The Public Park.
The Committee on Public Park beg leave to report as fol- ows :
A public park in Andover may not be of such urgent need as are many other improvements, but it has seemed best to your committee to consider the future and not the present in preparing this report. On the east side of the " Old Rail- road, " between Andover and North Andover, the town owns a tract of woodland, familiarly known as " Carmel Woods, " whose rolling surface and handsome groves might be made into a beautiful park.
This piece of land may be considered to be quite a distance from the centre, but there are several reasons why it comes into this report for consideration. The town owns it; its surface is broken by pretty knolls and glens, and attractive groves, walks and drives could be laid out within its borders with a small outlay each year.
It is the judgment of your committee that a landscape gardner or some forrester should be secured to lay out this piece of land on a plan, and year by year a small sum should be appropriated to cut a few trees, make a few walks, and all being in accord with a definite, well-defined plan, would in a few years give to our town an attractive pleasure ground with but little expenditure of money.
The committee further recommends that the town carefully consider the land known as the " Richardson lot," and its value to the town if acquired and improved. This piece of
117
land is the best located of any plat in town for a local, cen- tral public play-ground. It is not large enough to be con- sidered as a public park, but its size easily admits of an ample and first-class play-ground, intersected by walks and dotted by bits of lawn, all making a delightful breathing place for old and young. Its near location to the school buildings owned by the town, and the assured growth of the town should be considered.
The question of draining the centre of town finds a partial solution in the lowering of Stony Brook : the control of the Richardson lot puts this brook into the hands of the town and its lowering would afford not only the proper drainage of this land, but many acres of land back of the Richardson property, desirable and attractive for building purposes, if properly drained. The filling in of low places in this land, if owned by the town, could be done as the town was able, and by use of refuse matter now used to fill in private land, need not be an expensive job.

Sewerage.
The Committee on Drainage and Sewerage having looked over the most thickly settled portion of the town are unani- mous in concluding that the time has arrived when the Town should, without delay, secure a competent surveyor's plan, specifications, and estimates, for the construction of such a system of sewerage as may be acceptable to the Town and State board of health. The committee have no desire to cite individual cases to convince the citizens that a necessity exists demanding the better protection of the Town against dis- ease, and would recommend that the Town elect commission- ers to carry a system of sewerage into effect.
