OVERSEERS OF POOR
The town is fortunate in still retaining the services of Mr. and Mrs. Burnham. The house is in good condition. As you will see on Page fourteen of the inmates are over sixty years of age, which necessitates on the part of Mrs. Burnham a great deal of care and attention. Some of these old. people are bed-ridden and almost entirely helpless. These unfortunate ones look on Mrs. Burnham as their best friend. The house every year receives a visit from the State Inspectors, and in the printed report of the State Board of Charities the Andover Almshouse stands second to none in the condition of the house and the care of the patients. The expense is only $1.69 per week for each inmate and the in- mates are well clothed and fed, and with Mr. Burnham's good management the receipts from the farm are $3016.32.
We invite the people of the town, both men and women, to visit the Almshouse and note its condition and the pro- vision made for the care and comfort of the inmates.

CEMETERY COMMITTEE
The Committee of Spring Grove Cemetery herewith sub- mit their report of the receipts and expenditures for the year ending January, 1902.
The regular work has been performed in the matter of keeping the grounds in proper condition and new lots have been plotted for burial purposes.
As many of the lots are not provided with deposits, the in- come therefrom to be used for the perpetual care of said lots, and as the appropriation made by the town should not be ap- plied to private lots, your committee would suggest that own- ers of lots avail themselves of the statute provision in regard to deposits of funds for the care of cemetery lots. This seems advisable, as families move from town and the burial places of friends and relatives are neglected. Sunken ground, growing weeds and fallen headstones are unpleasant sights in a cemetery and there are several notable examples of this neglect in the Spring Grove Cemetery. Your committee de- sires to concrete gutters and waterways in the cemetery and contemplates the building of a stone bridge over Central Av. enue, connecting the east with the west plotted ground.
As there is much work to be done in the cemetery in the matter of new walks, etc., your committee would ask for the usual appropriation of $300, and the proceeds of sale of lots for the care of the cemetery for the coming year.

PARK COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
In order to take the proper care of the unexpected quan- tity of gravel, stones and soil taken from Main street and turned over to the commissioners for grading purposes on the Common, we overdrew the appropriation, knowing that thereby we were saving the town more than double the amount overdrawn.
Eighty dollars and fifty cents was expended on Carmel Woods for cutting brush, raking leaves, ciearing up and burning same, and making some repairs on the driveway.
