GEO. A. PARKER,
ANDOVER, Jan. 14, 1901.
TREASURER.
AUDITORS' CERTIFICATE
We have examined the accounts of the several Town Officers and find them correctly cast, with vouchers for all payments, except that eight receipts were missing or had not been returned up to the time of our examination. As these bills were all recorded on the books of the Auditors, Select- men and Treasurer, the correctness of the accounts is not in the least affected.
The Town Treasurer has on deposit in the Andover National Bank and cash on hand $1,397.90. Also $40.00 to the credit of the Water Loan and $8,784.12 to the credit of the Sewer Loan.

MEMORIAL HALL
THIRTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The statistical report of the Librarian may be found on another page, and that of the Superintendent of the Cornell Art Collection is given below : -
Number of visitors : adults, 1096; children, 2484 ; total, 3580 ; average daily attendance, 35. The collec- tion of stereoscopic views has been increased by the gift of fifty pictures from Miss Agnes Park. These views, aside from being used in the Art Room, have been loaned, in limited numbers, to teachers in the higher grades of the public schools and in the Punchard School, for use in their classes.
JULIA E. TWICHELL.
Little need be added to these reports to indicate the con- stant and beneficent usefulness of the Memorial Hall Library in its different departments - circulation of books, reading room, reference room, art room. No one feature has been more satisfactory than the enthusiastic interest taken by children and youth in the examination of the stereoscopic views, both in the Art Room, and as shown them in their class-rooms. One item in the Superintendent's report above may suggest to citizens to add to the stereoscopic collection such domestic or foreign views as they have no further use for in their homes.

It is also suggested that published discourses, together with printed matter or written records of any kind, bearing on the earlier or later history of the town, might properly be sent to the Library for careful preservation. All such ma- terial will be invaluable in years to come:
The attention of patrons of the Library is called to the op- portunity of quiet examination of works of reference, in vari- ous departments, in the Cornell Reference Room. To these are now added the monthly Cumulative Book Index, and Poole's Index to Periodical Literature, the several annual volumes of which have been consolidated into one.
The number of books purchased during the past two years has fallen below the usual average on account of the neces- sity of using a part of the fund in printing the new cata- logue. The funds available for the purchase of books are at best insufficient to secure many works which the Trustees would gladly add to the list. It will be remembered, too, that a considerable sum is spent every year in replacing the books worn out by circulation.
