Discontinued pipe 1736 on Haverhill St., 900 on Burnham Rd.
There were two (2) connections made for fire lines, one in the new Garage on Haverhill Street and the other in the new Office building. On account of the new layout on Burnham Road, by the County Commissioners, 900 feet of pipeand twohydrants were cut out but connected at York Street and cut in on our new 10- inch line at Haverhill Street. All hydrants from the corner of Main Street on Haverhill Street are of the large opening, giving full opening of 6-inch with 8-inch connections from the 10-inch main. All hydrants on Main Street, five in number, from near the residence of Judge Chandler to Chestnut Street were replaced with Corey hydrants and independent gates, the old ones having no gates and being of a type on which no repairs could be made. All valves on the street were dug up, oiled and packed so that all precautions were taken, as far as possible, by the Department, before the street was built.
We have pumped at Haggetts Pond during the year, 365 days using the steam plant 361 days, and the oil 4 days, 262,078,700 gallons or an average of 718,024 gallons daily, the largest amount ever pumped for Andover. The hours average for pumping
17
-
10.39 daily. The day on which the greatest amount was pumped was September the 25th, the amount being 1,014,858 gallons. The Water receipts were very large this year, amounting to $31,831.38. A new plant is needed at this station, as the Oil Engine is too small and the steam plant is fast wearing out (by age) and the repairs are amounting up very fast. I would recom- mend a centifugal pump, electric driven.
The station on Bancroft Road has given us another year of excellent service. We have bought a Manograph which will be installed at the Haggett's Station in the early spring, and which can be used on any line to check up and measure water flows.
The Engineer's house at the Pond has had some necessary re- pairs. A new bath room was installed, and some painting and papering done and the house itself received two coats of paint. These repairs cost $600.00.
Our Telemeter Line was overhauled and new wire put up this year. The work was done by the Telephone Company at a cost of $978.52. For the coming year I would recommend for Main- tenance, the sum of $37,000.00:

SERVICE PIPES
We laid during 1922, 147 new service pipes, this being the largest number laid since 1891 when 153 were laid.
18
.
We have now in use 1800 service pipes of which amount 1745 are metered. During the year 117 meters, varying in sizes from 5-8 to 6 inches, were set. All services were changed over from the main on Main Street to the street line so to avoid later trouble. New ones were also put in wherever there was a vacant lot. This work cost the town, for 59 changes and eight new ones, $1373.75.
For service pipes this year, I would recommend the sum of $2500.00 and receipts.

SEWER DEPARTMENT
The regular care of Filter beds and general work is all that was done in 1922 in this department. For 1923 I would recommend the sum of $3000.00.
HOUSE CONNECTIONS
Twenty-six applications were received and laid, making a total of 788 now in use.
COMMON SEWERS
The Lowell Street sewer was completed, a distance of 1740 feet. The amount spent on this work was $2927.42.

HIGHWAYS AND PARKS
To the Board of Public Works: -
GENTLEMEN: -
I submit for your approval, the tenth annual report of the Highway Department for the year ending December 31, 1922. We started the year shovelling gutters and sanding sidewalks. We had a severe rain on March 7th, causing lots of damage, followed by another on May 5th which caused a number of wash-outs, the most severe one being at the corner of Haverhill and High Streets which cost $1500. There were several other wash-outs costing from $25. to $300. each. There has been a 30-inch cor- rugated pipe put across Chestnut Street, through private land for a distance of 250 feet: this pipe takes water from Summer Street and Abbott's field. A 12-inch Akron pipe was laid on Chestnut Street for a distance of 230 feet. A catch-basin at the corner of Avon Street was putin and a corner of Avon Street was curbed. River Road was scarified, patched and resurfaced with a coat of Tarvia, this work costing $3033.81.
We started patching roads on March 22nd and blanketing on May 15th, using 35,500 gallons of Tarvia B. This work can be cut down in 1923 as several of these streets can go for awhile. A culvert on Central Street caved in, the large cover-stone over the brook was moved, and it was necessary to dig up and repair one half of this. The culvert was put back with a concrete cap, reinforced with steel rails. This work cost $885.00. Gutters throughout the town have been cleaned out, and catch-basins have had to be cleaned out several times on account of so much rain during the early spring and summer.
Several cinder roads were built last fall and winter. These were paid for out of the 1922 appropriation. These were scraped in the spring and put in first class shape for a country road. Many streets were treated with the material from Main Street, Highland
26
Road, Woodland Road, Phillips Street, Red Spring Road and Carmel Street. Carmel Street leads to the new Town Home and will need a little more gravel or cinders this spring.
The only new work done this year was on Phillips and Main Streets. Phillips Street was paid for out of the regular appropri- ation and the following amounts will show the cost of the work:

103.60
$17331.34
This job cost $2.72 per yard including all material or for road work alone (curbing out $1.57 per yard). We received a credit for this work from Phillips and Abbot Academies of $2100.62 making the total cost of the work to the town $15,230.72. The Main Street work, cost and account will be found in the Board of Public Works report. Our expenses were so heavy this year that little new work could be done and the heavy rains we had caused considerable additional costs. I would recommend for Main- tenance for the year 1923:

CONSTRUCTION
I would propose that Essex Street, from the Boston and Maine R.R. crossing up Shawsheen Road to the top of the hill near Smith's driveway, be built. This will cost about $10000.00
as both sides of the hill should be curbed and catch basin at top of the hill and piped to brook at the bottom of the hill.
Park Street should be curbed for a distance of about 450 feet with a sidewalk from Buchan & McNally's to Florence Street, at a cost of
1800.00
William Street
4000.00
Stevens Street
