ROPORT OF CUSTODIAN JOHN CORNELL ART GALLERY
To the Trustees of the Memorial Hall Library :
GENTLEMEN :- The attendance at the Cornell Art Gallery in 1912 was much less than that of 1911, not so much in the case of the children as that of the adults. In 1911 the numbers stood, adults 1099, children 1128, making a total of 2227. In 1912, adults 354, children 1272, total 1626.
We know that more adults would gladly come if it were not for the breathless climb. Many will rejoice when the day comes that sees the gallery more conveniently located.
Some come expecting to find at least one new picture, if not more, and are surprised to find no change. Numerous, beautiful and valuable as the pictures are, there is no denying that a gallery should be progressive. It is true that the wall space is practically filled, but some of the pictures could be taken down temporarily.
The addition of only one a year would be an incentive to visit the gallery. A Winslow Homer would be a great addition. It is to be hoped that sometime the funds will permit the purchase of the works of some of our fine American artists.

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
To the Citizens of the Town of Andover:
Your Board of Public Works submit their fourteenth annual report, embracing the twenty-fourth of the Water System, and the sixteenth of the Sewer, for the year ending January 13, 1913.
WATER SYSTEM
There have been added during the past year 14013 feet of extension to the water mains. The location and details may be seen in the Superintendent's report. The total length of water mains is 46.99 miles, and the total number of hydrants is 344. Total services now in use are 1304, of which number 1081 are metered. The receipts from water rates are $19,687.47, a gain of $1171.48 over last year.
The expense of maintenance is divided as follows :
Cost of pumping, $3583 45
Office expenses, 1575 00
. Care of teams, meters, and general repairs, 3456 95
$8615 40
Less credits,
497 83
$8117 57
Appropriation in 1912,
$8200 00
Gallons of water pumped, 205,097,460.
Cost per million gallons on cost of pumping, $17.48, which was $17.62 in 191I .
Receipts per million gallons, $95.99, which in 1911 was $91.03.
An appropriation of $8500.00 is asked for the expense of main- tenance for 1913, to be divided as follows: Salaries, $3500.00; labor, $1800.00 ; fuel, $1400.00 ; supplies, $800.00 ; teams, $500.00; extra expense, $500.00 ..
The bonded debt of the Water System is now $194,000.00, of which amount 50,000.00 is redeemable by sinking funds which now amount to $26,256.97. The balance of the bonded debt is paid by annual appropriations by the town. An appro- priation of $750.00 is asked for the sinking funds account.
The High Pressure Service System continues to give excellent satisfaction, and has materially increased the water rates.
Authorized by vote of the Town, the land of the Boston Ice Company at Haggett's Pond was purchased at a cost of $2500.00.
SEWER DEPARTMENT
Two sewer mains have been laid during the year. Thirty applications for connections have been received, and all have been accepted. Number of feet of connections laid is 1419. Total number connections 619, and total length of connections in service 36972 feet.
The bonded debt is now $53,000.00. The Sinking Fund is $29,180.00, leaving a net bonded debt of $23,820.00. In 1913 there will mature $20,000 of these bonds, $3,000.00 in 1919, and in 1928 the balance of $30,000.00, and an appropriation of $1,000.00 is asked for ,to be applied to this account.
The cost of maintenance for the past year has been $1431.22. Continued repairs are necessary on the filter beds, and an appro- priation of $2,000.00 is asked for. For details see the Superin- tendent's report.
In accordance with the vote of the Town the installing of the sewer system in Abbott Village and Marland Village has been carefully investigated by the Board of Public Works, and they find that it would be feasible in relation to Abbott Village to begin
6
at the Pump House on Phillips Street, run down Central Street to the junction of Red Spring Road and Andover Street, thence follow the river through private land to Stevens Street, Marland Village, with the exception of a few hundred feet in Abbott Village. From hence, enter Main Street, where it will connect with the present pump-house pipes.
The two pumping stations will be done away with, and a new one installed. A centrifugal pump, operated by electricity, will be used, saving a great deal of water over the present system, and at a very slight cost for the electricity consumed. The following streets have been measured: Cuba Street, Red Spring Road, Essex Street, Shawsheen Road to A. Boutwell's, and Stevens Street. The cost of this work, including stock, labor, pumping station and filter beds, will be $62,500. The plans for this work were accepted by the State Board of Health, June 8, 1898, and our Superintendent, in going over the plans with them during the past year, has found that only slight changes are necessary.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Public Works,
GENTLEMEN :-
I herewith submit for your consideration, and of all those who are in any way interested in this Department of the Town, the annual report for the year ending January 13, 1913.
In compiling this report I have tried to have it appear suf- ficiently plain to be understood by every reader, and I hope that every patron of the Water System, and every taxpayer of the Town, will be interested enough in it to give it a careful reading.
During the year there were laid 10,025 feet of eight-inch water main, 3589 feet of six-inch main; 7 eight-inch and 4 six- inch valves, and 23 hydrants. The following table will show cost of each.

This year there have been laid 2.45 miles of pipe for the Town. There has been laid on Railroad Street for the Tyer Rubber Company an eight-inch water main from Main Street to their new factory; this, with the fire-pipes on private property, and other work done by us, was done by the day, plus 10 per cent. I would say when the work was all completed, it amounted to $6808.83; this was turned over to the Town Treasurer. This work has been tested out at different times and found to be tight ; also, have tested hydrant on Railroad Street and found the pressure to be 95 pounds. All hydrants in the town have been looked at and found in first class condition since November I. By testing out pipe?lines and finding and repairing leaks, this last year, the water rates have increased a great deal, while our
17
engineer's report shows only 11/2 million more gallons pumped.
There have been reported 22 leaks. Sixteen were on our main pipe lines, six on service pipes. On account of the severe weather last winter, there were a great number of freeze-ups, 28 in number ; some of these were frozen two or three times.
This is the fourth year we have reported on our high service system, and the system has grown in that time to quite an extent. There have been added in that time 54 hydrants, 26 valves, 6.26 miles of main pipe. At the present time we are running the pump on this system about 24 hours a week. And the pump and engine continue to give excellent satisfaction.
The pumping station at the pond has run this year 359 days, against 365 last year. The report will be found in the pumping records. The oil engine is giving good service. The steam plant had a thorough overhauling last winter and is now in excellent condition. There has been only one time this last year when the pond was below 14 inches from high water mark; this was the week of Sept. 28. The engine house has been painted and papered on the interior. The pumping station has been painted two coats outside, and one coat inside of the engine room. This next year the house should be painted outside and some money spent on the grounds.
The steam plant was run during the year 1912, 43 days and 3 hours, pumping 28,604,149 gallons, a daily average of 665,212 gallons.
I believe it well at this time to state the advantage the automo- bile service would be to this Department, as we would be able to attend promptly to leaks and meter trouble in all parts of the town, and save much expense in labor and damage, besides the accommodation we could render by arriving and answering these calls more quickly. I would recommend that one be purchased for the Department. In looking over reports from other towns where automobile service has been adopted, I find the saving is from $200.00 to $600.00 a year.
