. Often we feel we arc not doing enough and we ask our- selves, '"Where are we in respect to Physical Education?" Thus far, our facilities have been almost totally inadequate, a fact which hinders us in satisfactorily providing for the youngsters entrusted to us. Once again our country finds itself :in a national emcrgency. One important need in this emergency is a dynamic approach to the achievement of physical fitness. We can talk no longer, we must act. It is imperative that we expand our program and personnel, if possible, to include as many youngsters as we can. We owe it to them and to our country to have them properly prepared for the difficult ~vay ahead. There is a bright side to this, however. The prospect of a new high school and an enlarged physical fitness program not only for secondary school pupils but for all children is our hqpe and dream. Our children deserve the equal of all other children in surrounding areas, and in providing this we are in turn providing fro' the fulfillment of the School Depart- ment's earnest desire to prepare our children' for a useful and wholesome life. We appreciate and sincerely thank all,the ardent fans and boosters, and especially the Mothers and Fathers who have been so' kind to us and Who have been of such great assistance in helping ns help their children. · Respectfully snhmltted, .:.... Johnson High Athletic Council ALVAH G. HAYES, Principal GEORGE F. LEE, Coach JOHN L. FINNERAN, Faculty Manager ATHLETICS AT JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL by GEORGE KNIGHTLY (Co-Captain of '52 Football Team) ~Ve need a new gym! Why isn't our coaching staff suffi- cient in numbers and secure financially~. Why haven't we a full-tlme, fnlly paid physician assigned to all contests~ Why isn't our insurance coverage on injuries received in competition complete ? These are imperative and pertinent questions the athletes, their Mothers and Fathers, and spectators alike have wailed sbout since long before the present student body first found itself within the tired walls of our aged high school Why do we have to play each year Punchard at Andover, and Methuen at Methuen ? They REFUSE to play us on our home field. It is hard enough with an enrollment of 140 boys to have to compete against Punchard with 275 boys, and i~Iethuen with over 350 boys, but to play them. yearly in THEIR own back yards is a definitq handicap. Granted that these grievances are well grounded, let us look at the commendable work already being done. Ultimate success in athletics should not be determined by the percentage o£ games won and lost. Several more important aims might well precede, such as competitive and cooperative spirit, par- ticipation by a larger number of boys, and an indispensable triumvirate-character, sportsmanship, and fair play. Here at Johnson we have not lost sight of these ideals. It is the policy to retain on the squad for each sport all the candidates who report for the t'eam. Never is a player dropped without due reason. The competitive and cooperative spirits' are prominent in the practice sessions as well as in the games. Sportsmanship and fair play~ are developed and demanded by the coach who knows and sticks to the rules of the game. When the attributes are rooted deeply in a person because of athletics, it seems to me the purpose of sports, which has so o~ten been said to be to mold character, is being fulfi]led. That's how it is .at Johnson.

DONOVAN Early in October of 1951 we inaugurated the classroom section o~ a driver education course. Shortly before the start of the Christmas vacation at an impressive ceremony in Stevens Hall the second part of the course was inaugurated with the presentation to Attorney Charles W. Trombly, chairman of the school committee, of a beautiful ma~'oon-colored 1.952 Dodge sedan by Mr .Albert Hill o~ the J. W. Robinson Company of Lawrence, which had generously provided the ear. Thus North Andover joins the growing list of schools in this State which are taking action on ox~e of the vital needs of youth. The school is the proper place to meet this need. Three out of every four boys and girls will be driving by the time they are twenty~five. They eau be reached in greater 199 numbers there than in any other place. They have excellent reactions, are in the formative period of their lives, and are exceptionally eager to learn. Surveys have revealed that where these courses have been offered, the 16 to 20 year age group which previously had topped the national list of accidents has dropped to third place. The reason for this is that in addition to expert guidance in the actual operation of a car, they have developed the proper attitudes necessary for good driving. Witlfin the next few years, authorities confidently expect to point proudly to the high school driver as the model auto- mobile operator.

A report on the progress which your Committ.ee has made during this past year, in the matter of a new high school, can perhaps be best summarized by repeating the basic questions and problems with which you and your Committee have been faced 1. What will be taught? 2. How many pupils? 3. What facilities are necessary? 4. Where should the high school be located? 5. How much will it cost? 6. Can it be financed? 7. Should the Town build a new high school now ? The work of the School Building Committee during this past year has been aimed at checking the answers to questions previously ¢onsldered and finding answers to the new questions, that we might in turn present these answers to you for your consideration and decision. Under the experleneed guidance of High-School Principal Alvah G. Hayes, assisted by Dr. Elwood Drake of the Newton Public Schools, the High-School Curriculum Committee com- pleted its task last March. With the approval of the School Committee, the report of the Curriculum Committee, published and mailed to every citizen, answered the first question: What sub~ects would be, or were likely to be, taught in the high school ? 214 Your School Building Committee next received the original Reeves' Report, the supplementary report of February, 1951, by Dr. Drake and Dr. Homer Anderson, consulted With ]~xeeu- tire Director John Marshall of the Massachusetts School Build- ing Assistance Commission, and arrived at the conclusion that facilities should be provided for approximately 550 students. This figure is far in excess of present enrolment but reflects merely reasonable and proper provision for future population increase and growth trends for the next 30 to 40 years. That figure, then, reflects our considered opinion, supported by our consultants, as to the answer to the second question. Questions three and four--as to facilities and loeatlon-- are rather closely interlocked. To a considerable extent, yom' Committee's review and decision with respect to both facilities and location are predetermined. We must have State Building Assistance. The State Aid Commission has certain very definite convictions as regards both facilities and location. The 27-acre site selected and acquired last year, bounded by Main Street, Chickering Road, and Beacon Hill Boulevard, was recom- mended by our consultants, Dr. Drake and Dr. Anderson, and has the approval of the School Building Assistance Com- mission. Your Committee has found no reason to question the wisdom or judgment of those concerned in the selection and approval of this tract as the site for a new North Andover High .School. The answer to question five--the determination of approxi- mate construction and development costs--necessitated the retention of services of architects. Following several tours of inspection and numerous conferences, your Committe~ arrived at the unanimous decision to retain the services of the archi- teetural firm of Adden, Parker, Clinch & Crimp for the high- school preliminary survey. Cost studies indicate that the figure used in our Special Report to the 1951 Town Meeting is still substantially correct--namely, $1,500,000. Your Committee next considered the question of the financing of such a program and such a sum. Consultation with the State School Building Assistance Commission would indicate that State Aid would be forthcoming to the extent of not less than 30% of the overall cost. Consultation with the Massachusetts Division of Corporations and Taxation in- dicated no difficulty with respect to the approval of bonded indebtedness to the extent necessary. Your Committee has, therefore, arrived at the conclusion that should you desire to proceed with the construction of a new high school, not only can the project be financed but it eau be financed at the present very low interest rates of two to two and a half per cent. Lastly, and as of the preparation of this. report, your Com- mittee is still in the process of discnssing and considering the 215 advisability of promp~ action. The project is entirely feasible. State Aid, now available, may and probably will expire in June of 1953. At best, a substantially increased tax burden will be involved. There is no indication of any substantial drop in the costs of construction within the foreseeable future. It is, therefore, the intent of your Committee to publish at a later date~ but well in advance of the 1952 Town Meeting, its final decision and recommendation as to the wisdom of pro- ceeding with the new h~gh school project during the year 1952.
