IN GENERAL
Extra duties which this department was called upon to per- form during the past year have carried its expenses beyond the
95
amount appropriated. These expenses were due to the money necessary to meet the hiring of special officers on account of the feeling of uneasiness on the part of residents because of the con- tinued reports of hold-ups. These reports caused numerous complaints that had to be investigated, after requiring the ser- vices of a team as well as extra officers.
In some instances we have gone to considerable expense to run down criminals, perhaps more than our limited means would jus- tify. On the night of August second a citizen of West Andover had his hen-house entered and twenty-five hens stolen. Septem- ber sixteenth we located in Boston an Italian whose home was in Lawrence, brought him before the Lawrence Police Court, and he was sent to the House of Correction for three months. This conviction cost the police department about sixteen dollars.
On April second one of our residents had a valuable dog stolen. Several trips were made to Lynn. About a week later the guilty party was arrested and fined twenty-five dollars, at an expense of about ten dollars. Instances of this kind require the expenditure of considerable money, but seem to be necessary, or else let the guilty party go not apprehended.
Owing to the fact that business generally has been dull the past summer, many people, particularly foreigners, have been out of work and roaming about. Complaints of larceny of fruit and vegetables have been numerous, and generally these people have been the offenders. Of those arrested the past year sixty-six have been non-residents.
In the section of the town south of Punchard Avenue and be- tween Bartlet and Phillips streets, it has been almost impossible for some of the residents to derive any benefit from their gar- dens, and in some instances even their flowers and plants have disappeared. On this account, and owing to the fact that so many houses are vacant during the summer months, it has been neces- sary to employ officers to some extent in this section. Every season there are breaks in this location, which is poorly protected. For three hundred dollars a night watch could be maintained here from July to November. This I would recommend.
96
It is the aim of this department to have an officer within call at all times, and for this purpose a large bell connected with a telephone has been installed on the front of the town house which may be heard by an officer in the square.
This telephone is maintained at an expense of about four dollars per month.
AUTOMOBILES
In the spring and early summer an automobile trap was main- tained, resulting in the arrest and conviction of a number for excessive speed. On account of an agreement between the au- thorities and the automobile association the trap was discontinued for about a month. The association failed to keep its agreement and it was found advisable to maintain the trap again. A number of arrests and convictions followed, and while the fines from these cases were turned into the town treasury ($290.00), none of the money was available to meet the expenses of this depart- ment ..
There has been some criticism about the advisibility of main- taining an automobile trap. I believe the trap has been a success in a marked degree, not merely owing to the fact that we have secured convictions, but that autoists being aware that a trap was operated in Andover used more caution in driving through the town.
During the month that it was known that no trap might be found, the speed limit was over run to a greater extent.
Considerable leeway has been allowed in each case. The allow- able speed was more than doubled before an arrest was made.
Respectfully submitted,
L. D. POMEROY, Chief of Police.

PARK COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
The end of the new work in the Common is in sight. Another year will see the place in excellent shape. This year the dam was made permanent and the north side of the brook walled in, walks laid out and the grading completed as far as the grove. The Commissioners hope to introduce many native plants and shrubs. Following this plan a bed of native viburnums, one of cardinal flower, rhodora, and a few others have been set out this year. Three seats were placed in the grove and they seem to fill a popular want.
In Carmel Park the bushes bordering the paths have been cut and a great deal of trimming done. The reservation is in good shape. The Commissioners regret to note a spirit of destruction which seems to prevail at times. The seats in Carmel Park which were built years ago, and which with good care would last a life- time, have been practically ruined by having the zinc covering cut and dented in many places.
The town gives generously of its money to provide pleasure for all. It is to be regretted that this is defeated in part by the selfishness and lawlessness of the few. The action of the Select- men in appointing a special park policeman did much to correct this evil. There is, however, room for much improvement.
The town sustained a great loss in the death of Mr. T. Franklin Pratt, one of the Park Commissioners. He took an active interest in this department and had been for four years a most useful member of the Commission.
With the appropriation of $1000. for this year, your board believes that the construction work in the Common will be com- pleted so that about one-half that sum will thereafter supply the annual needs for maintenance.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN N. COLE, MYRON E. GUTTERSON,
Park Commissioners.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
In again making my report to the citizens of Andover, I wish to thank the property owners for their efforts in cooperating with us to suppress the Gypsy and Browntail moths by trimming out old and worthless trees and removing the undergrowth from around the walls and fields in the outlying districts. During the past year, we have cut out some 10 miles of roadway back to the wall and about 5 miles of roadway has been trimmed in order to make it passable for teams, and all the brush has been burned.
I would ask that the residents of Andover kindly notify the tree warden of any bad colonies of Gypsy moths they may find from time to time in the wood lots,as in that way the Gypsy moth may be held in check.
I will also recommend that a power sprayer be purchased at once in order to be used this coming season in spraying our Elm trees for the Elm Beetle which is now found in large num- bers in our town. With the cooperation of the State Gypsy Moth Commission, we have been able to get Mr. Rogers, Super- intendent for the U. S. Government Commission interested in our town and in that way considerable help has been promised to us in the outlying districts in suppressing the Gypsy and Browntail pest, and I would again ask that a sum, not less than Three Thousand dollars be appropriated in order that this work can be continued.
Respectfully submitted, J. H. PLAYDON, Tree Warden.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen-
GENTLEMEN :- I hereby present my second annual report as Inspector of Milk. 42 licenses have been issued, 27 to pedlers and 15 to stores for the sale of milk and cream.
There were quite a few changes during the year. Several new licenses were issued and a number of small dealers gave it up.
Samples have been taken as usual and all were found to be satisfactory. Many samples have also been brought to be tested.
During the spring there was considerable complaint about the taste and color of the milk throughout the town, which was evi- dently caused by some variety of feed, as this condition only lasted about two weeks when the milk returned to the normal.
A few complaints about the condition of the cans were quickly remedied by the dealers.
I visited most of the cow barns throughout the West and Osgood Districts and found them in most cases to be satisfactory. All seemed to be well ventilated, but there was a general lack of sunlight. This could be changed at a slight expense by putting in more windows and keeping them clean and repaired, and would benefit the farmer as well as the milk consumer.
The standard for milk was changed by the Legislature of 1908, Chapt. No. 643.
Instead of a standard of 3.7 Butter fats and 13 per cent total Solids for 6 months and 3 per cent Butter fats and 12 per cent total Solids for 6 months, there is now an all the year round standard of 3.35 per cent Butter fats and 12.15 per cent total Solids.
All of the samples taken in Andover by the State Board of
103
Health were up to the Standard, making an excellent showing for the local dealers.
Respectfully submitted, FRANKLIN H. STACEY, Ph C.
I would like to suggest a few things to those who receive their milk in cans. Pour out the milk as soon as received, wash can with boiling water and soap, rinse thoroughly, dry in sun and do not replace stopper, simply lay it across the top of the can. If this is done, the disagreeable odor, especially noticable in warm weather would disappear.
FRANKLIN H. STACEY, Ph. C. Inspector of milk.

SPRING GROVE CEMETERY
The Trustees of Spring Grove Cemetery herewith submit their annual report for the year 1908.
The usual work appertaining to the care of the cemetery has been carefully carried out. New lots have been graded and the cemetery is in good condition for the purposes pertaining to its use. The proceeds from the sale of lots will not be sufficient for the care of the cemetery during the coming year, therefore your committee ask for the usual appropriation as heretofore made by the Town.
