FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Selectmen of the Town of Andover.
GENTLEMEN: - I submit the following report of the Andover Fire Department from December 31, 1919, to December 31, 1920.
During this time the Department has answered 85 bell alarms and 11 still alarms. We have laid 3200 feet of 21/2 in. hose and 2050 feet of 3-4 in. hose.
Value of buildings and contents where fires have occurred, $17,500.00.
Loss on buildings $7500.
Insurance on same $9200.
The Department consists of One Combination Chemical Truck. One Combination Pump and Chemical Truck. One fourth class Fire Engine. One two horse Hose Wagon. One two horse Lad- der Truck, and one spare Hose Wagon. Four Horses. Four sets Harness. Two Carts. There are 4650 feet of 21/2 inch hose in good condition.
The Fire Alarm has been causing considerable trouble from poor wire. This wire has been in service for the past twenty years and should be replaced at once.
The earnings of the Horses and Drivers for the year are $1266.30. We recommend that the sum of $23500 be appropriated for the use of the Fire Department. We also recommend the purchase of an Auto Ladder Truck and selling the Horses at the Central Station.
CHARLES F. EMERSON,
Chief Engineer.

BOARD OF HEALTH
The Board of Health desires to bring to your notice what seems to be a most decided and desirable advance in the fundamental principle of its work, the conservation of Public Health. This has been brought about in a great measure by the appointment of a Board of Health Nurse, whose work has not only met with our hearty approval, but has been a great addition to the work of general nursing so well carried on by the District Nurse. The work has been so divided as to make the one supplemental to the other, thus avoiding the overlapping of both time and energy. A very marked advance has been made in one department which stands out prominently, that of Tuberculosis, in which more time has been given to individual cases, and has made pos- sible the discovery of many new, and so called incipient cases. We are now able, as never before, to take advantage of the clinical work offered at North Reading, and the public clinics at Lawrence. The demonstration of Tuberculosis in the young has been a factor which is a step in the direction of elimination of the dread disease, and one which may well call for the hearty support of our townspeople. In other ways it has been a factor in the edu- cation of the public as to the curability of the disease when dis- covered and properly cared for in its early stages. It has also made the problem of Sanatorium treatment much easier. Our people now recognize the fact that a Tuberculosis Hospital is not merely a place of isolation, but is for the ultimate cure of the patient; the protection of the public, as well as the protection of the patient, now go hand in hand.
The elimination of the cases of infectious and contagious dis- eases from the District Nurse has allowed more time for inside nursing and social work. Thus as throughout the State, the duties of the social worker, as exemplified in the work of Miss
91
Campbell, can be given greater prominence. The work of Mrs. Johnson in tabulating statistics, by card indices and general clinical work, which does not show in this report, has been of great value not only to your local Board, but carries out more fully the work as suggested by the State Department of Health.
Your Board has also been able this year to carry out more di- rectly the general sanitary problems of the town that are con- stantly brought to our attention. Much latitude was given in the rules of your Board during the World War in regard to the keeping of hogs, and such matters as seemed to aid in the conser- vation of food, but under the general supervision of our nurse, who was given the power of special agent of the Board, these matters have been conducted in a manner so that it has been no detriment to the health of the town. In other matters pertaining to the general welfare of the town we are gradually equipping a laboratory in the Board of Health Room in the Town House for the examination of milk, ice cream, butter, etc., and trust that such expenditure of money as may be made from time to time may be made judiciously, and in a manner to meet with your appropriation.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
I herewith present my report for the year ending December 31, 1920.
During the past year no unusual problems have arisen.
Miss Moreton has continued her work as school nurse in a highly satisfactory way.
There have been no serious epidemics and in general the health conditions among the scholars has been good. During the fall term three or four cases of diphtheria occurred at the Indian Ridge School and, in cooperation with the Board of Health, cultures were taken from the throats and noses of all the children in this building with the result that one "carrier" was found and ex- cluded. No more cases occurred. Anterior poliomyelitis was epidemic in the autumn but no cases were found among school children. There have been occasional cases of other contagious diseases and these have been promptly excluded and quarantined at home.
A dental clinic is soon to be started in our schools under the supervision of the Red Cross and this is indeed a long step in the right direction. It is no exaggeration to say that 95% of our children have defective teeth and need dental care. Wallin claims that merely making dental repairs on a group of children raised their efficiency in the school 57%.
During the war, figures of the draft showed that one out of every three boys was physically unfit for service and that the percentage of those rejected in Massachusetts was larger than the average for the country. In the connection it seems to me that further effort is needed. We have done much in preventing the spread of contagious diseases, in eliminating handicaps such as enlarged tonsils, etc., but we must go further and do con- structive work to build up our children physically as well as men- tally. Some properly conducted course of physical training in connection with our school work would be a great help. In New York State there has been marked improvement in the physical condition of the school children since physical training has been adopted.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TOWN FARM
At the annual town meeting in 1919 a committee was ap- pointed to consider what disposition should be made of the prop- erty known as the Andover Town Farm, or what changes might wisely be recommended in the management of the same. The Chairman of the Board of Selectmen was a member of that committee, and his death occurring during the year made it wise that action should be deferred until the vacancy was filled. The committee was therefore continued subject to the filling of the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Eames. Following the meeting of 1920 the vacancy was filled by the appointment of Walter S. Donald, Chairman, Board of Selectmen. The committee has given careful consideration to the subject, first considering the importance of continuing the maintenance of a town home as an exclusive Andover institution and second, as to the better pro- cedure to be followed in using the present property.
While the number of inmates is constantly changing, and had for some time remained at a low figure, recent depressed condi- tions have resulted in adding to the number, so that it is pretty definitely determined that accommodations must be made for the poor of the town, that will provide for not less than twenty per- sons. Considering the proposition of combining with a neighbor- ing town for the maintenance of a joint institution, the com- mittee believes this unwise, irrespective of the possible saving of money that might follow such a combination. Joint operation would undoubtedly be accompanied by friction between the over-seeing factors, and consequent unsatisfactory conditions for the inmates. The committee therefore expresses the unanimous opinion that the town must continue to maintain and operate a town house for the poor of Andover.
Considering the matter of selling the present plant, embracing 3112 acres, and the various buildings well known to the people of
100
the town, it would undoubtedly be to the advantage of the town if a more compact and modern building could be constructed entirely apart from any farming activities for such service as the town home should provide. To construct such a building at the present time would involve the expenditure of a sum of money much in excess of any amount that has been suggested as the probable payment the town would receive if the present property were sold. The committee believes, therefore, that it is not wise at the present time to dispose of the town farm in its entirety.
Considering the main building as a building capable of improve- ment for use as a home, apart from farm activities, it would be possible to spend an amount of approximately $12000 to $15000 in remodelling the present main building for an institution that would care for the needs of the town for some time to come. Such remodelling should provide for removing all the outbuildings except those absolutely necessary for service to the main building itself, and arranging streets and driveways so that the main building may have a proper setting. After such an arrangement had been made it would be possible to sell the larger part of the land for a price that would undoubtedly care for all the improve- ments that would be required to make the plant thus remodelled an efficient and satisfactory home.
The committee recommends that the Selectmen be authorized to offer for sale at public sale all of the surplus land not needed for such improvement as has been suggested, and that they be authorized to expend out of the amount secured from the sale, such money as may be necessary to satisfactorily remodel and improve the present main town farm building.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN N. COLE, Chairman FRANK A. BUTTRICK WALTER S. DONALD
