REPORT OF CUSTODIAN JOHN CORNELL ART GALLERY
To the Trustees of Memorial Hall Library.
GENTLEMEN : I herewith submit the report of the gallery for the twelve months ending December 31, 1917.
The attendance for the year has been 610. Of this number 163 were adults and 447 children; a good attendance, all things considered, and a slight increase over that of 1916, the number then being 600.
It is encouraging to know that a large proportion of the adult visitors were not idle observers, many being girls of eighteen or twenty years of age who came in a receptive frame of mind and appreciative of attention. This attitude toward the pictures has been shown to a marked degree by some of the children. A recent caller residing in New York and well acquainted with the Metropolitan Art Museum expressed much interest in the collection and regret that he could not tarry long. His emphatic approval was gratifying. Two other callers were western people.
The stereographs continue in great favor. The temperament of the child is plainly shown in the use of them. A few children have asked for sterecgraphs from which they could obtain inter- esting subjects for use in language work, and occasionally an adult has spent a profitable half-hour with them. In the addi- tion of new window-seat cushions of the original coloring, and new curtains, the gallery has acquired much of its former fresh- ness. A most attractive place to visit. These improvements are a good ending for the year.
Respectfully submitted.
ABBIE S. DAVIS Custodian

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
To the Citizens of Andover:
In submitting our fifth annual report we would ask that the same be considered in conjunction with the four previous reports ; in other words, we would request a review of the work done during the past five years, in order that our citizens may deter- mine whether or not the expenditures have been worth while; and, in addition, to determine if the Board has not accomplished, to a certain degree at least, its chief aim in creating permanent improvements, particularly in highway construction, which, if properly maintained, will materially reduce the expenditures as time goes on.
ORGANIZATION
The first meeting was held on March 7th, and Mr. T. E. Rhodes having been re-elected, no changes were made in our organization.
In MEMORIAM
In our last report we made special mention of the death of two highly respected citizens, former members of the Board, and by a singular coincidence two more have journeyed to that unknown land from which "no traveller returns".
John L. Smith was Sewer Commissioner from· 1893 to 1899, and a member of the Board of Public Works from 1899 to 1906. Mr. Smith died March 14, 1917.
Felix G. Haynes was Water Commissioner from 1889 to 1899, and a member of the Board of Public Works from 1899 to 1908. Mr. Haynes died January 13, 1918.
In a sense these men were "charter" members, and it can
5
truthfully be said of them that they were "selected" men, giving freely of their time, without remuneration, that our citizens as a whole might benefit.
Never deviating from the course of duty, strictly honest, these capable and highly respected men have left behind a record which is an inspiration to those who interest themselves in the welfare and the upbuilding of our town.
