STREET BOUNDS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen-
The work on street bounds for the year of 1904 has been of a somewhat varied character. The general scheme of setting bounds has been to start at Elm Square and radiate in all directions doing each year what can be done with the appropriation made by the town. The most difficult and expensive work lies near the square.
Street lines are often requested where it is almost as ex- pensive to run the lines on a single property as it would be to make a complete survey of the whole street, an effort has been made to satisfy all land owners making such requests. Lines have been given as follows : Lowell road at Wm. M. Woods, Shawsheen road at Chas. O'Hara's, Clark road from Chester street to Palmer's and Summer street from Scott's to Whittier street. Forty-seven bounds have been set as follows : Haver- hill street 1, High street 10, Park street 8, Bartlet street 10, Pine street 10, Avon street 4 and Union street 4. Surveys have been made in addition to the above of Pearson and Essex streets and cross sections for the widening of Main street from Elm square to Stimson's bridge.
High street was located to make as little encroachment on private property as possible and obtain a highway with a minimum width of fifty feet, bounds were set where no en- croachment would occur, there are however some points which are not yet settled and it will be. best to relocate the street lines at these points as there is no layout on record. It will also be desirable to relocate the lines of Essex and Pearson streets before placing bound stones. On the other streets mentioned the layout of the streets were quite easily located and no trouble occurred.
113
The work can be done somewhat cheaper if an appropri- ation large enough to give permanent employment to a tran- sitman and rodman for the summer season is made. From inquiries and requests made by land owners I am led to be- lieve that there is a general call for the permanent settlement of street lines, I would therefore recommend that the work be continued during 1905.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN E. SMITH.

MEMORIAL HALL
THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The past year has been much like other years in the quiet history of Memorial Hall Library. The circulation has been about the same, and as usual, new books have been added, some of them because they are of permanent value, and some because they represent the current literature which everyone wishes to see. If it were possible to secure more of the former class it would make the work bestowed upon the se- lection of books more satisfactory.
The property continues to be in fairly good order, but some interior repairs will, probably, be necessary during the coming year.
The one new feature, worthy of special notice, is a gift from the Trustees of Phillips Academy, of a portion of the in- come of a fund established in his life-time, by Lieut. Gover- nor Phillips. The object of this fund was said to be to pro- vide for the free circulation of religious books among the in- habitants of Andover. It is intended that the books pur- chased with this gift shall be non-sectarian, but especially calculated to promote moral and religious culture. They will be distinguished by a book-plate, indicating their in- debtedness to the Samuel Phillips Fund. But, with this ex- ception, they will not differ from other books in general cir- culation.
115
A detailed account of the administration of the past year will be found in the reports of the Treasurer, the Librarian, and the Custodian of the Cornell Art Room.

Report of the Custodian of the Cornell Art Room
To the Trustees of the Memorial Hall Library :
GENTLEMEN : - The report of the custodian of the Cornell Art Collection for the year ending Dec. 31st., 1904, is here- with respectfully submitted.
The Cornell Art Gallery has been open during the year on 105 days. The total attendance has been 3856. Of this number 995 were adults and 2861 were children. This gives an average daily attendance of 36, higher than any year since the opening one, when it was 48.
Since Oct. 15th, following the instructions of the Board, children have been admitted on Friday and Saturday after- noons only. The result has been an increased attendance of the older boys and girls on Saturday evenings, more orderly conduct, and apparent enjoyment of the privileges of the room.
The addition to our collection of stereoscopic views, made in November, is a source of great interest to the young people. The 300 new views are mainly of China, Japan, Manchuria and the Philippine Islands, and the timely choice of subjects is much appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
JULIA E. TWICHELL.

Copy of Mr. Draper's Letter
ANDOVER, December 12, 1904.
TRUSTEES OF PUNCHARD FREE SCHOOL,
Gentlemen : - On my eighty-fifth birthday, Dec. 12, 1903, I gave to the Town of Andover the sum of one thousand dollars, the income of which is to be used in the interest of the Town schools. I had in mind also the Punchard Free School as a branch of the Andover schools which would share in this work. Accordingly, I now, on my eighty-sixth birthday, send you a cheque for one thousand dollars, to be safely invested as a permanent fund to be known as the " Draper Fund," the income therefrom to be expended for the interests of the school, as deemed best by your Board of Trustees. I would suggest as some suitable uses to which the income may be applied the following : -
First : A Warren F. Draper Scholarship, to be awarded to a grad- uate (either boy or girl) who shall go on to an institution of learning · higher in grade than secondary education, or that of the Punchard School.
Second : Prizes in some department designated by the Trustees and Teachers.
Third : The establishment of a departmental library.
Fourth : The purchase of works of art.
Fifth : The purchase of scientific apparatus.
Sixth : The purchase of models for mathematical instruction. The income may not be used for the salary of teachers or for deficiency in current expenses.
If your Board, in conference with the Selectmen or the School Committee of the 'Town, should find some object on which it seems best to unite the income of these two funds for the general benefit of all the schools, you are at liberty to do so.
Yours respectfully,
W. F. DRAPER.
