One of the uniqt~e features of this structure, which was built in 1545~ is its Paul Revere bell. We ~ould like to thank Ga~;ton Os§ood for suppl~;in~q the photos in this year's report Special recosnition ~oes *-o Debra l_a~elle in the Office of the Selectmen for her technical assistance in the preparatk n of this report. TOWN REPORT COMMITTEE Daniel Lon§ Brian Sullivan Joseph Willis Thomas McEvo~ Rak'mond Ma;cnard BOARD OF SELECTMEN The Board of Selectmen started off 1979 with a reorganization meeting at which Joseph A. Guthrie was elected Chairman, Charles A. Salisbury was elected Chairman of the Licensing Commission, and Ralph R. Joyce was elected Clerk of both Boards. The Selectmen made a nualber of significant appointments during the year, including Acting Chiefs in our police and fire departments. Russell Donnelly was appointed Acting Police Chief and Dennis Currier was appointed Acting Fire Chief. We were sorry to see that the CETA program was virtually phased out this year. For the past several years, we have been fortunate to have CETA personnel available. This has enabled us to keep increases in our work force to a minimum. The Selectmen have requested that our Administrator submit a report to the Towo on our activities for the year. The Selectmen enjoyed participating in many Town activities such as parades, holiday celebrations, banquets, etc. As always, the Board would like to express its deep appreciation and thanks to our State Officials, Town Committees, Department Heads and employees. We would also like to recognize the efforts of our Administrator, Brian F. Sul/ivan and our Secretary, Alice M. Letarte, for their assistance durin~ the year. Respectfully submitted, Thomas J. McEvoy, Chairman Joseph A. Guthrie Charles A. Salisbury Ralph R. 3oyce, Esq. John W. Grahms Town Hall and Fire Station, 1930's EXECUTIVE SECRETARY The year 1979 was an active one for this office. The increasing responsibilities place upon the office of the Board of Selectmen through new federal, state and local legislation has required a greater committment of time and effort on the part of each Selectman and their Executive Secretary. In addition to regular we~kly meetings, numerous work sessions were held during the year. Routine administration, which keeps this office busy, includes maintenance of town buildings, awarding of contracts, approving payment of bills, issuing licenses, defending suits against the Town, administration of insurance programs~ preparation of jury lists, appointments of cormnittees, and processing citizen complaints. Other areas which required the time and attention of this office are listed below. Collective BarKainin~ In this area, the Executive Secretary conducted research and provided assistance to the Selectmen in negotiating contracts. Numerous negotiating sessions were held with the police, fire and municipal employees unions. In this period of high inflation, our job of negotiating a fair agreement with our employees has become increasingly difficult. With high inflation everyone suffers. Our employees suffer because the salary increases granted do not even come close to keeping thsm up with the cost of living. Our taxpayers suffer because taxes are increased to meet the increased cost of services. We have had to balance the needs of our employees against the need to control our tax rate. The contracts we were sucessful in negotiating, we believe represent a fair and reasonable compromise. Solid Waste During the year, this office was actively involved in the North East Solid Waste Committee (NESWC) project, which involves the contruction of a resource recovery plant for the~theast section of the State. In addition to attending the meetings of NESWC, the Executive Secretary served as Chairman of the Negotiating Committee, which spent numerous hours negotiating a contract with the operator of the plant. Progress in getting the required committments to start construction has been painfully slow. At this time, thez~are only four or five communities that have made a cormmittment. However, we believe the lack of progress is not an indication that communities are disinterested in this particular project because if you look at the progress made by other proposed resource recovery projects in this part of the State~ you will find that they have made even less progress. The real problem appears to be that communities are reluctant to make an importan decision unless the problem is immediate and they are forced into it. In this case, the decision involves making a twenty year cormmittment involving many dollars to solve a problem three or four years away. Many communities have simply chosen not to make any decision at all and will probably not do so until the problem beco~s critical and they have no choice. Until such time as there are enough communities in this position, no resource recovery project will receive the necessary committments from communities. We are in a precarious position because our solid waste problems will become critical in the next year or two. As a result, if another attractive resource recovery proposal is made in the near future we will have to make a decision of whether to accept it or wait and see if the NESWC project will receive the necessary committments. Hopefully, other communities will make a decision soon. We are confident that when they do, it will be to ioin with NESWC. r,opics This office has held several meetings with the Mass. D.P.W. relative to the Topics Project, which calls for safety improvements at several intersections along routes to the high school and also includes the construction of sidewalks in some areas. We are pleased to say that, after several years of planning, construction has finally commenced and is scheduled to be completed this summer. Core, unit y Development During the year, the Town has been involved with three different HUD grants. One was for $123,000 for a town-wide housing rehabilitation program. This grant will provide assistance to elderly and low-income homeowners for health and safety repairs and energy conservation improvenmnts tm there homes. With today's econo~y, many of the elderly and low-income persons have found it very difficult to maintain their homes and, as a result, necessary repairs for health and safety have been neglected. Another grant, which is underway, is for $85,000 to construct sidewalks add extend the fire alarm system. The final grant, which is scheduled to commence this summer, is for $295,000 for a housing rehabilitation program targeted for the down town area. The emphasis of this program will be on upgrading the properties along Main Street. Part of the funds will be used for developing a unified, architectural theme to improve the visual qualities of the downtown-Main Street area. %ax Caps As a result of state legislation, spending limits were placed on all cities and towns for fiscal years 1980 and 1981. The only way a community could exceed 104% of its previous year's budget was by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of its Town Meeting. At our Tnwn Meeting, the vote was nearly unanimous to exceed the tax cap. We believe this was a clear indication to the State by the townspeople that we need no direction from the State in Town affairs. We, as Town officials, resent the fact that the Governor is pointing his finger at local governments and saying that we are the culprits and are spending too much money. He puts controls on local spending but fails to control his own spending. The fact is that since 1995, local taxes in the State have increased an average of 7% a year and substantial portion of these increases were mandated by the State. In comparison, State taxes have increased an average of 13%, almost double that of local taxes. We beliewe that spending at all levels of government have to be closely controlled but the major problem in Massachusetts is not local spending but the over reliance on the property tax for local revenues. The chart below dramat- ically points this out. For example, while local spending per capita in North Andover is 21% lower than the U.S. average, our property taxes are 45% higher. 2A Property Tax Property Tax Municipal Spending per camit~ per capita p~r capita North Andover $387 62.2% $622 Massachusetts 431 54.6% 789 U. S. Average 266 33.6% 791 Property taxes are high because they are essentially our only source of revenue to pay for our services. The State has chosen not to pass legislation which would require them to share a portion of their growth revenues. Instead~ they prefer to retain these revenues for their own increased spending. For example, in the Governor's proposed FY 1981 budget, he estimates a total revenue increase of $367 million yet North Andower will not receive any of this to apply against our tax rate. In fact~ the Governor is proposing not to reimburse con, unities for costs the State is required to pay for by law. He is simply increasing local tax rates to balance his own budget. We believe the assertions that local expenditures are growing rapidly, that State legislation is needed to limit municipal spending and that the State govern- ment, in contrast to local governments, is living within its limits are unsubstan- tiated claims. Again we agree that government spending, including local government spending, has to be watched closely, but we believe in Massachusetts, the biggest problem is the over reliance on the property tax and our main efforts and attention should be directed to correcting this problem. Respectfully submitted, For the Board of Selectmen, B~'ian F. Sulli,zan, Executive Secretary. ADVISORY BOARD The Advisory Committee--a board appointed by the Town Moderator for terms of three years--is charged with the responsibility of (1) making recommendations to Town Meeting relative to budgetary and other articles appearing on the warrant; (2) administering the Reserve Fund, to approve or disapprove requests from various town departments for funds beyond current appropriations; (3) acting in an advisory capacity te the Town and its departments and boards on matters as may be requested and which lie within the scope of its authority. For the first time since becoming a legally constituted body within the Town, the Advisory Comittee in 1979 (for fiscal ]979-19§0) was confronted with the task of presenting to the Town for its consideration and action a spending program--budgets and articles--in compliance with restraints imposed upon it by Legislative enactment of a four percent tax cap, so--called; i.e., spending not to exceed four percent above 1978-1979 expenditures. In this posture, the Committee considered itself mandated to present to the Annual Town Meeting a cumulative outlay which complied with this Legislative edict. Virtually all departments of the Town, though faced with ever-escalating costs of government operation, acquiesced in this endeavor and did not seek, by and large, at Town Meeting to vary the Committee's recommendations as to Article 8 of the warrant (Budget Appropriation Article). The School DePartment, taking the position that it could not ~']ive" and adequately function with a four per cent "cap", dissented from the Committee's recommendation, ultimatelly presented its request for an approximate eight percent increase to the Town Meeting, and prevailed in its position. Incidental to this action of the Town voting to override the four percent guideline, it should be pointed out that the Advisory Committee, having heretofore recommended the bonding (borrowing) as to certain Articles (to meet tax cap levels--Articles the bonding of which is not generally considered fiscally sound (e.g., motorized equipment, chlorinators, etc.) reversed its recommendation on such Articles from bonding to "raise and appropriate," thus relieving the Town of the burden of long-term borrowing expense. This action was motivated by the tax capobjective having been thwarted by the Town Meeting vote on the School Department budget overriding such '~cap", a prerogative open to the Town within the provisions of the legislation itself. In addition to budget and other Town Meeting Article recommendations, the other principal function of the Advisory Committee is the administration of the Reserve Fund, an omnibus appropriation of funds at Town Meeting to be alloted--when approved --on request from various town departments to meet their respective requirements in excess of current budgetary appropriation; such requests or grants to be approved within the parameters of thot which is deemed appropriate in the language of Chapter 40, Section 6, of the General Laws" .... to provide for extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures." From the 1978-1979 Reserve Fund appropriation of $50,000, the Advisory Committee approved requests totalling $49,974. Of this sum, the more substantial allowances were granted to the Board of Health for sanitary engineer consultant services ($6,030); Police Department expenses ($7,088); Street Lighting expense ($4,449); School Department expenses ($15,000)--this latter being a transfer to reduce a deficit in the Special Needs account of that department. The Advisory Committee met approximately forty-one times considering budget and other Article matters, as well as Reserve Fund transfers. ~n addition, the Committee attended several joint meetings with other Town departments and boards relative to general government operations of the Town. The committee gratefully ackowledges theoverall cooperation and courtesies exhibited and extended by Town boards and departments in mutually concerted efforts to accomm- odate the needs of the Town and uitimately ensureto its benefit. Zn this regard, singular commendation should be accorded Brian Sullivan, Administrative Assistant to the Selectmen, for his ever-present assistance to this Committee in providing vital information and counsel in furtherance of its duties. This report of the Advisory Committee would be less than complete without citing and singling out the extraordinary contribution made by our most competent Secretary, Carol Good. Although her primary activity and duties consist of the recordation and preparation of the minutes of the meetings and decisions of the Committee, together with the ancillary function of gathering pertinent data and information, by no means does this adequately describe the indispensable value of this additional "member" to the Committee, and more specfifically this Chairman and his predecessors. Through many years of service to this Committee, Mrs. Good has acquired a wealth of know l'edgeable acquaintance and orientation with town governmental operations, a reservoir which is continually "tapped" by all Committee members, jointly and severally, and the Chairman in particular; and, it may be added, from which source was directed much definitive action. Without reflecting on others in a similar capacity in the Town, an accolade of grateful "thanks" goes out to Carol from this Committee for immeasurable assistance in the performance of its functions.

Respectfully submitted, R.E.Atwood, DVM BOARD OF APPEALS The Board of Appeals has again this year maintained a very full schedule of meetings. Ten regular meetings and six special meetings were conducted. Petitions filed for variances and special permits numbered thirty-two and, following presentation to the Board at public hearings, twenty-two were granted, seven denied, two withdrawn, and one dismissed. As per the previous year, the majority of requests were for setback variances. A variety of others were in the categories of area, frontage and height variations. Special Permit requests were in the areas of dwelling conversions, parking, and divisions of land. Two hearings were held for variances from the Sign By-Law, one was granted and one denied. Three special permits for Earth Removal operations were granted. Public hearings were customarily held on the second Monday of each month in the Town Office Building Meeting Boom, unless o~herwise advertised due to dis- placement by Monday holidays. The officers of the Board have remained the same. Member John J. Gaffny, resigned during his term of office and was replaced by Asso. Member, Richard Trepanier. Augustine W. Nickerson and Walter F. Soule are our newly appointed Associate Members. Respectfully submitted: BOARD OF APPEALS Frank Serio, Jr., Chairman Alfred E. Frizelle, Esq., Vice-Chairman R. Louis DiFruscio, Clerk James D.

In order to adaquately serve the citizens of North Andover, a new Fire Engine and an Ambulance are bei~lg purchased and they will be delivered in the Fall of 1979. A study committee has been appointed to investigate the feasibility and prospective future location for a third Fire Station in the rapidly expanding country residential area in the SouChernly end of Town. Studies are a)so being made of the future manpower requirements, disposition of equipment, and extensions to the fire alarm system, all toward the goal of assuring the townspeople of continuing and adequate fire protection for life and property. BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS James E. Fitzgerald, Acting Cheif Dana N. Fisher Steward P. Wilson BOARD OF HEALTH Hereby is submitted the yearly report of the Board of Health. Many changes have been mandated by Federal, State and Local Governmental bodies and we feel we have met the chal!enges to the best of our ability. Details relating to community and environmenta~ health are delineated in ~ections ef this report. All of them have expanded in many directions. COMMUNITY HEALTH Our annual flu immunization clinic for senior citizens, town employees and people of any age with a chronic condition SUCh as asthma, heart or any respiratory problem, produced oood results. Over 700 immunizations were administered to qualified patients at clinics held in the Town Hall and local nursing home patients. All communicable diseases must be reported, according to State Law, to this Board by the attending physician, §chool nurse er parents. Biological vaccines and diagnostic testing supplies, free of charge are distributed through the State Health Department, with this Board as the dispensing agent. Most important is the promotion of complete reporting of communical diseases, home visits of acute case~ for the taking of cultures and the education of the family in proper procedures to prevent spreading of the disease. Our public health nurse visited 12 premature babies born to residents of this town during this period in order to evaluate the home and the quality of care given to each infant. Follow up visits are made when the nurse feels they are necessary or when requested. Our nurse also keeps monthly surveillance of all persons known to have tuberculosis, former patients, their contacts, and contacts to persons with the disease in other towns. We currently have five active cases of tuberculosis in this town and all of these patients are followed closely to be certain that they are in contact with their private physicians or regularly report to the area clinic. Those patients with the disease in an inactive state and positive re-actors to skin testing are also checked on a monthly basis. Many of these patients are o~ prescribed drug therapy and the prescriptions are regulated by the pharmacy of the Lawrence General Hospital. These are free of charge through the State Health ~e~artment and clinical appointments are made for them by our nurse. Chest x-rays are also provided free of charge. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH The re-writing of Article II, Standard of tlousing, State Sanitary Code, and the imglementation of same upgrading the standards of ~ousing throughout the community through inspections, re-inspections and legal proceedings has increased the work load of this Board. Heatin0 complaints involvin0 the lack of heat or inadequate heating facilities still top the list of housing complaints. New multiple page forms must be filled out on each complaint received, whether dealing with heat, plumbing or neighbor nuisance annoyances. Many landlords, of ten difficult to locate~ cause delays in correcting even small repairs. We attempt to invesitgate and correct every complaint and our objective is to safeguard the health and safety of not only the occupant, but the general public as well. For this we need the cooperation of the occupants, the landlords and the general public. Private Sewerage Disposal Systems: Title V of Department Environmeotal Quality Engineering now enforce~ w~i~u%~ to be Article X! of the State Sanitary Code, and this Board has enacted several stricter regulations. Many new subdivisions have been approved and again, this year, 285 applications were received for soil tests for underground sewerage permits. The system designs being submitted to this office are now much more technical and scientific. However, most of the existing land in our town is marginal in many instances, This imposes a greater burden on this Board through extra supervision, more inspections and checks. lO Fo~d Se~rvice Inspection Program: There are 65 food service establishments including restaurants, retail markets, industrial and school cafeterias, mobile units and nursing homes. Our registered sanitarian checks these on a monthly basis, checking on general cleanliness, food storage and bacteria counts on dishes, glassware and silverware. There are very few violations and when such occur, generally a letter from the Board results in s~eedy correction of the problem reported. Complaints received from the general public are usually checked within a matter of hours. Ti~e quality of milk and cream offered for sale in this community are checked monthly at different places each month. There have been no violations relating to quality or bacterial count reported during this period. ~athing Area and Swimminj ~ools This ~oard continues to receive each year many calls relating to t~e-~ea~c~nditions at the town-owned beach, Stevens Pond. During the bathing season this department keeps a regular check on the bacterial count of the pond water. Our inspections are made up until the beach is officially closed for the season and this Board would act immediately to close the bathing facility right away if unusually high bacterial counts occur. We also keep a regular check on the food service stand in operation at the beach. Semi-public pools in apartment complexes, motels, schools, etc. are also checked on a regular basis by this Board. These pools are licensed annually by the Board and the fees charged help defray the cost of inspections. No testing is done and no fct~nses are issued on private pools. Plumbling Inspections: Permits are required by law on all new plumbing and all repairs. Dur]ng the period 2~2 permits were issued and our inspectors completed ql~5 inspections. Permits relating to all the above environmental activities are required by this Board and this period 925 permits wore issued resulting in fees of $lB,gl4.00 deposited wiLi~ the Town Treasurer.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT-- There were installed in 197B-79 3,936 feet of twelve inch, 9,466.5 feet of eight inch, 871.4 feet of six inch ductile iron pipe, The water main distribution system now consists of l)l.2 miles of main pipe; two twelve inch check valves, one twelve inch Altitude valve, 140 twelve inch, 18 ten inch, 280 eight inch, 1,280 six inch and 4 four inch gate valves with 723 public fire hydrantS. SIZE OF PIPE (Inches) 14 12 10 8 6 4 3 LENGTH OF PIPE (Feet) 788 14~835 ~930 13~399 288J77 1~262 160 There were installed in 1978-7g either wholly or partially, 227 new water services. The new and renewed water services equaled 3.09 miles of type "K" copper service pipe. Sixty~six new meters installed and 52 eld meters repaired and two fire hydrants broken off by cars were replaced. All hydrants were inspected, repaired and painted where necessary. Due to the unusually heavy snow fall this past winter, the Fire Department personnel assisted us in cleaning the fire hydrants of snow and ice. The annual inspection of the 1,500 gate valves and valve boxes in the system was completed. The two l-l/2 million gallon reservoirs on Sutton Hill were covered with a rubber and vinyl material known as Hypolon. The old six inch water main on Winter Street, from South Bradford Street to house #463~was replaced with a new twelve inch main. This work was done by L. DiFruscio and Sons, the lowest bidder. Monitoring of Lake Cochichewick continued in conjunction with the Department of Engineering at Merrimack College. This lake monitoring will supply us with information regarding the condition of the lake and any trends occurring in the water quality. Fluoridation has been continually maintained by the Public Works Department and levels monitored by both ourselves and the State Department of Environmental Quality Engineering. By-weekly bacterial examinations of the water supplied the town were made by this department and the State Department of Environmental Quality Engineering. between the public weter supply and other sources of supply for industrial and commercial uses have been made in cooperation with the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering. 12 PLAYGOUNDS DEPARTMENT-- The playgound system now consists of Grogan's Field, 4~7 acres% ~~ld, 5.0 acres~ American Legion Beach, 1.4 acres: Carl A. Thomas Playground, 4.7 acres~ Aplin Playgound 4.7 acres; Aplin Piaygound~l~8 acres~ Chadwick Street Playgound, 4.1 acres; Reynolds Playgound, 3.0 acres, a total of 24.7 acres. The following work was done at Grogan's Field; the baseball infield was regraded, stone dust was used to build up the pitcher's mount, the skinned area was rototilled and trinlmed back, the baseball diamond was laid out and maintained for the junior league, the intermediate league and the police league. Four farm league diamonds were laid out at the Chadwick Street Playgound for the Booster Club. The Little League diamond at the Carl A. Thomas Playgound was rebuilt and maintained for the teams of the Booster Club. The softball diamond at the Drummond Playgound was maintairled for the North Andover Softball League and other league teams using the field five evenings a week. The 29th annual swimming meet held in AuguSt and sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 2104 was the usual success. The beach season from June 20, 1978 Lo September 3, lO?8 made it possible for over 6,000 men, women and children to (~njoy the fine recreation facilities and to give over 4,000 swimming lessons under Beach Director Walter C. Roberts and the lifeguards. The playgound, swings, See-saws, and merry-go-rounds were removed, repaired, repain- ted and reset by department employees. The basketball courts on all playgounds continually in use were kept clear of snow. PARKS-SCHOOLGROUNDS DEPARTMENTS-- The park system now consists of the Center Common, 8.T-~cres'; %~inin~-g~~acres~ Memorial Park, 2.7 acres~ Old Burying ground, 1 acre, and the Historical Society Plot, Farrington Burying Found and 20 small plots at street intersections, a total of fifteen acres. Rea's Pond, Steven's Pond and Becky's Pond at the training ground were flooded and cleared of snow for skating. Ail park areas were fertilized, mowed and maintained as usual . An ever-increasing demand for the use of t~e Center Common for civic and ~rivate]y sponsored events has made the maintenance of this area more difficult than previous years. The Public Works Department has maintained the school grounds exclusive of the buildings since 1954. The areas involved are Bradstreet Schoo], 1.20 acres; Thomson School, 3.00 acres; Kittredge School, 6.57 acres~ North Andover Middle School and'Atkinson School, 38.34 acres% Franklin School, 8.77 acres, and the new Senior High'School 44.52 acres, a total of 102.40 acres. The varsity and junior varsity baseball fields and the track and field events facilities at the Middle School were marked out and prepared over thirty times from April to dune for competitive school events with outside schools as well as constan- tly maintained for practice. The varsity, junior varsity and freshman field hockey and baseball fields were marked out and prepared and maintained at the new high school. The Uigh School, Thomson, Kittredge, Franklin, Atkinson and Niddle School gounds and athletic fields were fertilized, mowed, and maintained as usual. The football bleachers at the Middle School were repaired, scraped and sanded~where required, and painted. Snow pipes were placed along driveways at all the schools to prevent snow vehicles from damaging turf areaS. The driveways and parking areas at the Franklin, Atkinson, Thomson and Middle Schools were oiled and sealed. 13 STATISTICS OF CONSUMPTION OF WATER-- Population 1970 census - 16,185 Estimated population of lines of supply 15,500 Total consumption of the year (gallons) 827,300,000 2. 3. 4.

In residential construction a record number of 160 new dwellings, along with the Archdiocese development of 230 units on Waverly Road kept our ~epartment extremely busy making the necessary inspections. Our new Assistant Building Inspector, Wilfred Chaput, was appointed during the year and proved a welcome addition to our work force. My thanks to those town departmentS and inviduals who assisted us in applying the codes and by-laws that are our duty to enforce. Respectuflly submitted, CHARLES H. FOSTER, inspector of Buildings WILFRED CHAPUT, Assist. Bldg. Inspector JOHN J. THOMPSON, Electrical Znspector EDWARD J. SCANLON, Gas Inspector CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE Capital Budget Committee - Annual Report for 1979 The Capital Budget Committee, like many other groups involved with Town finances in the past year, found itself facing unusual planning uncertainties, uncertainties s~emming from economic issues and political Issues. By far, the most difficult issue for Our Committee was the "Tax Cap" voted by the State Legislature, putting in artificial ceiling on expenditures that could not be coordinated effectively by the various advisory groups and elected boards. As a result, this committee tried to support and oppose requests for funding of Capital Projects on their merits as before~ but with no assurance that they could be funded, even if afford- able. The major proposal brought before the Committee this year was the plan for a sewer expansion to tie in the Marbleridge Road - Lisa Lane areas via an extension Co the existing line through Pleasant St. Previous proposals, while detailed from financial and construction viewpoints, lacked a context of overall necessity to the welfare of the Town. This year's proposal was accompained by a report from a group of graduate students at Harvard University who analyzed the Lake Cochichewick watershed and found it in need of protection from human waste. In this context, the project was strongly supported by the Committee after extensive investigation and discussion. The balance of last years activity included review of many more requests of a more routine nature such as a new refuse truck, new water system pu~p and new ambulance among other items. The total impact of these projects on the Town's debt structure was forecasted in our Annual Report mailed to all North Andover households before the Town Meeting. This report indicated that the Town's debt structure was conservative and well able to withstand the additional borrowing suggested by the Capital Budget. As in previous years, I would like to take thisopportunity to thank the many Departments Heads who assisted us in our work, and the members of the Committee for their cooperation. FOR T~E COMMITTEE, W.E. ENSDORF 21 CIVIL DEFENSE It is my pleasure to submit my eighth Annual report as Civil Defense Directur of the town of Nurth Andover, Mass. This report covers the fiscal year ending June 30, i979. Our ]979 Program Paper was again approved by the Mass. Civil Defense Agency continuing our eligibility for Federal reimbursement of approximately $1,000 per year. Federal Matching Funds reimburses one-half the salary of the Civil Defense Director and all uther administrative expenses including clerical/typing assistance. "The Northeaster" of January 25, 1979 caused serious flooding problems in Massachu- setts. Early that day, Area ] C.D. Headquarters declared a state of emergency. Our Communications Officer, Mr. Ridgely Underwood activated our communications with all local town departments and the Civil Defense sector net. Fortunately our community did not suffer heavy damages. Our Public Works, Highway and Tree Depart- ment advised of some minor flooding, several street washouts and many wet cellars in our community. The final damage assessment was approximately 50 uninhabited houses due to water damage and serious erosion/septic system problems experienced in approximately 250 hemes; some substantial damage to public facilities, streets and roads. Several local businesses suffered from heavy water damage. Our sister community of Andover~ Mass. did not fare so well. C.D. Director Johnson requested assistance when serious flooding of the Shawsheen river threatened the Riverina Road Pumping station. Our Public Works, Highway and Tree ~epartmeots dispatched work crews, auxiliary pu~nps and sand bags to aid Andover. We also provided trucks in the event that an evacuation was required if the pumping station was flooded. ~hese activities continued for approximately 5 days and nights until the Shawsheen river subsided. As usual, I feel privileged to have served with all Town, Police, and Fire departments and C.D. volunteers whu conducted themselves in a highly professional manner. Our Auxiliary Police and Radio Amateur Communications Emergency Service (RACES) communicators continue to support all town activities such as Memorial Day, 4th of 2uly, Veterans Day and Santa Claus parades. We also support local Bike-A-Thuns, picnics, summer band concerts and any other functions requiring our assistance. Support usually consists of crowd control and security assistance to the local Police Department by the Auxiliary Police and communications support as required by both the C.D. RACES and Citizens Band Communicators. The Auxiliary Police also provide traffic duty to our local churches during peak traffic periods. The Auxiliary Police utilize the 1977 used police cruiser acquired from the Police Department in December 1978 for the conduct of these duty schedules. Our communications group maintains their state of readiness by conducting a weekly exercise of all communications equipment and Emergency Operating Capability (EOC) facilities. These facilities are the nucleus of our EOC "Command Post'~ and in the event of an emergency, by maintaining our communications proficiency on a weekly basis, we insure the accomplishment of our mission. Our communications group membership is presently comprised of: Communications Officer Mr. Ridgely Underwood, William Sherlock, Carleton Wilson, Douglas Wilson, Richard Slade, Leonard SomerS, Gerald Rowen, Joseph Demers, Edwin Adams, Joseph Sullivan, Jr., Ernest Harvey, Richard Gacioch and Joseph Whitehead. Our Communications group donated approximately 16DO hours of voluntary duty to the town during this reporting period. IN MEMORIAM We were deeply saddened by the loss of RACES member James ~igoli on August 3, 1979. Jim was widely known and respected in Radio Amateur circles in the Greater Lawrence area for his many years of dedicated participation in Amateur radio. He was heavily involved in Civil Defense and could always be relied on to come through during emergencies. His absence is a definite loss in our communications capability. I will miss him as a personal friend. 22 The Auxiliary Police membership is comprised of: Commanding Officer Sgt. Dennis ~ionne, Executive Officer Ernest Harvey, Patrolmen G. Fred Roppi~g, Carl Eagoner, Hilton P. Cormey, John J. Zaccari, Joseph Bamman, Cleon Richards, Steven Schubert ~nd Joseph Sullivan, Jr. ~he Auxiliary Police donated approximately 2500 hours of vo]untary duty to the %own durin§ this reporting period. ~e welcome any volunteers holding valid Federal Communications Radio Amateur licenses to serve in o~zr RACES group. We still selectively search for potential recruits for the limited openings in our Auxiliary Police cadre. Any North Andover residents, male or female, regardless of sex, race or creed who desire to serve with Civil Defense may contact the C.D. Director at his home or through the Town Building or other members of our group. I wish to extend my grateful appreciation to the Board of Selectmen and Administra- tive Assistant for their continuing support. All Town Department Heads, Acting Fire Chief James Fitzgerad, Acting Police Chief Russell Oonnelly For assistance and mupport of our Auxiliary Police; Sgt. Dennis Dionne and the Auxiliary Police for their dedication, Mr. Ridgely Underwood and the RACES Volunteers, and last but not least Deputy C.D.

Coco, Civil Oefense Director Kittredge latin, \cudcm5 Road 23 CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Conservation Commission finds itself in a unique position, serving as the local administrator for the Wetlands Protection Act (G.L. Chapter 131,section 40) and its regulations. The wetlands and floods plains are extremely valuable for public and private water supply, flood control, storm damage prevention, pollution prevention and the protectio~ of the fisheries. It is the feeling of the Conserva- tion Commission that these critical interests can be best protected through reason- able administration and through sensitive design by the developers. Our work as administrator of the Wetlands Protection Act involves reviewing all the plans submitted to the Planning Board and referrals from the Building Inspector and private citizens. The major subdivisions acted upon were Campion Hall and Engalls Crossing. There were approximately fifty-one site visits made and thirty public meetings in the past year with regards to determinations. Interest and assistance in our work was given by the Planning Board, the Building Inspector and a number of private citizens. Projects have been planned for the coming year with the help of these groups including the start of an Open Space plan for the Town. For the first time, the Commissien had the services of a full-time Conservation assistant through CETA. Unfortunately, he went to lunch one day and never to return. The Commission regretfully accepted the resignations of Messrs., Daniel Leonard and John Gaffny. The Conservation CommissioP also wishes to thank both Messrs., Gaffny and Leonard for their invaluable contribution made to the Town. We are pleased that Dr. Harry Love and Mr. Steve Vounessea were appointed aS their replacements. In conclusion, we wish to thank the many private citizens who have taken part in and supported our work and the many Town Boards who have shown continued cooperation with our efforts.

Northam, Dog Officer. 26 GREATER LAW, SANITARY DISTRICT The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Wastewater Treatment Plant began operating in April, 1977, and has been in continous satisfactory operation since that time. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1979, we processed an average daily flow of 27.34 million gallons per day. North Andover's flow for this period was 2.28 million gallons per day or 8.3% of the total. Fiscal year 1979 saw a continuation of efforts t~ operate the plant more cost-effec- tively. This was apparent in the operational changes initiated and in the projects undertaken by maintenance personnel. Two major operational changes that resulted in cost savings were: I. conversion to polymer as the dewatering checmical on the vacuum filters and 2. elimination of the flotation thickeners used in dewatering waste activated sludge. The maintenance department completed two major projects that could have been contracted to ourside firms but were done in-house more effectively because of the coordination necessary with plant operations. The projects were: 1. dismantle, ship and rebuild one of the large pumps at the Riverside Pump Station and 2. modify the sl~dge conveyor system between the vacuum filters and the incinerators. The septage facility received 2~41 loads of septa9e aS well as 5.92 millien gallons of wastewater. This facility, in addition te providing a disposal site for the area communities, has been a SOurce of revenue for the plant. The District staff is pursuing other areas to lower the operating costs at the plant. The most noteworthy would be the installation of a hydroelectric generator at the outfall to recover some of the energy contained in the wa~tewater before it returns to the river. Eund~ng of this project has been pursued through the £PA and Department of Energy for the past years(two) with no success. It is felt that these sources have been exhausted. Therefore the Commission has decided to continue with the project to insure that any potential reduction in operating costs w~ll be real~zed. In addition to reducing the power costs, alteratives to sludge incineration are being pursued. Utilizing our sludge as a soil conditioner is being evaluated on a small test plot at the plant site. The District is also investigating joining the solid waste plant to be built in North Andover. If this becomes a reality, the sludge will be disposed of at this facility and our incinerators will be shut down. In the area of public relations, the efforts of the employees in raising $1j350 for the Lawrence Eagle Tribune Boat Fund is noteworthy. The yard sale held at the plant produced the largest contribution in the Greater Lawrence area. Respectfully submitted, John A. Craig, Chairman Greater Lawrence Sanitary District 27 HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT DRAINAGE -- Rebuilt catch basin and replaced broken pipe on Prescott St. Repaired catch basin and broken pipe at a corner of Meadow Lane and Wood Lane.

Bradford St. Repaired 5 catch basins on Russell St. Repaired 2 catch basins on Harkaway Rd. Repaired 2 catch basins on Mass. Ave. Put new catch basin and stone subdrain on Pond St. in front of Pinecrest Nursing Home. This should correct bad icing condition that existed at that location. I~Jstalled 6 new catch basins and 40 1.f. of R.C. 12" pipe cross drains on Salem St. between Cleon Richards an~ Missile Site Rd. Replaced 15" R.C. pipe culbert at Cleon Richards, Installed new drainage line on Summer St. at Mandr¥~s to eliminate bad icing condition that occurs there during winter months. Used 2 basin units with frames and grates and 300 1.f.R.C. pipe. Installed drainage on Johnson St. hill consisting of eight catch basin units and approximately 1,000 1,f. of 12" R.C. pipe. The following street were hottoped -- Dale St. from Town Farm to Glencrest, Lacy St. from Forest St. to Kittredge Farm, Forest St. from Lacy St, to Worsens residence, Russell St., Main St. from St. Pauls Church to Rte. 125, all of Chopin Rd., Waverly Rd. from Mass. Ave to Cemetery, Chestnut st. from Andover to Milk Sts., Heath Rd. from Milk St. ~o Bill Finneran's residence, Johnson St. hill, Salem St. from Campbell Rd. to Lachapelle residence, Abbott St., Rea St. from Johnson to Abbott, all of Oxford St. Winter St. from S. Dradford to Monroe"s residence. The following sidewalks were repaired or resurfaced --- Middlesex.St., Water St. by D&F, Merrimack St., Church St., both sides of Marblehead St., Maple Ave., Third St., Cabot Rd., Stonington St., Pleasant St. from Rte. 125 to Park St., Waverly Rd. across from Thompson School Main St. by Chickering Rd. Granite curbing --Approximately 1,900 1.f. of slopped granite curbing was installed on Main St. from St. Pauls Church on both sides of the street, to Rte. 125. Granite curbing and brick sidewalk was installed in front of the Arlington Trust Bank on Main St., and a portion of Second St., this was approximately 200 1.f. SNOW- We had only 37" of snow during the winter of lg78-197g, with no major snowstorms. However, we had many small snow and sleetstorms along with long spells of severe cold weather, which made for many ice conditions and sanding operations. We used more sand and salt during last year than we did the pre- vious winter with a total of llO" of snow. Approximately 800 catch basins were cleaned by machine and 455 by hand between the months of April and May. All the streets in town were swept in the spring. Brush and graSS was cut at intersections and shoulders of all town roads where needed. REFUSE: The disposal of solid waste is still the biggest problem confronting this depart- ment. We are presently waiting to see whether or not the North East Solid Waste plant will break gound next spring. The chances of this happening should be known in January of next year. If we fail to get the required committed tonnage by this time, it will leave us no choice but to start looking towards an alternative solution immediately. 28 The only bright spot, as far as disposing of rubbish goes, is the extention of the open burning season on brush, and some of the driftwood and forestry debris which will be from January 15, to May 1st, of next year. Brush is one of the biggest problems confronting us at the landfill at this time. We would like to put restrictions on brush from rural areas of town being brought to the landfill and would hope that the residents with sufficient land area would co-operate hy stockpiling brush and tree trimmings until the burning season is open. All burning even during the legal burning season is subject to permission from the fire department. The following streets were sealed with oil -- Pleasant st. from Great Pond Rd., to Stevens St., all of Court St., Dale St. from Appleton St. to Marbleridge Rd., Appleton St. from Dale to end, Forest St. from Bevin~ residence to Cedar Lane, Forest St., and all of tne Ingalls Street. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the Highway Department staff and the Town 8oards and Departments for their heIp and cooperation throughout the past year and I would like to thank the people of North Andover for the privilege of serving as your Highway Surveyor. Sincerely, William A. Cyr. HISTORICAL COMMISSION The Historical Commission this year accepted with regret the resignation of David Knepper and welcomed Caroline L. Cole. We were notified this year by the Massachusetts Historical Commission that the Old Center area had been accepted by the National Register as the town's first National Register District. Work is still continuing on the Machine Shop Village area, which we hope will be North Andover's second National Register District. Reflecting the interest of owners of houses on the town's inventory of historic structures, the Commission approved the design for a woooden placque giving the approximate date of construction of the house. These placques are being made by Ned DiSalvo, a North Andoyer craftsman, and are avai]able for $10o00. Many of them maynow be seen throughout the town. The Commission continues to oversee maintenance of the Blacksmith Shop site in the Old Center, where extensive landscaping was done this year.

Cole 29 HOUSING AUTHORITY As Executive Director of the North Andover Housing Authority, I am pleased to present to you, on behalf of the members of the Board of Directors, our annual report of activities throughout the fiscal year ending September 30, 1979. This report was prepared in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 12lB of the State statute governing the Authority. During the past year, the North Andover Housing Authority has provided low rent subsidized units for approximately 300 citizens of our Town. These low rent units are distributed in four developments which consist of 134 units of Elderly Housing and 24 Units of Veterans Housing. All units are housing within 25 multi-unit buildings located at Fountain Drive, Bingham way, Foulds Terrace, Baldwin and Francis Streets. This year's elderly average rent was $72.07 per month which included all utilities and $86.36 per month for Veterans' Housing which does not include utilities. The financial responsibilities, which are incurred by the Authority, are met by o combination of rental income and State and Federal Subsidies. This past year the Authority was successful in securing Federal Funds for the purpose of expanding its Rental Subsidized Program. The Authority's application to subsidize tenants in existing housing, to be assisted pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 was approved Juno 29, 1979. An 2nnual contribution contract for $75,8BB.00., was executed between the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Authority. This program is designed to provide a Federal Subsidy for housing to eligible moderate and low income families as well as to elderly individuals. The goal of the program is to coordinate both the private and public sector for the purpose of meeting the housing needs of our community. It offers North Andover resident families in need of housing or housing assistance a choice of residence amoung virtually every apartment that qualifies with the ~ousing Code Guidelines and Fair Market Rental Guidelines. The success of this program is greatly dependent upon the support of our local land- lords which I am pleased to report has been most cooperative. The Authority is proud to announce the commencement of construction for the much needed 45 units of Elderly and Handicapped Housing, located in the downtown area, on Belmont Street. Although, this project has been somewhat delayed, it has been as a result of the Authority exercising every precaution to insure high standards of design, construction, and architectural treatment. Compliance with these standards will produce a positive interaction of our public housing and the community. Invitotions requesting bids for this project were advertised in construction publications in Boston and local newspapers. The Authority received three bids from the following general contractors: James J. Welch Co., Inc. Salem, MA $1,599,450.00 DeIolis Brothers Lynn, MA $1,684,800.00 Charles Construction Co., Inc. North Andover, MA $1,484,421.00 After concurrence with HUD the bid was awarded to Charles Construction Company of North Andover, the low bidder. This project will be 100% funded by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Renewal with a total authorized development cost of $1,840,314.00. The Authority expresses its sincere appreciation to the Town Departments and Citizens of North Andover who supported and assisted the Authority in the development of this much needed Elderly Housing, and in our continous effort to provide adequate housing for all residents of our community. 3O Respectfully submitted, Louis P.

The 1979 Annual Town Meeting Warrant contained thirteen Personnel Board articles which dealt with cost of living increases, changing the Police and Fire Chief's salary from the 2.0 bill, and re-wording areas of the By-Law so that it would be updated and more explicit. The Personnel Board holds monthly meetings at the Town Mall meeting room. Many hearings were also held in 1979 in keeping with the four percent tax cap. The administrative employees and employees covered by the Personnel By-Law received the same cost of living increases as the three unions. Their fringe benefits were also increased to coincide with the benefits given to the union employees. Two new members were appointed to the Personnel Board this year. The Board has been very conscientious about seeking comparable benefits for the employees covered under the By-Law. The members are volunteers who very willingly give of thier time and effort for their Town. Respectfully submitted, Donald J. Smith, Chairman Joseph Willis William Blackstock Ceceiia Landry Michael Leary Connie Connors, Secretary 31 PLANNING BOARD In the 1979 annual election Paul A. Hedstrom, Esq. was elected to the Board. He replaced William N. Salemme who chose not to run for re-election. During the term on the Board, Bill unselfishly worked many long hours beyond the regular meeting in the conduct of the Board's activities; and for that we wish to extend to Bill a sincere and appreciative ~'thank you". At the reorganizational meeting, officers were unanimously elected aS follows: William Chepulis, Chairman; John J. Monteiro, Vice-Chairman; Paul A. Hedstrom, Clerk; Joyce A. DiTore, North Andover representative to the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission. In August 1978 our first Town Planner, Leonard E. Phillips, resigned to work for another community. In March 1979, after screening and selecting candidates, the Board hired Susan M. St. Pierre to fill the vacancy of Town Planner. It is important at this time to repeat that this position benefits greatly the best interests of the Town and the productivity of the Board. During the year, there were 22 regular meetings, 14 special meetings, and ll public hearings. Two preliminary subdivision plans were reviewed and six definitive subdivision plans were approved. Two subdivisions, Clareton Farms East and Carleton Farms West, were disapproved, but upon appeal by the developer were app- roved by court order. Hardtcourt Estates subdivision, the area formerly known as Capion Hall, is in litigation due to several lawsuits against the Planning Board and Board of Health. It is expected that the litigation will be resolved in the fall of 1979. In the waning moments of the last fiscal year, the June 26, 1978 Special Town Meeting unanimously voted to amend the Zoning By-Laws by creating a Watershed District and adopting a Watershed Map as one step in protecting our Lake Cochichewick. Our meetings continue to be well attended by interested citizens. We appreciate their inputs to help us in arriving at fair solutions to some difficult situations. We also thank the Town Boards, officials, and Town Counsel for their voluntary cooperation and increasing interest in working with the Planning Board to ease the Town's growing pains. A generous "kudos" is extended to Gilda Blackstock, our secretary, for her continued dedication to the Board and the Town as exemplified by the efficient performance of her duties. We are indeed grateful to both Gilda and Susan for the smooth function- ing of the daily operations of the Planning Board office.

NORTH ANDOVER SCHOOL COMMITTEE Mark S. DiSalvo, Chairman Leslie C. Bernal, Ed.D. John J. Gaffny, III James P. Gordon Richard G. Haltmaier OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT NORTH ANDOVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS Annual Report of the Superintendent of Schools Dear Members of the School Committee and Citizens: Again, I have been privileged to present to you my Annual Report as your Superintendent. This is my twelfth Annual Report, and the 124th of a continuous series. Also, this is the 92nd report prepared by the Superintendent of the North Andover Public Schools and covers the period from July 1, 1978 to June 30, 1979. This past year was looked upon as the year of the "Tax Cap". Never before, during my tenure as your Superintendent of Schools, has a budget been reviewed~ discussed and finalized as wes the 1980 school budget. I feel that we should bebuoyed by the "vote of confidence" given the public schools of the com- munity by the citizens at Town Meeting last May. I considered their approval of the budget exceed- ing the 4 percent tax cap a~ a~ affirmation of support of the educational programs and policies o~ the school system, and a willingness to spend tax dollars to continue to provide education for the children of the community. Such cherished public support and confidence is the hard-earned result of the dedication of our entire staff. The maintenance of favorable public perceptions of our schools must be renewed annu- ally. There is no resting on one's laurels in public education. Again, this report will show that we have not rested on cur laurels, but that we have done much to improve our programs and the quality of education that our young people received. The following excerpts from the reports of our Assistants, Supervisors, Directors and Principals focus on the high- lights during the year. Enrollment and Buildin8 Needs On October 2, 1978, enrollment figures showed an overall increase of 70 pupils. The total enrollment on October 2, 1978 was 3,608 as compared to 3,538 pupils for the previous October let. Again, this increase is very significant when we realize that most school systems are losing school populations. With this continued growth in mind, the School Committee received the approval of the Town Meet- ing this past May to conduct a School Building Needs Survey at a cost of $6,000. Dr. John Marshall of Belmont, Massachusetts, was hired in late spring and should complete a com- prehensive building needs survey by the end of October 1979. We shall await his report, and will discuss it openly with the citizens of North Andovero Curriculum and Instruction Again, a formalized gosl-o£iented approach for the improvement of instruction was conducted in the North Andover School System. It involved the participation of staff, administrators and School Com~zittee in a needs assessment process and a delineation of the educational priorities discernible at the time of formulation. The collective judgment identified six goals for the 1978-79 school year. The following 1978-79 system goals were thus enunciated: 1. To continue the development of a comprehensive, integrated mathematics curriculum in Grades K-12. 2. To develop plans for identifying and measuring minimum competencies according to State mandate. 3. To continue the emphasis on basic skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. 36 4. To plan and implement a program designed to develop respect for community, school and self. 5. To review, evaluate and complete the social studies program in Grades K-12. 6. To review and emphasize our Career Education Program in Grades K-12. During the year, these goals were diligently pursued and at the end of the year, administrators were required to submit written evaluations detailing the degree of progress toward attainment. While the six aforementioned goals received much attention during the year, there were important happenings in every school and department of the school system. The following are brief highlights, statistical and narrative, of curriculum, program and instructional development. Department of S~ecial Needs During the 1978-79 school year, the Special Needs Department provided direct services to 589 pupils in the following prototypes: 502.1 35 502.2 383 502.3 76 502.4 74 502.5 9 502.6 1 502.7 4 502.8 11 Regular Ed Program with Modifications Integrated up to 25 percent Programs 25% - 60% Substantially Separate Day School Programs Residential Programs Home or Hospital Pre-School Programs Core Evaluations New Full - 48 Intermediate - 115 Re-Evaluations Full ~ 85 Intermediate - 255 Total Full - 133 Intermediate - 370 Greater Lawrence Educational Collaborative %he Creater Lawrence Educational Collaborative was organized in July 197~ as a consortium of the school districts of Andover, Lawrence, Methuen, North Andover and the Vocational Technical School. The Collaborative, under the direction of Mr. Malchan Stanley: - provides educational, vocational and therapeutic p~ograms for mentally, emotionally and physically handicapped children in the least restrictive, most normalized environment - acts as a resource to public school spetial education peraonnel - purchases large-volun~goods for the schools such as fuel oil and paper products By working together, the Collaborative's member districts have been able to offer high quality programs for their special needs children while cutting costs by pooling local funds and by taking advantage of State and Federal grant monies. Referrals to Collaborative programs are made through the special needs department of its member school districts. During the past school year, 23 pupils were placed in neighboring school systems. The Substantially Separate class at the Bradstreet School serviced S pupils. Of these, 2 were from A~]dover, 2 from Methuen and 4 from North Andover. Special Needs In-Service Training During this past year, two major in-service workshops ware held in the following areas: 1. Lead Reading Program, authored by Mrs. Helen Grush 2. High School In-Service on the concept of the Student Support Teams (S.S.T.) as provided by Regulation 314 Kindergarten Screenin~ A. September amd October 1978 The "Meetingstreet School Screening Test" was adopted for use as the assessment instrument beginning in September 1978. It was found that although the screening test itself was appropriate, the scor~s varied from school to school because the kindergarten teachers gave the test and had the advantage of seeing their assigned kindergarten students prior to the testing. For the screening beginning in September 1979, it has been recommended that a Team cover each school. Bach Team would consist of a Guidance Counselor, Learning Disability Teacher and Speech Therapist. ~le kindergarten teachers would monitor their classes during this period. B. ~ril and May 1979 176 in-coming kindergarten pupils were screened for possible vision and hearing problems which could interfere with learning, The three school nurses were involved and the screening procedure proceeded routinely school by school. Total 176 Tested 20 Re-Tested I1 Referred (7 vision; 4 hearing) System-Wide Curriculum Prosrams 1. A-V Department The A-V Department reports an increase in the use of audio-visual materials over the previous year. The Panmsonic videotape players, a constant problem because of mechanical failures, have been replaced with Sony Betamax players. The Betamax units were purchased under a Federal Title IV pro- ject grant. Most of the videotape library has been transferred to the Betamax format. The School and Community, a public relations film, has been completely updated and will be available for show- ing in September 1979. During the year, the department was active in community affairs, i.e. town meetings, school open house programs, P.T.O. meetings, etc. 2. Data Processing This has been a year of extreme difficulty with the data processing center at the Greater Lawr- ence Regional Vocational School. The major problems were: A. Late delivery of report cards and attendance data B. Malfunction of Optical Scanning Equipment C. Inability to extract data. The center was often unable to provide output data from the Digital Computer System Mr. John R. Robinson, Audio-Visual and Data Processing Coordinator, is confident that with new personnel now working at the center, the problems will be resolved and a smooth operation is antici- pated next year. ~. Art During the past year, the Art Department participated in many local civic as well as national events and activities. In the fall, the department participated in a cover design assignment spon- sored by the Greater Lawrence Board of Realtors as well as a poster contest on health sponsored by the Bon Secours Hospital. Art Department personnel were involved with the designs for plays, awards programs and brochures. Students in art classes at North Andover High School took part in a contest ~ponsored by Stevens Memorial Library in the dmsign of a library logo. The department once again achieved recognition in the Boston Globe National Scholastic Art Awards Exhibit, exhibiting work from the Middle School and the High School and receiving blue ribbon awards. Our High School students took part in the Saturday Art Class Program sponsored by the Massachusetts College of Art. 38 Art students at the High School were accepted into art programs in colleges and universities throughout the country. Art teachers took part in P.T.O. programs throughout the year, fnforming parents of the scope and goals of the art program. A series of art fairs and displays were hmld at individual schools at which art personnel wer~ in attendance to meet with parents and discuss the art program with them. MuSiC As promised in my 1977 Annual Report, "the entire music department, curriculum, staff assign- ments, time allotments and philosophy will be re-examined and improvements made" during this year. This was accomplished with many beneficial results, For the first time in many years, there has been no turnover of personnel. Communication between the Music Supervisor and music teachers and between the Supervisor and school principals has greatly improved. Other noteworthy developments in the Music Department were the following: A. Five divisions of the curriculum have been defined and stated in the 1977-78 report. These divisions this year were reinforced and strengthened at ali levels. With administrative support, there were in-service clinics held at the elementary level; teachers were allowed to attend con- f~r~nces and musical festivals to expand their own ideas; and the overall support of the administra- tion was extremely high. B. Working closely with thm Guidance Department, students were carefully scheduled to allow for maximum enrollments in bands and choruses at ail levels. C. A review of the entire music program was made this year and the findings were acted upon at once. D. The support to the chorus at the Middle School saw the enrollment grow from a weak 25 to 30 students to a solid 115 students. Miss Graham had to limit the enrollment for the firattime this year. E. A self-evaluation of the Middle School music course offerings was made. It represents the actual findings of staff as well as suggestions for the future. Such suggestions were also fed into the budget requests, and will be readily implemented next year. F. Flexibility was encouraged by all, both on th~ part of the music staff, non-music teachers and students, This flexibility is see~ as a positiv~ influence i~ the participation of more students in music for the future, G. Minimum standards were reviewed and reinforced at all levels. The long-sought-after compromise of "enjoyment and work" through music has become more of a reality in the overall planning and teach- ing of musical concepts. H. Performing groups were given school time at the Middle School level providing for more consistency in meeting behavioral objectives in a sequential instructional pattern. I. The Middle School band would no longer participate in marching rehearsals, thus limiting their performances to concert work only. J. The grade 8 students would be allowed to participate in marching rehearsals and performances with the High School marching band. K. Students at the High School would be allowed to join the concert band without a commitment to the marching band performances and rehearsals. L. $10,000 was allotted to the purchasing of new High School band uniforms. 39 5. Community School - Evenin[ School and Alternative Nigh Schoo~ Enrollment in the Worth Andover Community School maintained a high level of citizen participa- tion. Some 1,515 people availed themselves of courses offered during the Fall of 1978 and Winter- Spring 1979 sessions at the school. Driver Education, disco dancing, men's physical education, trim- Baltics, ballroom dancing, tennis and typing were popular offerings. In the Fall session, 23 students were in attendance at the Alternative High School and in the Winter-Spring term, 30 were in attendance. Nine pupils fulfilled the requirements for graduation and were awarded diplomas. 6. Summer School ~e North A~ov~r Summer School was in session from July 5~ 1978 to August 1~ 1978, for the review and enrichment programs and for High School make-up credit from 3uly 5, 1978 to August 15, 1978. Under the direction of Mrs. Michelle M. Fitzpatrick, this was one of the most successful summer schools held in North Andover in terms of variety of courses offered and number of pupil participants, Enrollment was 460 students, which was an increase of 41% over last year. Director Fitzpatrick attri- butes this increase to the following factors: "1. The addition of new enrichment courses to the program. 2. The institution of reading and math referral forms and checklists to be used by class- room teachers to refer students to summer school programs in reading and math. 3. The rsputation of the North Andover Public School System, which I personally feel is the biggest asset". 7. Health Education After a pilot program on the elementary level and secondary level~ health education is in the eighth full year of operation in grades K-8, and sixth full year on the High School level. Primary teachers are teaching health education at least a minimum of fifty minutes per week. Health and Physical Education teachers are teaching health education classes one period a week for the entire year in grades four through eight, and two periods a week, for a semester, for all sophomores and seniors. Health education classes are co-ed in grades six through eight, however, eighth grade students are separated during the unit on V.D. ~ae area of venereal disease is offered to eighth grade stu- dents who have parental approval. The students who do not have parental approval are rescheduled into regular physical education classes at no loss of grade. In grades ten and twelve this school year, classes have been co-ed. %~e areas of venereal diseases, family life and sex education are offered to students who have parental approval. The few students who do not have parental approval are rescheduled into regular physical education classes. The health education curriculum guide, which was updated and revised in September of 1978, includes the inclusion of health topics within a comprehensive program extending from K-12 with full attention to scope and sequence. Revision includes a new section on CPH plus the updating of the other sections. Seniors responded very well to the CPR unit. Certificates were issued to the stu- dents who completed the high standards of the American Red Cross. Several speakers from the com- munity were invited to compl~ment the regular health education classroom instruction. 8. Career Education Under Public Law 94-482, an award of $1,796 was made to the North Andover School System for the purpose of providing a Decwriter which, with the subsequent year's award, will be connected to the GIS Program held in the computer at the Regional Vocational School. This program is designed for fast, efficient retrieval of information regarding career choice information, school and college opportunities and a self-analysis factor that will assist students in career exploration. This tool is looked forward to with a high degree of anticipation and expectation, as it is our belief that it will greatly facilitate the dissemination of accurate information to parents, students and profes- sionals. 4O Successful career days were conducted during the year at North ~aldovar High School and North ABdover Middle School. tear, unity resource persons were used at the elementary level where appropriate to the curriculum. Field trips often were related to occupational choices. In January, an in-service program was designed for all teachers featuring Dr. Philip Tardinico and Catherine Hopkins. Teachers were divided into a K-6 group and a grade 7-12 group. Dr. Tardinico was the presenter for the elementary group and Mrs. Hopkins for the secondary group. The announced purpose of the program was: 1. To increase teacher awareness and enthusiasm for Career Education. 2. To spur teacher implementation of Career Education concepts in the classroom. Aa a result of this program amd with a review of the C.E, curriculum guide, teachers were required to submit two lesson plans on C.E. with a specific date of implementation in their class. In Career Education, this has been both a busy and productive school year. For the first time, we have a demonstrable measure ~hat each ~eacher has conducted at least two career education lessons. I am optimistic that the actual number of lessons per teacher is greater. Guidance The guidance services extending from pre-kindergarten to grade twelve and beyond were many and varied. Some of these are briefly reported below. The testing programs were administered as scheduled. The system-wide, standardized programs were carried out successfully through the cooperation of the administrators~ teachers and counselors. A testing report was given to the School Committee in December 1978. The High School participated in the 1978-79 Massachusetts Assessment of Basic Skills. Tests in the areas of reading, writing and mathematics were administered to a random sampling of students in Grades 9 and 11. This program was designed to gauge State-wide progress in basic skills achimvement. Mr. Jay Horowitz directed the Outreach Program this year. The meetings for High School students were held at St. Paul's Church. Students participating in the program were dismissed from school at the end of per~od five. Small group sessions were held at the Middle School for "acting out" and "withdrawn" students. Weekly meetings were held with Mr. Horowitz and his assistant, Ms. Donna Rivera. The last four weeks of the High School program were directed by Ms. Laurie Weinman. The topics covered were as follows: Self Awareness, Relationships, Assertiveness and Co~unication Skills. Statistics for the Class of 1979 showed nearly a six percent increase in four-year college place- ments; junior college enrollment declined about three percent. Armed services were down by one per- cent and employed and seeking employment increased by fourteen percent as compared to the Class of 1978. The Work-Study Program involved fifty-six students this year. Each counselor was responsible for his/her counselees and Mr. Steele served as coordinator. All participants were required to sub- mit s written report each term. %~is report consisted of his/her related work experience. The Guidance staff and the Special Needs staff put forth a cooperative effort to meet the needs of the students involved iq Chapter 766 programs. The counselors and Special Needs personnel com- municate well and, therefore, mutual undertakings bring about productive activity. A meeting for parents/guardiaus of grade eight students was held on May 8, 1979 at 7:30 p.m., in the High School auditorium. This meeting provided administrators, guidance counselors and depart- went chairmen an opportunity to acquaint the parents/guardians of the Class of 1983 with the High School programs. Prior to this meeting, the High School counselors had met with the grade eight atudents at the Middle School and St. Michael's School and distributed the Program of Studies. Grade eight orientation sessions were held on June 4 and June 6, 1979. These meetings provided information relative to the rulss and regulations of the High School and also acquainted those in attendance with the physical facility. Grade five students, also, participated in orientation sessions at the Middle School. 4~ Packets were distributed to the seniors in October. Enclosures included information relative to college applications, financial aid and career oportunities. A ?inancial Aid Night for parents was held on December 7, 1978 in the High School cafeteria at 7:00 p.m. The speaker was Ms. Christine Mordaoh, Financial Aid Director at Merrimack College. Elementary Schools The school year Just ended was a year of a wide range of activity and accomplishment in our elementary schools. The redistricting plan devised the previous year was implemented smoothly and beneficially. The kinks were ironed out of the new staff evaluation program and we now have an instrument which i~ satisfactory to teachers and administrators and which meets the intended purposes of good staff evaluation. Also, we completed curriculum review in arithmetic and social studies and adopted excellent new programs in these areas. The organizational groundwork and much of the preliminary requirements for the establishment of the Department of Education mandated Basic Skill Improvement Program was accomplished. The following is a brief report on the state of the curriculum during ~he past year. Reading The vast majority of students in our elementary schools, and I include the Middle School, are being taught to read with efficiency. The co-basal reading program, grades 1 through 6, services pupil needs thoroughly in almost all situations. For those pupils in need of special approaches and materials to assist them in learning to read~ we have available to them a fine remedial reading program and the services of the Special Needs Department. Reading scores on the most recent Stan- ford Achievement Test show that our students score above grade level on every test in the battery and, in many cases, well a grade ahead of level. It is my conclusion that our curriculum in reading is sound, and the teaching of reading is bringing about the desired results. Spel~in$ and Handwritin~ There have not been any changes undertaken during the last year (in fact, for the last several years) in our spelling and handwriting programs. Both seem to be producing satisfactory results. Stanford Achievement Tests indicate that our students are spelling at a test level a grads or more above their actual grade level. The company that we contrast with for handwriting instruction, the Rlmehart Company, gives our samples submitted high rating in penmanship. Our contract goal in these areas is t~ foster the transfer of spelling and handwriting skills from the tests and samples to consistent everyday performance. Language Arts For the second consecutive year, one of our system goals (perhaps two of our system goals) had to do with renewed emphasis in written expression. Writing is one of the three basic skills which is by State mandate beginning in 1980 subject to annual testing and public report of the results of such testing. We in the elementary schools have been particularly concerned with the ability of our students to express themselves effectively in writing. Despite two years of increased concentration on this goal, improvement of Writing Skills, I think that the tempo should be stepped up, as the goal bas not been fully attainmd. Our Stanford Achievement Tests in language are quite satisfactory, being nearly a full grade ahead of grade level in grades 4 and 5, and more than a grade level advanced in 6, 7 and 8. Of course, the Stanford Achievement Test does not require any writing on the part of students taking the test, but it is good to know that our students are in possession of the basic skills in the mechanics of language, which is necessary to the process of good written communication. Social Studies It is a pleasure to report that September 1979 will mark the beginning of a brand new, completely modern program in grades 1 through 6 in social studies. Two years ago, we completed the revision in social studies at the Middle School grades 7 and 8; thus, we now have an excellent social studies curriculum extending from the first grade through the eighth grade, and beyond that into the High School. The new series is the 1978 edition of the Macmillan Social Studies Program. This new program should provide strong education in social studies for many years to come. Arithmetic As is the case in the social studies curriculum, there will be introduced, as a result of nearly two years of curriculum rmview in arithmetic, a new and vital program ia arithmetic. It ts the 1979 edition of the D. C. Heath Math Series. Before the Math Committee decided on the new textbooks, they developed a philosophy, grade scope and Sequence, group procedures, and, in fact, a 174-page Curri- culum Guide fn arithmetic K through 8. We feel that the improveraents in the new series are signifi- cant and will produce better understanding in arithmetic. The change is not because we have been doing poorly in arithmetic on standardized test. We are not below grade level in any arithmetic test and in several grades we are significantly higher than grade expectations, The motivating con- sideration, it seems to me, was that our previous program was over ten years old and had some short- comings which ars remedied in the new program. Naturally, workshops and careful evaluation of both the new social studies and the n~w math programs will occur. The science program, SCIS, entered thc public domain in 1978, and we selected the American Science and Engineering and their SCIS II program as the curriculum design which was utilized this year. SCIS II contains improvements over the old program, and teacher experience was favorable. Although SCIS II is not the kind of science program that lends itself to measurement on achievement tests~ nevertheless, on the Science test grades 3 through 8, our students scored comfortably above grade level. Title I Since 1968, a Title I program has been operational in North Andover. It is a federally funded project to assist the educationally disadvantaged. An examination of test scores and program evalu- ation by Psychometrics, Inc., an outside evaluator, as well as our own evaluation, attests to a very Middle School Self-Evaluation A self-evaluation procedure begun in September 1978 was completed in June 1979. The process, following the format devised by the National Study of School Evaluation, provides for an indepth study of all facets of the Middle School. When the reports are published, they will be subject to the attention of staff, administrators, School Committee and the public. Remedial Reading Remedial Reading services are available to disabled readers in our elementary, Middle and High Schools. Approximately 500 students have improved thmir reading ability through the diagnostic- prescriptive instructional program and the efforts of competent and dedicated reading teachers. ~asic Skil% Improvement Each School Committee will have the responsibility to establish minimum standards for basic skills competency in the areas of'mathematics, reading and writing by no later than September i980, and minimum standards for the basic skills in areas of listening and speaking by no later than September 1981. 43 TO meet this ~ndate, much has been accomplished during the year. Our in-house co~ittees at early elementary, later elementary and secondary levels have been established and have met. In addi- tion, a syste~-wide advisory group ~made up of School Co~ittee mea~hers~ administrators, citizens and students, as well as the coordi~ator, was established by the School Co~lttee. Next year~ activity will increase and standards will be set and tests amd other evaluative criteria will be selected to determine those pnpils in our schools below standard. All this amd ~re needs to be accomplished during the next school year so that we can fully prepare to implement the requirements of the State ma~dste by September 19~O. Mr. He~ry C. Shelley was appointed by the Superintendent of Schools to serve as Coordinator. High School 9-12 The following excerpts from Principal Daniel L. Desmond's Annual Report, 3une 22, 1979, high- light some of the activities and curriculum developments which occurred during the year. English Our English depart~nt~ along with our gocial Studies, Art and Music personnel, completed the writing of a Mumanities course, The Imposslbls Dream, and as you know, it was subsequently approved by the School Co~m~ittee. Vnfortunately, the program had to be shelved because of budget limitations. Several of our English teachers were ~nvolved with a system-wide co~nittee that developed a Writing Format Guide. In my judgment, this represented an excellent piece of work. Vocational Education Among the many activities of this department~ I view the following as most sig~ificant to the improvement of our program. Federal proposals were submitted and approved Business and Office Occupations Cluster $ 9,565 ContempoYery Cooking Appliances 1,472 Small Gasoline Engines 7,009 $18,037 Appropriate revisions of present curricula were accomplished during the writing stage of this proposal. A new course, Small Engines~ will be offered in the Fall of 1979. Approxirmately seventy students have already enrolled in this program. Our teachers have been e~gaged i~ ~n articulated study of the ~ome Economics program for North Andover schools with their colleagues from the Middle School. The target date for the completion of this study ~s January 1980. Foreign Languages I am pleased to report that the study of the German language was implemented this year, and in my judgmemt, most successfully. The men, ers of this department continue to complement the language program through a highly successful ~mmersion program, tutorial programs in the resource center, honor societies, and special week-long studies that hiEhlight the importance ~f the ~tud~ of a f~reign language, The progr~ that gets the most attentiom is their International Banquet. These endeavors enhance the study of lan- guages, and I appreciate the work and planning it takes to make these programs successful. Science A subtle change i~ the grouping of Earth Science students is working better. I~e department rmports that level two students are being challenged to a greater extent~ and the level three progra~ is ~re suitable to the needs of those students. 44 As you know, independent study le an integral part of all level one programs. Sometimes in the bustle of everyday activity, the work of these students is unnoticed, Mr. Bennett reports that the quality of these projects in Advanced Biology was particularly good this year. There is a strong possibility that the research of one of our students will be published. I am pleased to report that our Music program has improved. This improvement is dire=tly attributed to Beth Graham and Kevin Lynch. The quality of the performances improved considerably during the past year, end the attitude and spirit of the students is considerably better than it was a year ago. As the image of our Music groups improves, hopefully, more students will become involved. The number of students who cease the study of Music at the end of grade sight is too high. Ar~t The work of our students in Art continues to be at a high level. The enthusiasm of the teachers contributes greatly toward the success we enjoy in this area, Certainly the Art Exhibit, held in con- Junction with our Chorus in the I.M.C., was a success. Students and parsnts were most complimentary in their comments regarding this exhibit. In-Service The most aignificast experience that most of us had during the past year was involvement im the Comprehensive Secondary School Planning Project, The two days that were spent with each other away from school were of great value. The follow-up program, the full day in lieu of the customary half- day, was fantastic. The staff really did a fine Job on that day and the morale and enthusiasm of all was tremendous. In connection with that study, three of our teachers had an opportunity to visit other schools that are using the Student Support Team concept. Their reports are most encouraging, and hopefully, we will implement a similar program next year. Transportation We had a major relocation of student assignment because of a redistricting plan which went into effect in September of 1978. Because greatest population growth is in the less populous areas of Town, we find bus population growing faster than general school population. In September, it was necessary to add an additional elementary bus route (route ~14). This was approved by the School Committee.

During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1979, we had a C.E.T.A. painting project. Six experienced painters worked 13 weeks, Total cost of the project was approximately $30,000, of which C.E.T.A. supplied $18,000 and North Andover supplied $12,000. 5. New suspended ceilings were hung in the main lobby and the gym lobby at the Middle School. 6. Thirty soda-a~id fire extinguishers were replaced with pressurized water at the request of the insorance company. We still have about 10-12 more to be replaced. 7. A vandal alarm system was installed in the High Sebool. g. Wall cracks were repaired ac the Middle School and at the High School. Carpeting was repaired at the Franklin School. 10, New side steps were built at the Bradstreet School. The Honeywell computerized heating controls for the Nigh School have had a second year of operation. We find total usage for the year w~th~n one percent of the previous year. Currently, the High School is operating about 23 pertent below designed use in electricity. 12. Oil has had a fantastic price escalation. As we filled out the budget in November, we were paying about $15.00 per barrel for #4 oil, We carried $19.50 (a 30% increase) in the budget for 1979-80. By the start of that year, price ~s $21.50 per barrel. Most recent price is $2~.69 per barrel. We buy about 4,000 barrels per year, so we can expect about $22,000 deficit in the oil bud- get if prices were to hold. However~ prices are expected to rise even more for oil during the coming ycsr. 13. Emergency generators have been overhauled at the Franklin and Middle Schools~ i4. We had two water emergencies at the Middle School. Both happened during the second shift operation and were quickly found by the custodians. Prompt action in both cases averted major damage. 15. We had to fill out an extensive lighting report ~or the State Department of Energy. It involved determining the dimensions of every room, closet, etc. in the system and reporting wattage in each place. Mr. Walter Walker~ Sen~or Custodian at the Middle Schoal, did a great deal of work on this report. 16. As usual, we had 9-10 summer youth workers. This program is financed by C.E.T.A., and administered by the Lawrence Community Action Council. Six workers were given custodial assignment and the balance worked i~ the Sur~mer School office as clerical help.

The annual report and legal notice were posted in compliance with Section 37, Chap- ter 98 of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Sealer's report relative to inspections, reweighting and measuring devices of various types were tested, adjusted and sealed. Legal sealing fees amounting to $755.40, were collected end tunned over to the Town Treasurer. During the year, 87 complaints were investigated and resolved to the satisfaction of all parties involved. Requests for additional services relative to retesting of weighting and measuring devices were complied with promptly. The constant reweighingprogram of prepackaged items totaled 2937 articles; 2527 were found correct, 264 were overweight while 146 articles were under the indicated weight. Thirty one peddlers and transient vendors licenses were inspected and articles for sale were examined. This office has recently received and reviewed a memorandum from the Office of Weights and Measures of the National Bureau of Standards concerning the short term issue of utilizing interim methods on existing equipment when the price of gasoline exceeds $1.00 per gallon. This office agrees with the concepts outlined in their memorandum in suggesting 1/2 gallon pricing and recommends that this ractice be followed on these dispensers which are not capable of pricing over 1.O0 per gallon. The Office of Weights and Measures is receiving many inquiries and requests for guidance from consumers on this matter, The need is for both a short-term method to deal effectively, economically and expeditiously with the "$1,00 a gallon" problem and a long-term plan for the measurement and marketing of petroleum products at retail. It is also our view that existing computing capabilities should be used until dispensers can be retrofitted with new or modified computers that will conform to a long-term solution. The steps to be taken include: l, Recommend that gasoline be priced in even tenths of a cent (for example, $1.002, $1.004, $1.006, or $1.008). 2. Set the unit price at one-half the selling price (for example, if the price per gallong is $1.030, set the variator at 51.9¢). 3. Affix labels to the face of the pump using figures that are the same size as existing figures, as follows: ia) immediately beneath the unit price indica- tion, add the term "cents per 1/2 g~llon"; (b) immediately beneath "cents per 1/2 gallon" add the correct unit price per gallon; (c) immediately beneath the total price display, add the term "1/2 total sale" To energy saving, wood burning consumers, for your information: Measurement and Delivery of cordwood and Firewood. Re: Chapter 253, acts of 1979, Commonwealth of Massachusetts ammended section 298-299 of Chapter 94, Effective September 6, 1979. The main change in Sections 298 and 299 is that cordwood and firewood can legally after September 6, 1979, be sold, offered or advertised only in terms of cubic feet or cubic meters to be delivered to the purchaser. The net quantity delivered 62 is to be determined when closely stacked. Closely stacked does not mean cross stacked.,, Also, meaning' ]ess terms previously used by dealers to confuse consumers, such as face cord, pile or truckload" will be illegal to use after September 6, 1979. Definition: Cordwood: Firewood: Sold or offered for sale shall be four feet in length. Shall be construed to mean and include wood cut to any lenghts of less than four feet and more than eight inches. Kindling Wood: Shall be construed to mean and include all spilt wood, edging, chipping or other easte woods averaging eight inches in length. Standard unit of measure for kindling wood shall be the bushel of two thousand, one hundred and fifty and forty-two hundredths cubic inches. A sales ticket or sales invoice must be issued to purchasers. Sales ticket or in- voice must include both seller and purchaser's names and addresses, quanity delive- red in term of cubic feet or cubic meter, date delivered and price of wood delivered. If you have not already started climbing the wall, rest assured you will be by October l, 1980, when your shoe size goes metric. Shoe Sizes will go Metric Next Year; If you have an average size foot-about l0 inches-your shoe size will be 254 come October l, 1980. That isbecause shoe manufacturers and retailers worldwide are gearing up for Mondo point - a new shoe sizing system based on the metric system - and October l, 1980, is the target date for putting it into effect. The International Organization for Standardization says Mondopoint will eliminate the need for sizing shoes according to the country where they'll be sold. To determine your Modopoint shoe size, simply measure your foot-not your shoe-from heel to toe in millimeters If you don't have a millimeter ruler, use a standard ruler and multiply by 25.4 since one inch equals 25.4 millimeters. P.S. The Sealer of Weights and Measurers does not measure bare feet. I wish to thank the owners and managers of the various mercantile, mechanical and manufacturing concerns for their cooperation and courtesy extended to this department during the year. Respectfully submitted, Ernest J. Roberts Sealer of Weights & Measures 63 STEVEN'S MEMORIAL LIBRARY To the Citizens of North Andover, Massachusetts: The Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library here with present their 71st report which is for the twelve-month period, July 1, 1978 to June 30, 1979. This report includes the report of the Director. lo the Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library: I hereby submitthe 71st report of the Director. Gloomy economic conditions have sometimes been correlated to increased library circulation and true to this theory, the Library's circulation showed very good gains and some new records were set in adult and childrens circulation. I am sure that part of the increases are due to the growth of the town and also a national trend toward getting back to books. We have continued to operate seven days per week, except July and August, and have circulated to the area residents over 7 items per person. Since the average price per book is over $16.00, this means that each and every person is receiving on average over $1DO worth of books and related materials for only about $8,50 per person in local taxes. These cost figures do not include our program services such as films, lectures, children's programs, concerts, exhibits and Reference Services. The public library is the best on-going bargain in town. PRDGRAMS, EXHIBITS & OTHER SERVICES Adult programming this past year included a book discussion group, poetry readings, a speed reading course, a job resume/hunting series, lectures on house plants and landscaping, free rare book appraisals, a concert, lectures on picture framing, cosmetics and the Machine Shop Village, films, and a St. Patrick's Day gala. Exhibits, many of which were provided by local people and organizations included Ukranian Easter Eggs, several local photographer's works, wall hangings and crafts by the High School and Senior Citizens, a display on the Machine Shop Village, political buttons, antique toys, and a brief return of the priceless Ann 8radstreet Manuscript. If you have something you would like to display, please let us know. The Children's Library set new records in circulation and attendance at programs. The Summer program, the pre-school story hours, films, crafts, school visits, and timely displays were all well received and popular. The meeting room, which is available free of charge to any non-profit group, was used a total of 202 times this past year. Our free passes to the Museum of Fine Arts and Essex Institute were again popular as were the art prints and large print books. For the handicapped reader, we have a special magnifying lens, elevator access, and we can provide service to shut-ins, and deposit collections to nursing homes. During the year the trustees received many donations in memory of past local residents. These donations have helped build our collection of books, espacially large print books, and have been suitably marked with a book plate. We continue to benefit from the services provided by the Eastern Regional Libr- ary System. Our ability to receive books and other materials through inter- library loan (ILL), to borrOW films, and use the regional bookmobile, help us provide the best possible service. I would like to thank the library staff who have worked very hard to keep the library operating 71 hours per week. A special word of thanks should also go to all staff members and Mrs. Walter H. Flinn, the past chairman of the Board of Trustees. Russell J. Reeve, Director 64 This last year the Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library revised the operating policies of the library, purchased a new copier, selected chairs to be reupholstered and directed that the front steps, brick work, and a gutter drain be repaired. We would like to thank the Selectmen for the use of C.E.T.A. personnel, the Highway, Public Works, and Tree Departments for their generous help in assisting the Director on several of these and other projects. With great regret, we accepted the resignation of a valued member, Mr. Roland B. Hammond, who served as a Trustee for ten years. We would also like to note the addition of Mr. E. William Hansen and Mr. John Strobel as new trustees. We extend sincere thanks to every library staff member who worked, Mr. Roland B. Hammond, who served as a Trustee for ten years. We would also like to note the addition of Mr. E. William Hansen and Mr. John Strobel as new trustees. We extend since thanks to every library staff member who worked so faithfully over the year to achieve our goals, including the Sunday afternoon hours. Their dedication is appreciated by us and by the community. Respectfully submitted, Mr. William B. Duffy, Jr., Chairman Mrs. Walter H. Flinn Mr. John Strobel, Secretary Mrs. Joseph A.

Under Article 89 it was voted to use $300,000 from Revenue Sharing Funds as follows: $150,000 for Police Salaries and $150,000 for Fire Salaries. Town Meeting also appropriated under separate articles $826,820. Of these articles $275,000 was raised by bond issue, $20,000 was taken from the Stabilization Fund and $50,000 was taken from Free Cash for the Reserve Fund. During the fiscalyear the Advisory Board authorized the transfer of $50,000 from the Reserve Fund for unforeseen needs of various departments. The Town Meeting voted to use $350,000 from availalbe funds to reduce the tax rate. At the beginning of this fiscal year (July l, 1978) the outstanding long term debt was $6,429,000 and at the end of the fiscal year it was $5,916,000. Of this sum $435,000 is inside the debt limit, $4,995,000 is outside the debt limit and $486,000 is water debt. I would like to thank Carol Melvidas and Mary Lachapelle for their help and assistance.

In order to compensate for the loss of these public shade trees, the department has a continuing restoration program of tree planting which include the latest varieties of hardy and relatively disease free trees available; Red Sunset Maple, Crimson King Maple, Bradford Callery Pear, Armstrong Red Maple, Green Mountain Sugar Maple, Greenspire Linden, Rosehill White Ash, Radient Crabapple,Spring Snow Crab- apple, Marshall Seedless Ash, and Summershade Norway Maple. It is anticipated that this year (1980) there will be an increase in the Gypsy Moth population which could prove to be a major problem. This pest put in an appearance last year for the first time in many years and as these insects develop in cycles, we can expect they may become a nuisance unless some effort is made to control their defoliation of town trees. The North Andover Improvement Society again deserves a vote of thanks for their contribution to the Arbur Day purchase of Douglas Fir seedlings which were pack- aged by the Tree Department and distributed to fourth and fifth grade students.
