REPORT
OF THE
Selectmen and Assessors.
SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL-HOUSES.
The estimates of the School Committee for the coming year will require for Schools, $17000 ; School-houses, $1000 ; School-books and supplies, $1000. The increased appropria- tion for Schools is required to lap over till March meeting, as the teachers are to be paid monthly hereafter. This extra is only for this year. In order to provide for the completion of the Ballard Vale School-house the unexpended balance of the appropriation for said building must be carried over, or re-appropriated.
PAY OF TOWN OFFICERS.
A larger appropriation will be required for the payment of Town Officers than last year. The Water Commissioners being chosen at a special Town meeting, no provision was made to pay them, hence two years' salary will be required, The decennial valuation of the Town the present year will also require extra expense. The Selectmen therefore recom- mend an appropriation of $8000.
TOWN HOUSE.
The proposed changes in the Town House will demand a larger appropriation for the coming year. If the Post-Office.
45
as is now anticipated, occupy the lower Town Hall, and the present Post-Office room be fitted for town offices, extra expense will be incurred. We also recommend that the Town House be heated by steam. If this is not done, and the new arrangement above indicated is carried into effect, it will be necessary to run nine portable stoves, besides the furnaces in the cellar. The danger from fire would be much increased, as will be readily seen. The furnaces are in need of extensive repairs, or else being replaced by new and larger ones. We believe the time has come for a change. We therefore ask for an appropriation of $2500 for the purposes indicated.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Engineers ask for $2500 for running expenses.
HIGHWAYS BRIDGES AND SIDEWALKS.
The present system of repairing our Highways through Highway Surveyers can no longer exist; the law of 1890 requiring the Selectmen to appoint a Superintendent of Streets if the Town refuses to elect Road Commissioners. Whichever way the Town may determine at its annual meeting, the usual amount of money will be required to keep the ways in passable condition. If permanent im- provement is desired, a larger sum will be required. We recommend an appropriation of $8000 for this purpose, and for Sidewalks $1000.
REMOVING SNOW.
It will not be prudent to appropriate less than $800 for this purpose.
HIGHWAY HORSES.
Under this head, in another part of the Report, the figures speak for themselves. The horses have paid for their keeping, and earned enough besides to purchase a new sled and har-
46
ness to the amount of $175. This department is now in excellent condition, being thoroughly equipped to do road work for a number of years to come. The use of the horses and driver was given to Surveyor C. W. Hayward, in ad- dition to his share of the highway money, when not wanted for fire purposes. During the winter, when not otherwise employed, they have been kept at work building a sidewalk between the West church and Frye Village, an improvement long needed. We ask for $1200 for support of horses and pay of driver.
STREET LIGHTING.
The Committee on Street Lighting recommend an increased appropriation for this department, to meet the demand for more light. $3500 is asked for.
PRINTING AND STATIONERY.
$1000 will be required, in view of the additional amount of printing to be done the coming year.
STATE AID.
Whatever is paid under this head is re-imbursed by the State. $1400 will be needed.
MILITARY AID.
The appropriation for 1889 was overdrawn, therefore we ask for a larger amount-$900.
MEMORIAL DAY.
An appropriation of $200 is asked for.
INSURANCE.
We think an appropriation of $300 will meet expenses.
47
SPRING GROVE CEMETERY.
The Committee think $200 will be sufficient, with the avails of the sales of lots and grass.
HAY SCALES.
The usual sum of $50 will be sufficient.
SHADE TREES.
We recommend $100, as last year, for this purpose.
STATE AND COUNTY TAXES.
We can only estimate the amount needed for these pur- poses. The State Tax last year was $5820.00; and County Tax, $5864.41. We recommend $6000 for State, and $6000 for County Taxes the coming year.
DISCOUNT ON TAXES.
The appropriation needed can only be estimated by the amount the Town votes to raise by taxation. On the basis of last year, $3500 will be required.
ABATEMENT AND REMISSION OF TAXES.
$400 will be sufficient for these purposes.
INTEREST ON NOTES AND FUNDS.
Of this appropriation $1296 is yearly paid as interest on the Memorial Hall and Old Proprietors' permanent Funds, for which the Town is liable. To meet the interest on the Water Bonds will require $5000. We believe an appropria- tion of $7000 will be needed for all purposes.
48
WATERWORKS.
The Water Commissioners ask for $3000 for running expenses, and $5000 for Service-pipe. We therefore recom- mend the appropriation of $8000 on Waterworks account.
SUIT AGAINST THE TOWN.
A man named Peter Harrison, residing on Maple Avenue, has brought a suit against the Town to recover $2000 for alleged injuries resulting from falling into a little trench around one of the trees on Elm Street, made by the con- tractor who was removing them. We are advised that the Town is probably not liable, and the injury was not serious.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Unforeseen contingencies are liable to arise, requiring ex- penditure of money, to meet which this appropriation is made. The appropriation for 1889 was insufficient. We advise the appropriation of $1500 for 1890.

Overseers' Report.
The condition of the Almshouse Department remains nearly the same as it was one year ago. The buildings are in ex- cellent repair, and the farm is well improved.
We quote the following from the Visitation Reports of the State Board of Health, Lunacy, and Charity :
" Andover has an Almshouse of brick two stories high, with a basement, heated by steam. It contains good bath- rooms, has hot and cold water carried over the house, a chapel on the second floor, and is in every respect well built and well appointed. It is a model of neatness, and is well supplied with bedding. Every part of it was found in perfect order, and there appears to be a friendly eeling between the officers and the inmates. The inmates were seen at supper ; their food was good and abundant, and they were well clothed. The farm contains seventy-five acres."
The Town can rest assured that its poor and its property will be well cared for while Mr. and Mrs. Allen remain in charge.
The income from the farm has considerably increased over that of 1888, reducing the cost per capita to $1.78 for the past year.
