JOHN CORNELL ART GALLERY REPORT OF CUSTODIAN
To the Trustees of the Memorial Hall Library-
GENTLEMEN :- The attendance at the Cornell Art Gallery during the past year has been somewhat in excess of that of the preceding year. 1058 persons visited the gallery during 1909; of this number 732 were adults, and 326 were children. The increase in 1910 has been among the children. The total attendance has been 1216; of this number 604 were adults, and 612 were children. The increase in the number of children is explained by the fact that many of the girls and boys residing in the villages, and on North Main Street are now fourteen, and so have availed themselves of the privilege of frequenting the gallery.
While it is evident that the majority go there for the sole purpose of meeting one another, or to while away time, espe- cially during the winter weather, it is hoped that the presence of the beautiful pictures and the efforts of the custodian to interest the children in them will, some time, bear fruit.
Some do respond in a way that is encouraging. They are glad to know how to use the catalogues intelligently, and how to observe the fine points in the pictures. Of course these are in the minority.
The stereographs are still doing a good work in enlarging the mental vision of the young people. It is gratifying to think that so many adults have taken pains to climb the long flights of stairs in order to enjoy the pictures. It is hoped that the present year will record still more; that people hitherto indiffer- ent will wake up to the fact that they are losing a splendid opportunity in neglecting to visit, and visit often, the Cornell Art Gallery.
Respectfully submitted,
ABBIE S. DAVIS.

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
To the Citizens of the Town of Andover:
Your Board of Public Works submit their twelfth annual report, embracing the twenty-second of the Water System, and the fourteenth of the Sewer, for the year ending Jan. 10, 1911.
WATER SYSTEM
There have been added during the past year 14510.6 feet of extension to the water mains and seventeen hydrants have been set. The locations and details may be seen in the Superin- tendent's report. The total length of water mains is 40.81 miles, and the total number of hydrants is 290. Total services now in use are 1187, of which number 977 are metered. The receipts from water rates were $17613.66, a gain of $1206.45 over last year.
The expense of maintenance is divided as follows : Cost of pumping, $4234 61
Office expenses, 1300 00
Care of teams, meters, and general repairs, 3131 03
Less credits,
$8665 64 287 32
$8378 32
Appropriation in 1910, $8500 00
Gallons of water pumped, 228,939,882.
Cost per million gallons on cost of pumping, $18.50. Receipts per million gallons, $76.93.
An appropriation of $8200.00 is asked for the expense of maintenance for 19II, to be divided as follows: Salaries,
5
$3000.00 ; labor, $2000.00; fuel, $1200.00; supplies, $1000.00 ; teams, $500.00; and extra expenses, $500.00.
The bonded debt of the Water System is now $188000.00, of which amount $50000.00 is redeemable by sinking funds which now amount to $22812.21. The balance of the bonded debt is paid by annual appropriations by the town. An appropriation of $750.00 is asked for the sinking funds account.
The High Pressure Service System has continued to give excellent service during the year.
Mr. John E. Smith, who had served the Board as its Super- intendent in a most efficient manner for the past twenty years, resigned last March, to fill an important position with the Tyer Rubber Company. His resignation was accepted with great regret. The present efficiency of the water and sewer systems is due in a large measure to his able management. Mr. Frank L. Cole, assistant superintendent, was elected to fill the vacancy as acting superintendent.
In accordance with a vote of the town, March 7, 1910, an oil engine was installed at the Pumping Station. This is now in successful operation, and meeting well all the requirements made upon it. The cost of operating it will be considerably less than the steam pump.
The Board of Public Works has completed all the extensions of the water mains in the town that are possible under the vote of the town, May II, 1908. There have been received many applications where the estimated income was less than the re- quired two per cent, which were necessarily refused.
The long drought of the past summer has impressed the Board with the importance of extending the service to the outlying districts. Moreover, it is believed that the installing of water mains in certain sections will encourage building, and increase values.
The Board is prepared to recommend that the town vote to rescind their two per cent increase restriction, and to authorize the Board of Public Works to make extensions at their dis- cretion with the funds at their disposal. To carry forward a policy of reasonable expansion of the Water System, the Board has taken under consideration the following extensions :

There is in the hands of the Town Treasurer $4000.00 to the credit of this department, and $5000.00 in bonds from the issue authorized under the vote of the town, March 7, 1910, making $9000.00 available at present to pay the cost of a part of these extensions. The Board recommends that the town vote to issue $20,000.00 serial bonds, bearing four per cent interest, to carry out the proposed extensions. These will practically complete the Water System of the town, with the exception of the western part, where the cost would be so great that the Board does not feel justified in recommending any action at this time.
SEWER DEPARTMENT
During the year no sewer mains were laid. Fifteen applica- tions for connections have been received and all have been accepted. Number of feet of connections laid, 813. Total con- nections, 33502 feet. Total number of connections, 561.
The cost of maintenance for the past year has been $1281.18. Repairs are necessary on two of the filter beds, and an appro- priation of $1500.00 is asked for. An appropriation of $3000.00 is asked for the sinking fund. Otherwise the system is in good working order.

Fifty-one new meters were set during 1910, making a total of 977 now in use. This year an inspection has been made of all the single faucet takers in town, and the inspection showed that about forty new meters would have to be set. This work we are attending to at present.
I would say the works are in a fair condition. This year we have added one standpipe on Park Street, for street sprinkling. We have also had to move back the hydrants on Main Street from Chapel Avenue to the residence of Professor Keep, also the fountain. This was done on account of the repairs made by the Street Department. It was necessary to use one new hydrant, as one had been broken by the falling of a tree. The Engineers' house and coal shed have been shingled the past year. This year the Pumping Station needs painting, and the fences on the reservoir approach need repairs or new ones built. The extensions we are putting into the outlying districts mean a good deal of time in answering calls, and would say we are in need of a horse with which to answer these calls more quickly, and not have to hire so much as in the past. During the past year we have installed as was voted by the town, a new engine
17
and pump. This is a 100 H. P. two-cylinder Vertical Engine, connected to a 1214x14 inch single acting triplex pump of the Rumsey make. Our oil we get in tank cars of 8000 gallons each ; this is run through a 2-inch line from Boston & Maine tracks to Station, a distance of 3100 feet; we also have a 34-inch pipe beside this 2-inch line, which forces the oil over by compressed air. This is run and connected with our water motor, and also used in starting up the engine. The test was made on October 22, 1910, by Mr. J. E. Smith and your acting superintendent, for the town, and Mr. J. E. Cowper and Mr. F. E. Davis for the pump and engine. The test was run for five hours and was so uniform that each hour was merely a repetition of the previous one, and proved that it did more work than it was guaranteed for.
During the year 1910 from March I to January 10, 19II, there were reported and found sixteen leaks, eight of which were on our main pipes, six on gate boxes, and two on services which were broken in the wall. An inspection was made of the public buildings and a great number of leaks found, which were attended to as was found later.
SEWER DEPARTMENT
In 1910 there were fifteen applications for house connection made and fifteen laid, making a total of 561.
