REPORT OF CUSTODIAN JOHN CORNELL ART GALLERY
To the Trustees of the Memorial Hall Library.
GENTLEMEN: I herewith submit the report of the gallery for the twelve months ending December 31, 1924.
The most marked event of the year has been the increased attendance of the children, which has been cheering.
The attendance for 1923 was 300, of which 130 were adults and 170 children. For 1924 there is a total of 427: adults 120, children 307. These figures show a gradual increase towards the attendance of 1917, which was 610.
One reason for the rise is due to the fact that some children under fourteen have come to the gallery earnestly asking per- mission to remain. As no adults could accompany them, your custodian has taken them in charge. Their appreciation has been shown in various ways.
A deeply interested caller to the gallery was a representative of The Lawrence Sun. One result of his call was an enthusiastic article in the next issue of The Sun. Another was the visit the next week of several Lawrence residents, who announced at once that they had read the article and were moved to see for them- selves. They remained some time, evidently reluctant to leave such an attractive place. On their departure they expressed the intention of returning with some of their friends.
The gallery is entering on its twenty-fifth year of service. It is earnestly hoped that when the next report comes in it will show that the year has been unusually productive.
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 annual report for the year ending December 31, 1924.
This is the twelfth annual report of the Board under its re- organization, and includes the twenty-eighth annual report of the Sewer System, the thirty-sixth of the Water System, and the twelfth of the Highway and Park Departments, since they have been under the jurisdiction of the Board of Public Works.
ORGANIZATION
Philip L. Hardy and William D. McIntyre were elected to the Board for the term of three years. The Board met on March 10, 1924, and organized as follows: Chairman, Philip L. Hardy; Secretary, William D. McIntyre; Treasurer, Arthur T. Boutwell. Mr. Frank L. Cole was appointed superintendent for one year.
WATER DEPARTMENT
During the year 1924 there has been added to the Water System eight thousand two hundred ninety-one feet (8,291) of 6-inch cast iron pipe in the West district, with hydrants, three hundred forty feet (340) of 6-inch pipe on Carmel street with a hydrant, making fifty-nine and forty-seven hundredths miles (59.47) of water mains, four hundred thirty-three (433) hydrants owned by the Town, and forty-five (45) hydrants on private property. A more complete analysis of this work with regard to detail and cost, will be found in the Superintendent's report.
All hydrants have been inspected and found with a few ex- ceptions to be in perfect working order. However, where faulty operation was discovered it was in no sense due to the lack of
3
proper attention by this department, but rather to the improper closing by some person not wholly familiar with its operation. In the future, with the exception of firemen and employees of the Board of Public Works, no one will be allowed to operate hydrants in Town. This action has the approval of the Fire Underwriters.
This year the water consumption together with receipts, has been the largest in the history of the system, the total gallons pumped being three hundred thirty-seven million, seven hundred seventeen thousand, two hundred forty-seven (337,717,247) gallons, about five million (5,000,000) gallons greater than was pumped last year.
At our last annual Town meeting this Board was instructed to make a general survey of the Water System with recommenda- tions. This investigation has been made through the firm of Weston & Sampson, Engineers, and from which we have dis- covered many changes that must be made in the very near future. Among which we think the most essential to be cared for this year are:
Connect dead end on Pine street with Elm street line three hundred eighty-five feet (385) of 6-inch pipe.
Connect dead end on Abbot street with Phillips street seven hundred eighty-six feet (786) of 6-inch pipe.
Connect dead end on Highland road with line at the corner of Chestnut street, eight hundred thirty feet (830) of 6-inch pipe.
Connect dead end on Morton street to line on Chestnut street, one thousand six feet (1006) of 6-inch pipe.
An extension on Pasho street, 772 feet of 6-inch pipe.
This will involve an expenditure of approximately twelve thou- sand dollars ($12,000.00). These changes we consider absolutely necessary, as they will bring some of this area into our high service system. Dead ends cause the Town big expense each year because of the necessity to drain them off during the summer months. These new proposed connections will eliminate the necessity of the so-called blowing off of the system at these points, thereby giving better circulation to the system, and in- creasing its efficiency both as a drinking water system and a fire protection.

We present you below a summarized report of the Water System together with the Pumping Plant as presented to us by the firm of Weston & Sampson, Engineers:
December 2, 1924
Subject- Water Supply Distribution System
Board of Public Works,
Andover, Mass.
Gentlemen :
In accordance with your request we have made a study of your water supply distribution system and present the following report.
IN GENERAL
The source of water supply is Haggett's Pond at the south end of which is the pumping station equipped with a new 2 M. G. electric motor-driven centrifugal pump and a 1.5 M. G. steam pumping engine installed in 1894. The pumps discharge into a 12-inch main on Lowell Street, supplying West Andover, Shaw- sheen Village and Andover proper, and a 10-inch main via Osgood Street, supplying Ballardvale. The excess pumpage is stored in a low service reservoir of 1,500,000 gallons capacity, situated about 112 miles southeast of the Town Hall. A certain section of Andover lying, for the most part, east of Main Street and south of Highland Road is at too high an elevation to be supplied from the low service reservoir so that two 0.5 M. G. booster pumps have been installed just south of Bancroft Road, taking the low pressure water and discharging it into an 8-inch high pressure main leading to a high service reservoir of 620,000 gallons capacity, situated on Prospect Hill, the highest point in Essex County. The elevation of Haggett's Pond at normal stage is 105, of the lower floor of the pumping station 117, of the low service reservoir flow line 309 and of the high service reservoir flow line 406. The friction head at Haggett's Pond pumping station with the electric pump in operation is 90 feet and with the steam pump 53 feet.
The average daily consumption of water in 1921 and for several years previous was about 600,000 gallons. For 1922, due largely to the development of Shawsheen Village by the American
5
Woolen Company, the consumption was 718,000 gallons per day and in 1923 had increased to 911,000 gallons.
WATER SUPPLY TO WEST DISTRICT
A part of Andover in the westerly corner, the so-called "West District," is at too high an elevation to be supplied with water from the present low service system and is too distant to be supplied from the present high service system. The only feasible method of supply is to establish a high service system for this district similar to that now in use for the easterly part of Andover.
The accompanying plan shows such a system and consists of :
A low pressure supply main, connecting with the present 10-inch low pressure main on Lowell Street and extending up Haggett's Pond Road to a booster pumping station opposite Wood Hill.
A booster pumping station taking water from the low pressure main and discharging into a 10-inch high pressure main leading to a standpipe on Wood Hill. The pumping station would contain an electric motor driven centrifugal pump with a capacity of 150 g. p. m. against a total pumping head of about 100 feet re- quiring a 10 H. P. motor. It would be practicable to arrange for automatic operation of the pump by means of a compensator and pressure governor so that the pump would stop when the stand- pipe was full and start when the water had been drawn down about 10 feet.
A standpipe on the summit of Wood Hill with its flow line at elevation 390 and having a capacity of 150,000 gallons. The standpipe could be of steel or concrete with an inside diameter of 25 feet and a height of 40 feet. Assuming a fire to occur with 30 feet of water in the standpipe two fire streams could be sup- plied in addition to the ordinary domestic consumption for a period of three hours.
The distribution system is designed to furnish 500 g. p. m. at any hydrant under a pressure of about 40 lbs. with two fire streams in operation. The highest point in the distribution system is on High Plain Road between Haggett's Pond Road and Cross Road, where the elevation is about 270, giving a static pressure of 52 lbs. with a full standpipe. The static pressure on River Road near the Tewksbury line would be 63 lbs. and at the high point on Haggett's Pond Road, 69 lbs.

We estimate the cost of the West District high service system as follows:
LOW PRESSURE SUPPLY MAIN
Lowell Street, End of present 10" to Haggett's Pond Road, 1100' of 10" $4,000
Haggett's Pond Road-Lowell St., to Booster Pumping Station, 5300' of 8"

Woodhill Road-High Plain Road to Low Pressure Main, 800' of 6" 1,700
114,500
Total
$152,000

There are now 45 houses within the area that would be supplied with water by the above system and assuming that all would apply for water the yearly income to the Town of Andover under the present water rates would be about $600 or less than one-half of one percent on the cost of construction.
The yearly cost of supplying water would be as follows:
Fixed Charges, 4% of $152,000 $6,080
Maintenance and Depreciation, 2% of $152,000 3,040
Electric Power, 9000 K. W. Hrs. at .04 360
500
Attendance, Repairs, etc.
Total Yearly Cost
$9,980
Unfortunately the same disparity between income and cost applies to any section of the district that might be supplied with water.
In view of the above facts it is evident that to furnish water to the West District under the present sparsely settled condition would burden the water department with an expense that could only be fairly met by a general increase of the water rates in Andover of approximately 25% or by a guaranteed income to the water department by those supplied of about 612% of the con- struction cost.
EXTENSION OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN WEST DISTRICT
The remainder of the West District of Andover could be supplied with water by extending the present low pressure system.
The following tabulation gives the streets that could be included in the present low pressure system, together with the proper size, length and estimated cost of the mains.
Lowell Street-End of Present 10" Main to Haggett's Pond Road (provide for "West District" High Service System) 1100' of 10"

High Plain Road-Greenwood Road to B. & M. R. R., 4000' of 6" 8,250
Haggett's Pond Road-Lowell Street to Booster Pumping Sta- tion (provide for West District High service system) 5300' of 8" 14,000
Woodhill Road-Haggett's Pond Road to End of Low Pressure System, 4500' of 6" 9,100
None of the above streets are, as yet, sufficiently populated to warrant the extension of the present low pressure system.
CONCLUSIONS ON WEST DISTRICT
From the above considerations we believe that the time has not yet arrived for the Town of Andover to further extend its water supply system to provide for any part of the West District.
PRESENT LOW SERVICE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
An incomplete study of the present low service distribution system suggests the following:
Main Street-Essex Street to Stevens Street. Install ad- ditional 10" main or replace present 8" with 12" before Main Street is improved.
9
Central Street-Main Street to School Street. Replace present 6" with 10".
Pine Street-Connect present 6" dead end with Elm Street.
Walnut Avenue-Connect present 6" dead end at Carmel Street with Elm Street.
School Street-Central Street to Main Street. Replace present 6" with 10".
Abbot Street. Connect present 6" dead end with Phillips Street.
Change from low service to high service system on the follow- ing streets:
Morton Street. From Bartlet Street to Chestnut Street, con- necting with the present 6" high service dead end on Bartlet Street and extending the present 6" dead end on Morton Street to Chestnut Street.
Chestnut Street from Morton Street to Highland Road.
Highland Road from Chestnut Street to Summer Street.
Summer Street from Highland Road to Pine Street.
PRESENT HIGH SERVICE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The high service distribution system extends over a con- siderable area and protects many valuable buildings especially on land of the academy. Low service water is also available for some of the academy buildings, to the extent of from 3 to 4 fire streams with the aid of pumping engines. Better high service fire protection is needed and could be furnished by an additional 10" main from the high service reservoir along Prospect Hill Road and Salem Street. It is probable that another high service reservoir will be required at some future time to provide addi- tional storage as the present reservoir will provide 10 fire streams for only four hours.
Other improvements are as follows:
Highland Road. Connect present 6" dead end with proposed high service on Chestnut Street.
Woodland Road. Connect present 6" dead end with Highland Road by an 8" main.
Connect Salem Street and Main Street via Vine Street, Holt Street, and Wildwood Road by an 8" main.
10
Install an 8" main from the reservoir to the intersection of Salem and Vine Streets.
Main Street. Ballardvale Road to Rattlesnake Hill Road. Increase 6" to 8" or lay a 6" main on Woods Road from Ballard- vale Road to Rattlesnake Hill Road and on Rattlesnake Hill Road from Woods Road to Main Street.
Sunset Rock Road. Connect present 6" dead end with 6" dead end on Hidden Road at Porter Road.
Stinson Road. Connect present 6" dead end with Salem Street.
We advise the following order of construction for improving the low service and high service distribution systems. It is recog- nized, however, that the program suggested may be influenced by local considerations and future building developments.
Change the following streets from the low service to the high service system.
1. Chestnut Street from Highland Road to Morton Street, connecting with the present 6" high service dead end on Highland Road.
2. Highland Road from Chestnut Street to Summer Street.
3. Summer Street from Highland Road to Pine Street.
4. Morton Street from Bartlet Street to Chestnut Street, connecting with the present 6" high service dead end on Bartlet Street and extending the present 6" dead end on Morton Street to Chestnut Street.
Other improvements:
5. Abbot Street. Connect 6" dead end with Phillips Street.
6. Pine Street, Connect 6" dead end with Elm Street.
7. Walnut Avenue. Connect 6" dead end at Carmel Street with Elm Street.
8. School Street-Main Street to Abbot Street. Replace 6" with 10".
9. Stinson Road. Connect 6" dead end with Salem Street.
10. Sunset Rock Road. Connect 6" dead end with 6" dead end on Hidden Road at Porter Road.
11. Central Street-Main Street to School Street. Replace 6" with 10".
12. School Street-Central Street to Abbot Street. Replace 6" with 10".
11
13. Main Street-Essex Street to Lewis Street. Replace 8" with 12".
14. Main Street-Lewis Street to Stevens Street. Replace 8" with 12" before Main Street is improved.
15. Woodland Road. Connect present 6" dead end with Highland Road by an 8" main.
16. Vine Street. Holt Street and Wildwood Road. Connect Salem Street and Main Street with an 8" main.
17. High service reservoir to Salem Street at Vine Street. Install an 8" main.
18. Main Street-Ballardvale Road to Rattlesnake Hill Road. Replace 6" with 8" or install an additional 6" main on Woods Road and Rattlesnake Hill Road, or by some other route to connect the two points.
19. High service reservoir to Main Street via Prospect Hill Road and Salem Street. Install an additional 10" main.
20. Construct additional high service reservoir of about 750,000 gallons capacity.
HAGGETT'S POND PUMPING STATION
The present pumping plant at Haggett's Pond consists of, -
(1). A Deane cross-compound, high duty, steam pumping engine having a rate capacity of 1,500,000 gallons per 24 hours. This pump was erected in 1894, and although in nearly constant service for thirty years, it is still in reasonably good condition and with the continued careful attention that has been given it in the past should be capable of economically supplying the town with water for several years. The pumping station records show that the duty of the Deane pump is about 75,000,000 ft. lbs. per 1000 lbs. of steam which cannot be equalled in operating cost except by a cross-compound crank and flywheel steam pumping engine or an oil engine driven pumping machine. In either case, the cost of installation, without any addition to the pumping station building which would probably be necessary for the steam pump or the erection of two new boilers designed for 150 lbs steam pressure, would amount to at least $25,000.
(2). A Lawrence Pump and Machine Company electric motor driven centrifugal pump having a capacity of about 2,000,000 gallons per 24 hours. This pump was erected in 1924 and is a
12
valuable asset to the pumping station as it provides an inde- pendent source of delivering water to the Town in case of ac- cident to the steam pump which considering its long service is liable to occur and cannot be entirely foreseen.
(3). A Rumsey Pump, operated by an oil engine, with a capacity of slightly over 1,000,000 gallons per 24 hours. This pump was installed in 1910 and owing to the greatly increased consumption of water in recent years is hardly capable of sup- plying the maximum demands for water.
(4). Two 100 H. P., horizontal, tubular boilers, 66"x16'-0", built for 125 lbs. steam pressure. The north boiler was installed eighteen years ago and the south boiler fifteen years. These boilers would not be suited to a new steam pumping engine but may be serviceable during the useful life of the present Deane pump.
Although it will be necessary to install a new high duty pump- ing engine within a few years, we believe that the Deane steam pump should be operated for the present with the electric pump held in reserve but used each month to the extent of the standby charge for electricity.
Respectfully submitted, WESTON & SAMPSON
We believe this report shows intelligent study of the entire water system, and that all extensions that are made in the future should be in accordance with this plan.
The Board would recommend the sum of thirty-one thousand dollars ($31,000.00) for maintenance of the water department for the ensuing year, also the sum of twelve thousand dollars ($12,000.00) to be used for construction and service pipe. These recommendations are twenty-five hundred dollars ($2500.00) lower than last year for the maintenance of the water depart- ment, and three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) less for construction and service pipe. A detailed account of the estimated expendi- tures of the maintenance of the water department will be found in the Superintendent's report.
