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, 1919.
The attendance at the gallery has been low, though a little ahead of that of last year, 288 being registered. Of this number, 123 were adults and 165 children.
A significant reason for the low attendance can readily be found, as far as the children are concerned, in the vain attempts to get them to sing patriotic songs on the night General Edwards addressed the townspeople at the park. After two fruitless ef- forts the leader remarked, "There is no use in trying to com- pete with Charlie Chaplin."
It is undeniable that there are many adults who prefer the lure of the movies to visiting an art gallery, and equally unde- niable that they have a perfect right to choose their amusements; but it is a pity that more parents are not alive to the fact that in the gallery they have a means of growth for their children which is most valuable, a real uplift.
It has been stated before, but it will bear repetition, that num- bers do not always spell great results. Hand-picking always means perfect fruit. With few visitors at a time there is more op- portunity for personal work. If only one adult appears in an afternoon, but remains an hour - a frequent occurrence - and goes away with an aroused interest in pictures, it has been worth while to have the gallery open.
Although the collection of stereographs is still in favor, new subjects would be an attraction. Then too, fresh copies should replace those which have become unsanitary from years of use. Before long there should be several new stereoscopes to replace those that have become dilapidated.
Respectfully submitted,
ABBIE S. DAVIS Custodian

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
To the Citizens of the Town of Andover, Mass.
Your Board of Public Works herewith submits its seventh annual report for the year ending December 31, 1919, which is also the thirty-first report of the Water System, and the twenty- third of the Sewer System. This is also the seventh report of the Highways and Parks under the jurisdiction of the Board of Public Works.
ORGANIZATION
Messrs. Barnett Rogers and Charles B. Baldwin were re- elected as members of the Board, and the organization took place on March 4th, the following officers being chosen :
Chairman, Barnett Rogers.
Secretary, Philip L. Hardy.
Treasurer, Thomas E. Rhodes.
The Board, having lost the services of Arthur R. Morse, who had acted very efficiently and faithfully in the capacity of Assistant Superintendent and clerk for a number of years, appointed George Dick to supersede him.
WATER DEPARTMENT
No extensions to water-mains were made during the past year, except on private work which was paid for by owner. The entire appropriation was spent on maintenance of the present system and the installation of new service-pipes, meters, and expenses incidental to them.
An overdraft of $4257.99 is accounted for by the heavy and rather serious breakdown in the steam plant at Haggetts Pond Station which necessitated costly repairs.
5
The rules and regulations of the Water Department were revised, to take effect April 1, 1919, copies of which were sent to all water-takers.
The Board recommends the appropriation of $16,000.00 for maintenance of the department and the sum of $2000.00 for con- struction for the ensuing year. A more detailed statement of the department is given in the Superintendent's Report.
THE WATER BONDED DEBT
The Water Bonded Debt of the Water System January, 1919, was $146,000.00. There has been paid during the year 1919 $10,000.00 of the 4% bonds, and $3000.00 of the 31/2% bonds from the town treasury, and $10,000.00 of the 4% bonds out of the Sinking Fund, making a total of $23,000.00, leaving a bonded debt January 1, 1920, of $123,000.00.
Of the above amount of indebtedness $40,000.00 is redeemable by the Sinking Fund, which January 1, 1920, amounted to $30,898.53.
The sum of $750.00 should be appropriated for the Sinking Fund for the year 1920.
THE SEWER DEPARTMENT
No new construction was undertaken during the year 1919. Additional statement of the upkeep and maintenance of the present system is given in the Superintendent's Report, which there is no need of repeating here.
The amount of $3000.00 appropriated at the last town meeting in March for filter-beds was not expended on account of the fact that it was impossible to obtain labor to execute the work. The Board recommends the sum of $2500.00 for maintenance for the ensuing year.
THE SEWER BONDED DEBT
The bonded debt of the Sewer System January 1, 1919, was $100,000.00. During the year 1919 $5000.00 of the 4% bonds were paid out of the town treasury and $10,000.00 from the
6
Sinking Fund, leaving a bonded debt of the Sewer System the sum of $85,000.00.
Of the above amount of indebtedness, $30,000.00 is redeemable by the Sinking Fund, which January 1, 1920, amounted to $17,007.12.
The sum of $1000.00 should be appropriated for the Sinking Fund for the year 1920.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
During the past year approximately one-half mile of tarvia- bound macadam road was constructed, at an average cost of $1.64 a yard. The increase in cost per yard is due to the increase in cost of material and labor. It is the policy of the Board to continue this form of construction (tarvia-bound) on the streets receiving severe traffic as rapidly as is possible with the money appropriated by the town for the same, with the idea in mind of constructing these roads first which are subject to the greatest travel and wear, and from the improvement of which the town as a whole would derive the greatest benefit.
Cinders have been placed on a great many of the roads in the outlying districts.
The roads already constructed have been maintained in nearly every instance by blanketing with tarvia in order to keep them in as good repair as possible.
A detailed statement of the expenditures of the appropriations is given in the Superintendent's Report.
The Board recommends the appropriation of $35,000.00 for new construction, $25,000.00 for maintenance, for the ensuing year.
SNOW REMOVAL
The Board has included under the maintenance appropriation the sum of $1500.00 to take care of the cost of removing snow.
SIDEWALKS
Several sidewalks have been constructed during the past year in places where there was the most urgent need of the same, and
7
about 1500 feet of curbing has been set. Old sidewalks were blanketed where necessary.
LOWELL STREET
We have had Lowell Street in process of construction for the past five years, and a detailed statement of the expenditures and amount of work done during the year 1919 is given in the Super- intendent's Report.
It seems advisable owing to the very poor condition of the remainder of this street, to complete this piece of construction as soon as possible. The Board hoped to receive an appropriation of $10,000.00 from the town for this work for the ensuing year, but owing to the fact that $5000.00 was the limit that would be obtained from the State and County, the Board advocates the appropriation of the latter amount by the town, an article for which will be included in the Town Warrant.
ESSEX STREET BRIDGE
At a meeting of the Board held on April 10, 1918, it was voted to insert the following "ad " in the Andover and Lawrence papers, and in the Boston Transcript :-
"Bids for widening Essex Street Bridge over Shaw- sheen River will be received up to 5 p.m., May 15th; new work to be of concrete construction ; expenditure to be about $7000; all bids to be sealed and addressed to the Chairman, Board of Public Works. Full informa- tion, also plans and specifications, may be obtained at the office of the Board, Town House, Andover, Mass.
"The Board reserves the right to accept or reject any bid."
The County Engineer had prepared in advance a bid-sheet, on which certain estimated quantities were shown, in order that each bidder might have a uniform basis from which to develop his figures, as, for example,- the estimated quantity of gravel to be excavated, quantities of cement and sand required to com- plete the work, etc. It was understood that no figures would be considered unless submitted in accordance with this form.
8
On the evening of May 15th bids were opened in the presence of four members of the Board, including the Superintendent (Mr. Hardy was not present at any meeting from April 10th to May 19th inclusive), disclosing figures as follows :---
E. P. Hall
$4947.88
P. L. Hardy 6102.16
J. C. Collins' 6117.50
Kendle Stoddard Company 6286.30
Essex Construction Company 7976.39
*A. Michelini & Sons 13996.00
*NOTE. In the last-mentioned bid certain other charges were suggested which would increase the total quite materially.
No action at this time was taken on any bid, as the County Commissioners had requested that all bids be submitted to them before contract was awarded. Accordingly, the chairman and one other member of the Board went into conference with the County Commissioners on the following day, and each bid was carefully considered. At the request of the Commissioners the County Engineer made a very careful examination of the figures submitted by the lowest bidder, E. P. Hall, and reported that in his opinion an error had been made, probably in figuring the labor, stating further that under no circumstances could the work in his opinion be completed according to specifications for less than $6000.
The County Commissioners then advised our chairman that while the matter of awarding the contract would be left to the Board of Public Works, it was the custom of the Commssisoners to throw out a bid when, as in this case, there was so great a difference between that of the lowest bidder and the County Engineer's estimate.
At a meeting held on May 19th the recommendation of the County Commissioners was adopted, after which the contract was awarded to the then lowest bidder, P. L. Hardy.
Owing to the difficulties experienced with high water it has been quite impossible to complete the entire job, and there still
9
remains a small amount of work to be done in the spring, which consists of putting in the curbing, a cap on the railing, and a new sidewalk, together with some grading.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Public Works.
GENTLEMEN :- I most respectfully submit the thirty-first report of the Water System, twenty-third of the Sewer System. and the seventh of the Highways and Parks, containing a brief summary of the principal work performed by the different de- partments, for the year ending December.31, 1919, with recom- mendations for the coming year.
WATER DEPARTMENT
During the year 1919 there were no new mains laid except on private streets; these were all paid for by Mr. W. M. Wood or the American Woolen Company, all being laid in Shawsheen Village. Water-pipe on January 1, 1920, was $70.00 per ton delivered in Andover, practically the same as on January 1, 1919.
This last year has been rather unfortunate for our Maintenance Department. An advance in pay took place in the spring. Both the reservoirs were cleaned out : on May 10th and 11th the one on Bancroft Road, and on May 13th the one on Prospect Hill. The last week in August the piston rod worked loose on the piston and before it was discovered it had broken both upper and lower heads on the low-pressure end, as well as the piston chamber, and before this remedy was all completed, including four new valves, the job had cost $4100. During the early part of 1919 the interior of the engine-room at Haggetts Pond was painted (two coats), this work being done by our own employees when they had time. Also the interior of No. 2 Station on Bancroft Road had two coats, as well as being wired for electric lights. During the past year the figures for pumping at Haggetts Pond, according to records, are given below :-
1)
Run 365 days during 1919; 192 days on steam and 173 days on oil. The number of hours running time has been 3739.45, or an average of 10 hours 24 minutes; this does not, however, include starting, stopping or repairs. Number of gallons pumped by steam, 119,308,532; by oil, 98,971,265, or a total of 218,279,797, being 50 million gallons less than in 1918 when we pumped to Lawrence. Oil used in running, 12,447 gallons; coal used, 193 tons; average daily consumption, 598,027 gallons.

Station No. 2 on Bancroft Road was started on January 14, 1919; this is now being run by electricity and we find it to be giving excellent service. It has been run since January 14th, 954 hours at a cost of power of $751.50; add to this, labor, oil and coal for heating during the winter months $250.00, make the average cost per hour of about $1.00. This is a 5-inch centrifugal pump run by a 30 h.p. motor, and pumps 400 gallons per minute to the reservoir on Prospect Hill.
Water rates this year are $23,864.58, about $3200.00 less than 1918, but there has been fifty million gallons less pumped, as during 1918 we pumped to Lawrence about $2400.00 worth.
There are no uncollected water rates.
For maintenance for the year 1920 I recommend the following :
Salaries and labor
$9216.00
Coal
3300.00
Oils-fuel, engine and cylinder
1680.00
Power, No. 2 Station
800.00
Keeping horse and car
500.00
Miscellaneous
500.00
15996.00
SERVICE PIPE
There have been sixty-one applications received and fifty-one laid, which now makes 1521 actually in use, or a total length of 122,085 feet. There are ten of these applications started on new streets in Shawsheen Village, but not completed.
13
Spent on service pipes, meters, etc. Credits 4531.15
S6535.21
S2004.06
While we really show an overdraft of $4.06, there is owed this department for work not completed about $150.00.
METERS
During the year there were 42 new meters set, varying from 5-8 inch to 2-inch.
I would recommend $2000.00, same as in 1919, for construction account.

Same appropriation will be necessary for 1920, $2500.00.
