REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
To the Citizens of Andover :
Your Board of Public Works submit their seventh annual report, embracing the ninth of the Sewer and the seventeenth of the Water Systems for the year ending January 10th, 1906.
SEWER DEPARTMENT
About 48 feet of pipe on Whittier street is all the addition to the sewer this year. No extensive repairs have been re- quired and no trouble has developed in the usual working of the system.
The filter beds with the usual repairs that are common each spring are in very good condition. Thus far this man- ner of disposing of the sewage has been very satisfactory and as it now appears it will not be very long before all inland cities and towns will have to adopt some process of filteration of the sewage or dispose of it by some other method than running it directly to some flowing stream to be carried away and distributed along the banks. Should this be the case, this town will be all right without any change or extra expense.
The bonded debt is now $70,000 and the sinking fund $3,212.33 leaving a net bonded debt of $66,787.67. Since the first year the town has not made any appropriation di- rectly for either the sinking fund or for maintenance, or in- terest, all of these thus far coming from sewer assessments. But as the sinking fund is now very small, it having been required from time to time to redeem bonds as they matured, it will be necessary for the town for several years to come, to appropriate money for this fund as many of the bonds
mature in a few years and the receipts from assessments will not be sufficient for their redemption. Enough, however, will be received for all ordinary expenses, for a few years more.

Additions to street lines have been made on Pine, Corbett and Reservation streets.
The receipts from water rates show a steady increase. All water rates due to October 1st, 1905 have been collected.
The water has been exceptionally good which is very grati- fying as during the past year there has been more than usual trouble with the water in the different systems in the state.

A number of applications for a supply of water have been received which if their requests are granted will necessitate the laying of considerable street pipe.
While this Board has always favored granting to the citi- zens all privileges consistent with the welfare of the system and the town, it is a question whether it is good policy for the town to lay pipe on streets where there is little or no prospects of the line ever being utilized to any extent beyond what is visible at the time. Whenever a special line of pipe is laid and only 4 per cent. collected on the cost of the line the town receives nothing whatever for the water furnished, and all expenses for pumping the extra water and the care and maintenance of the system with this extra expense must of necessity come from some other source.
The repairs on the coal shed at the station have been of a permanent nature, as few as possible and the whole building is now in many respects in much better condition than formerly.
The station has had no repairs and none were needed. The grounds about the station are not in harmony with the building, the amount of money available for several years has not justified the Board in expending much to improve the surroundings.
Sometime it is hoped that funds will be provided and the grounds improved and made more attractive.
A new boiler will be required to replace the old one which has outlived its usefulness, and is now or soon will be unsafe for the duty required.
George E. Hussey who has very acceptably filled the po- sition of clerk and collector for the past ten years, resigned at the close of the year and Frank L. Cole was elected to the position.
Very respectfully,
JOHN L. SMITH FELIX G. HAYNES LEWIS T. HARDY JOHN W. BELL JAMES C. SAWYER 1
