OVERSEERS OF POOR ..
We consider ourselves fortunate in still retaining the ser- vices of Mr. and Mrs. Burnham ; the house is a model of neatness. Quite a large proportion of the inmates are old people who require considerable attention, and Mrs. Burn- ham seems specially adapted to care for the old ladies under her charge. Those unfortunate people seem happy and con- tented and look upon Mrs. Burnham as their best friend.
The management of the farm under Mr. Burnham con- tinues to show a marked improvement. The receipts from the farm the past year were $3,159.61. The report of the State Inspector classes the management and care of the in. mates one of the best in the state.
We would invite the people of the town, both men and women, to visit the Almshouse and note its condition and the provision made for the care and comfort of the inmates.

CEMETERY COMMITTEE
The Trustees of Spring Grove Cemetery herewith submit their annual report with statement of receipts and expendi- tures for the year ending January 1, 1900.
A new plot of about twelve acres connected with the older portion of the cemetery has been plotted for burial purposes and much work performed to prepare the same for the sale of lots.
It is thought best, by your committee, that many of the lots, in the newly plotted grounds, be sold for such an amount as shall provide for the perpetual care of said lots, the increased amount to be held by the treasurer of the town in accordance with Chap. 186, Acts and Resolves of 1884. The walks and drives have been well cared for and the newer grounds cleared of debris. The plan of this part of the cemetery is well arranged for the purposes intended for its use, and in the years to come Andover will become pos- sessed of a cemetery that for natural beauty and artificial adornment will be a credit to the town. Your committee would recommend the usual appropriation of $300 and the . proceeds from sale of lots, for the care of the cemetery for the coming year.

PARK COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
Herewith is presented an account of receipts and disburse- ments for the year, showing a balance of 87 cents unex- pended.
On account of the amount used in setting out new trees and pruning old ones, on the highways, the Commis- sioners have been unable out of the appropriation for the year, to make the contemplated change at the gravel bank at Carmel. This they intend to put into shape in the early spring. The work at Carmel is generally so far advanced as not to require much expenditure ; though much money might be spent in cutting off dead limbs, and in kindred work. But as the woods are today, no great sum of money is needed to keep them in good condition and make moder- ate improvements. The commissioners therefore for gen- eral purposes ask for $500 for the current year.
