OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
The Overseers of the Poor submit the following report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1921:
The Town Farm is still under the efficient supervision of Mrs. Annie Swanton as Superintendent and Matron and conditions of the house and inmates show the same careful attention as before. The inmates, who are all advanced in years, show a spirit of contentment and satisfaction. Very little help can be given by any of the inmates, which necessitates the hiring of outside help.
There has been a marked increase in the last year in the out- side relief and as conditions are at present it seems almost in- evitable that the calls will be greater in 1922.
The report of the special committee on the Town Farm will be found elsewhere.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
This has been a year in the Tree Department never to be for- gotten, and, we trust, never to be repeated.
The ice storm of Nov. 27th, 28th, and 29th wrought such havoc with our trees that it is beyond the pen of man to describe it. Only those seeing could believe the amount of damage done.
We have had a large force of men working continuously since the storm trying to save every tree possible, but it will take years, and a large amount of money to bring the shade trees back to where they were before.
Property owners must not be hasty in condemning their shade trees to the wood pile as the right kind of pruning and a little patience, when your trees look badly now will come out O. K. later.
What we must do is to get together, have a real Arbor Day and plant more trees.
This department has planted one hundred shade trees the past year (mostly Norway Maples) and has taken down nearly as many, therefore we must plant in order to preserve our beautiful shade trees for the coming generations.
We have done twelve miles of roadside cutting. This is a start, but we have many miles to do so as to make the roads safe for travel.
In order to carry on the work of this department I ask that the sum of $10,000.00 be appropriated; $5,000.00 to cover amount spent since the storm and $5,000,00 to be used later.
Respectfully,
EDWARD H. BERRY
Tree Warden

REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
In submitting my report for the year 1921, I wish to thank the property owners for their co-operation in suppressing the brown-tail moth. The infestation has been especially heavy in the south and west parts of the town and if we are to stamp out this pest we must not let up.
We are very glad to have property owners do their own work but the property must be inspected by your Moth Supt. or bis deputies. With your co-operation we mean to have a clean slate this year.
We have at the present time, three power sprayers and two hand pumps. The sprayers are old and will soon have to be replaced, but by overhauling and getting some new parts we may get by for a year or two, but your Supt. thinks it will be a good business policy to buy one small power sprayer this year; therefore I would ask the town to appropriate the sum of $6,000.00 for this department.
Respectfully,
EDWARD H. BERRY
Tree Warden

I wish to express my sincere thanks, "in this public manner to the Board of Selectmen and to Colver J. Stone, Trial Justice, for the many acts of kindness they have extended the Police Dept. The work of the Dept. for the past year has been hard. The Vol- stead act in regard to prohibition has added greatly to it. Raids
65
have been made in many parts of the town with good results and fines amounting to $1,285.00 have been collected in court. The handling of the Auto Traffic is one thing that takes up much time and more officers should be added to the present force. I would recommend the purchase of a small truck as many times it could be used in taking injured persons to the hospital on a stretcher instead of in an auto.
We have had four fatal accidents on Main street during the year 1921 and we have taken sixteen to the Lawrence Hospital for treatment.

SPRING GROVE CEMETERY
The trustees of Spring Grove Cemetery submit the following report :---
-
The appropriation calling for $6,000 for the reconstruction of the tomb has been spent for the same, which includes grading, and all outside work attendant thereto. Your trustees are in every way satisfied with the work done, and feel that along with other Andover lines of progress that this is a credit to the Ceme- tery and Town. It gives us about twice as much room and in a more convenient and workable manner. Very little new work has been done during the year, and what was done was taken out of the regular income.
The cemetery has been kept up in the same high and efficient manner as in the past. A new lowering device has been purchased by your trustees and is now owned by the cemetery.
Your trustees ask for the same appropriation of $1500 with all incomes from the cemetery for carrying on the work of the coming year. We also ask $1,000 for a continuation of the new work on the East side.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
To the Board of Trustees:
I herewith submit my annual report as Superintendent of Spring Grove Cemetery for the year ending December 31, 1921.
In addition to the regular care of the Cemetery we have spent about $1000. in general improvement of the east side, the clearing of rough land and the grading of roads.
We are also glad to report the completion of a new tomb and the grading of the land around it. The work on the tomb was finished so late in the season that we were unable to fully complete the grading, which, however, will be attended to as soon as pos- sible.
Respectfully submitted,
F. A. SWANTON,
Superintendent.
