OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
The Overseers of the Poor submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1920:
The Town Farm is still under the efficient management of Mrs. Swanton as Superintendent and Matron, which is an as- surance that the inmates are being well cared for. The inmates, who are all of advanced years, are able to render very little help about the Home; four of them having to be served with meals in their rooms.
The report of the Committee appointed by the Moderator will be found on another page and the vote of the Town will de- termine the action of the Selectmen and Overseers of the en- suing year.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
I have planted, trimmed, and removed some trees, also have done some brush cutting in the outlying districts, but owing to the lack of funds I was not able to do as much work as should have been done. In order to carry on the work of this Depart- ment I ask that the sum of $3000.00 be appropriated.
Respectfully, EDWARD H. BERRY
Tree Warden
67
REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
In submitting my report of this department I would say there is every indication of a return of the brown-tail moth next sum- mer after an absence of four years, and unless the owners of trees attend to this condition there is sure to be havoc in the trees of Andover. There is also an abundance of gypsy moths. I ad- vise all property owners to get busy at once to destroy the moth nests or else notify the tree-warden who will give the matter prompt attention. The situation is serious and demands im- mediate action.
Respectfully,
EDWARD H. BERRY
Moth Superintendent

SPRING GROVE CEMETERY
The Trustees of Spring Grove Cemetery submit the following report : -
This Department, like other departments, has had to contend with labor conditions and thus we have not been able to accom- plish the amount of work that we had hoped for.
The Avenue on the East side connecting the lower side with the gate entrance is nearly completed and will probably be ready for use next year. All avenues and walks that have not been in use in times past have been and are being filled in and thus we have been making a few more lots on the West side. Quite a number of half- lots have been staked off this year for parties who do not require a regular sized lot.
One plot of ground has been graded on the East side but not staked out as yet. The ground on the East side which has been cleared and worked over for the past two or three years is now ready to be sowed down.
The Superintendent has carried on the work during the past year with satisfactory results to the Trustees and to others who are interested, and has all lots accounted and cared for with the exception of about one hundred lots of which we hope to report a smaller number not cared for next year.
One serious situation has presented itself before the Trustees for the last two years, namely the tomb. Water has been leaking through the masonry work, making the place very wet and damp. There is not enough room under present conditions for receiving caskets and your Trustees feel that something should be done right away to remedy conditions and we therefore ask for an ap- propriation of $7500.00 and receipts for the reconstruction of the tomb and regular running expenses.

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, 1920.
Aside from the regular care of the cemetery we have grassed over several roads and walks that were unnecessary, in order to save expense in caring for them and to make more land for lots. We have also ashed several roads. On the new side we have laid pipe to carry the water on to the east side.
We have ploughed up a large piece of stump land; done some grading and cleared a large piece of brush land. Owing to the high cost of labor we have not been able to accomplish as much as we hoped to do. Many have put their lots under Perpetual Care during the past year and I would recommend all that possibly can to do so, as it is by far the most satisfactory way. I wish to thank the lot owners for their co-operation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
F. A. SWANTON Superintendent
