REPORT OF CUSTODIAN JOHN CORNELL ART GALLERY
To the Trustees of the Memorial Hall Library.
Gentlemen: I herewith submit the report of the gallery for the twelve months ending December 31, 1916.
The attendance for the year has been 600. Of the number 146 were adults, and 454 children. The attendance for 1915 was 668. Fully one half of the number of adults visiting the gallery have been strangers. Though many have had only a few min- utes to spare they have felt well repaid for the long hurried climb. Many of the townspeople do not realize that few towns possess such a collection as Andover owns in the Cornell Art Gallery. People from Lawrence and other cities often emphasize the fact, and query if the people really appreciate what it means to have access to such choice reproductions.
When one ponders on the fact that many people frequently visit Boston, but never enter the Public Library or Art Museum, one is less surprised at the non-appearance of such people at the gallery. It is a regrettable fact that many of our educated young people deliberately choose the moving picture show when in Boston to the varied forms of art obtainable there. This is also true in town. One is willing to acknowledge that many of the movies present educational features, but taken as a whole, they cannot be called uplifting.
A much-needed improvement to the comfort of the gallery has been supplied in the weather strips for the windows. People occupying the window seats have found them far from comfort- able, and will accordingly appreciate the absence of cold air which has been plentiful. It is hoped that 1917 will record an increased attendance at the gallery.
Respectfully submitted

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
To the Citizens of Andover:
Your Board of Public Works submit their fourth annual report, or, if we include the former Board, organized in 1899, the seventeenth report for the year ending December 31, 1916, This is also the twenty-eighth of the Water System, and the twentieth of the Sewer System.
ELECTION
The choice of the voters resulted in the re-election of Barnett Rogers, and the election of Charles B. Baldwin, succeeding Lewis T. Hardy, who, on account of ill health, had declined to be a candidate for re-election. Both of the successful candidates were chosen for a term of three years.
ORGANIZATION
At the first meeting held on March 6th the following were elected :- Chairman, Barnett Rogers; secretary, Charles B. Baldwin; treasurer, Willis B. Hodgkins.
A new contract, expiring March 15, 1917, was entered into with Superintendent Frank L. Cole; salary agreed upon $2250.
A TRIBUTE
Before proceeding further in reviewing the work of the past year it is well that we pay the respect which is due those whose careers, now ended, were, without question, a very great asset to our town.

John H. Flint, having served as Water Commissioner for ten years, was elected to the Board in 1899, chosen to be its first chairman, and served in that capacity while a member of the Board, retiring in 1902. Mr. Flint died November 30, 1916.
Lewis T. Hardy was a member of the Board from 1903 to 1916, serving as chairman from 1908 to 1914 inclusive. Mr. Hardy died December 25, 1916.
New England conservatism, coupled with rare business ability and keen foresight, meant much to Andover in the days when the ever-increasing demands for the adoption of new ideas and modern conveniences might have proved very costly to a com- munity less efficiently managed.
What better monument could be erected to the memory of these men than the "PUBLIC WORKS" for which they were in a large measure responsible, now so thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed by those who make Andover their home.
WATER DEPARTMENT
Questions concerning the extension of the water mains as discussed at the March Town Meeting are a matter of record. Under Article 13 the town voted to apply to the Legislature for permission to issue bonds to the extent of $10,000, to allow such extensions as might be considered necessary.
A bill, Chapter No. 262, Acts 1916, passed both branches of the Legislature and was approved by the Governor April 20th, in ample time to incorporate an Article in the warrant for the special town meeting held on June 12th; this being necessary to authorize the sale of bonds; the proceeds to be used towards the extension of water mains.
The town for the first time in its history voted to restrict or limit the Board in the expenditure of this money; the result being only one-half of the amount - $5000 - was available for the extension of the water system during the past year.
