The practical working out of this would mean that all ordinary repairs and moderate renewals would be paid out of income. If, however, a considerable outlay became necessary, such as new pumping equipment or a large new supply main, it would be covered by issuing bonds.
It will be of interest for a moment to look at the problem from another angle, namely to take the cost of the works to date, less depreciation, and then assume that as a going business it ought, after paying all expenses, to yield a fair return on its cost and put aside a proper amount yearly for a sinking fund to renew the plant as it wears out.
The Water Department records show the actual cost to date to be $388,700. Equipment discarded may be estimated roughly
13
at $10,700, leaving the cost of the works now in use as $378,000. It would probably be fair to assume that the plant as a whole had depreciated 30% to date. This would leave the value of the works today on the basis of original cost 70% of $378,000 or $265,000.
A return of 6% would seem fair. An annual depreciation of about 2% might be reasonable and may be used in this computa- tion. If a private business, taxes would be paid, say 2%. We would then have figures as follows:
Cost of operation as above
$20,000
Interest 6% on $265,000
15,900
Depreciation 2% 265,000
5,300
Taxes 2% on 265,000
5,300
Total
$46,500
Total income with present rates
26,500
Deficit
$20,000
A fair charge for fire service would pay over half of this de - ficit. A charge for unpaid water now used would reduce it fur- ther. The remainder is very likely due in large measure to the liberal extensions of mains into thinly settled districts where the returns for water sold are small. A private water company could not have afforded the considerable expenditures which these ex- tensions cost. It would, of course, cost a good deal more to re- place the plant today than $378,000, the original cost of the works now in use, but for this general view no consideration need be given to this fact.
Under all the conditions we believe as a practical matter the first method of consideration is the best one and recommend as follows :
1. That the water works of Andover be operated as a separate business but under the Board of Public Works as at present.
2. That the present water rates should not be raised as a whole. It is possible that some simplifying of the present sliding scales can be made to advantage.
3. That the Water Department make yearly a statement of the difference between the estimated expenditures and receipts
14
for the coming year and that the Town appropriate an amount to cover this which may be considered as payment for the fire service which the water works stand ready to furnish at all times.
4. That a proper amount be collected for all water used for drinking fountains and any other public purposes for which the water department now receives no income.
5. That moderate repairs and extensions be made from normal income but that any large requirements for these purposes be paid for by issuing bonds.
It now seems probable that there will be no requirement for any large expenditures for new work for several years to come. It can be determined best later whether it is better to let the charge for fire service disappear as the requirements for outstanding bonds decrease or to continue a considerable appropriation for this purpose and readjust rates. It is entirely possible that be- fore this becomes a live question some further needs will require an issue of bonds, thus making new fixed annual charges and pre- venting any large reductions in income required.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Public Works.
GENTLEMEN: - In accordance with the usual custom I herewith submit the Thirty-Second report of the Water System, Twenty-fourth of the Sewer System, and the Eighth of the High- ways and Parks, containing a brief summary of the work per- formed by the different Departments, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1920, with recommendations for 1921.
WATER DEPARTMENT
There were no new mains laid during 1920 on the Town Streets. There were some laid on private property and paid for by owner. This was all 6" C. I. Pipe. Very little has been done on our Main Lines, only repairs, such as leaks, many joints have been blown, these being repaired as soon as discovered. During the year, or since our estimates were given to the Finance Committee, Wages, Coal, Oil and in fact most everything has advanced. We were obliged to help Lawrence out last February and March, for two months where we only expected to pump 3 or 4 weeks. There- fore our Maintenance of the Water Department was overdrawn somewhat. Our steam plant at Haggetts Pond was operated during 1920, 365 days, and has given good results as the following tables will show.

Gals. pumped
Coal used 374 Tons
Oil used 166 697,884 gals. 365 3713.15 254,727,887 Average d'ly While this is an average of 100,000 gals. more per day than in 1919, during the months of February and March 1920 we pumped to Lawrence 27,216,675 gals. for which we received $5,093.20 or $186.66 per million from the City of Lawrence, leaving only about 9 millions for our own use more than 1919, while our water receipts for 1920 were $2,458.69 more than 1919 after deducting Lawrence's $5,093.20.
Receipts for water, 1919, $23,864.58, Gals. pumped 218,279,797

No. 2 Station on Bancroft Road has been run practically the whole year on Electricity giving excellent results. This station is only used about 30 hours per week.
I would recommend for maintenance 1921:
Salaries and Labor
$11,000.00
Coal, 350 Tons
3,500.00
Hard Coal
100.00
Fuel Oil, 3000 gals.

600.00
Miscellaneous
500.00
$18,000.00
Changing over Water Main on Haverhill Street, Shawsheen Village, Service Pipes and Hydrants, $1500.00.
Permission to use the last Bond issue should be asked for the necessary funds for this work at the regular Town Meeting.
SERVICE PIPE
There have been 65 applications received and 73 laid, which now makes 1594 actually in use, or a total of 126,443 feet in length. There were 8 more laid than applications called for, be- cause these were left over from 1919.
METERS
During 1920 there were set 90 meters varying from 5-8-2" in size.
I would recommend for Service Pipe and Meters in 1921 the same as 1920, $2,000.00.

SEWER DEPARTMENT
During the year a Main Sewer has been laid from the present house at Shawsheen River, a distance of 3454 feet to a new pump house in Shawsheen Village, at a cost of $45,651.11. This cost included the main line above, difference between 8" and 12", which was laid from the new pump house to our settling tank at filter beds. The cost and itemized accounts will be given in the Expenditure Table to follow. This was done on a $40,000.00 bond issue, and there is a balance of $81.00.

I recommend for Sewer Maintenance 1921, $3,000.00.
HOUSE CONNECTIONS
There were received 16 applications for House Connections and of these only 14 were laid, making 756 in actual use. All connec- tions in Shawsheen Village have been laid by private owners, and up to this time are not a part of our system.
FILTER BEDS
There still remain 5 beds partly finished and pipe for a main line to feed them. According to letters on file from State Board of Health, we will have to build about 4 more as well as finish all work started during 1921.
This will require $15,000.00

HIGHWAY AND PARKS
To the Board of Public Works.
GENTLEMEN :- I submit to you the eighth annual report of Highways, for the year ending December 31, 1920. While the policies of the previous year have been followed as closely as pos- sible, with the scarcity of labor and the increased cost of all ma- terials it has been a difficult problem to contend with, and there- fore has occasioned expenses that were not taken into con- sideration at the beginning of the year.
CLEANING STREETS
The streets were cleaned in the Spring, gutters cleaned, and catch basins; I would say the catch basins have been cleaned out four times during the year, and some a great many more. In the fall the leaves cause a great deal of trouble getting over the grates. We kept two men burning these for about one month, but it is impossible to keep them cleaned up, as so many of the property owners rake into the street and leave them there. As we have so many tarvia streets, I would recommend that another man with a hokey-pokey cart be kept going for at least five months in the summer. It would be a great improvement in the looks at a very small cost.
SNOW .
On January 10th, the snow plows were out for the first time in 1920, and from then until the snow was gone. We tried to keep the sidewalks and roads open to the best of our ability, but it was impossible to keep them open all the time. We spent on snow during 1920, $10,833.65 - the largest amount spent on snow for over twenty years. It was all for labor, teams and a few repairs to the plows.
SIDEWALKS
During 1920, there have been 810 feet of curbing set, 298 yards. granolithic walks, 497 yards sidewalk, 357 yards, resurfacing, 494 yards of driveway, about 100 yards of gutter work. There have been cinders put on many sidewalks, and we would do more,
24
only it is getting almost impossible to get fine ones fit for this use. Sidewalks are needed in a great many places, and more should be done in 1921 than was done in 1920. More of the granolithic walks should be built such as were started on Main street, Mar- land Village, this summer. This work is not only necessary, but it adds value to the property which it borders, and is of a permanent nature.
BLANKETING OF STREETS
This work is of a great necessity, because it covers two pur- poses. First, it helps to preserve the roads. Second, it acts as a dust layer. For these reasons we cannot afford to let this work go at all. As it is very plain to see, some of this work had to be ne- glected during 1920 and the roads show it. Now in 1921, we have to practically blanket every street we have, with a thin coat.of tarvia or asphalt and a covering of coarse sand. There is no use of building roads, if you do not take care of the ones already built. There was no oiling done in 1920. It will take 25,000 gallons of tarvia B or asphalt and about 750 loads of sand to do our blanket work in the spring of 1921. This will require an expenditure of $5000.00 for material alone.
HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION
The only construction work done during the year, was Wolcott avenue, Lowell street and Main street. I will report each separ- ately.
WOLCOTT AVENUE
There were added 900 yards to work done in 1919. This cost, $1492.37, divided as follows:
Labor and teams
$527.98
Stone
463.61
Freight
106.58
Tarvia
339.20
Use of roller
35.00
Ashes
20.00
$1492.37
Or about $1.67 per yard.
25
MAIN STREET
This work from Chapel avenue to the State road was taken over by the State Department of Public Works, and let out by contract. The Lane Construction Company of Meriden, Conn., did the work for the State, as well as setting curbing and changing manhole covers, etc., for the Town. The Town spent on this work $11,806.81. The following will show the cost to the Town, divided as follows :-

There were set 2481 feet curbing. The cost to the State De- partment covered the extra width of road which was necessary.
LOWELL STREET
Work was started on Wednesday, June 16, 1920, at station 14200 and was closed down for the year on November 15th, at station 20575, making 6575 of 18-foot roadway or about 12040 square yards, at a cost of $37,500.00. The summary of approved bills will be shown in expenditure table. There is still available to start 1921 work, $16,500.00. In order to complete this work dur- ing 1921, it will be necessary to have an appropriation of $5000 from each State, County and Town this year. There still re- main about 9600 yards to be done, and I hope this may be com- pleted in one job during 1921.
BALLARDVALE DISTRICT
Many small repairs, such as cleaning gutters, catch basins and sidewalk work was all that was done in this section during 1920. Total spent in Ballardvale section with town team and Mr. Haggerty, $1499.18. . At present there are two entrances to Bal- lardvale and whether you go Andover Street or Woburn street,
26
in the fall and spring, neither is passable, for a motor vehicle. I would recommend a tarvia road from where the present one stops, to the top of hill near the School House, on Andover Street, and that cinders be put on Woburn street, on what is called "The Plains," during 1921.

This is a very important question, if we are to continue building roads, which of course we must, for the moment you stop repair- ing and blanketing your roads the moment they start to go to pieces and it costs twice as much to repair them. Your cinder roads we are building in the outside districts must have the sides dug out so water will have a place to run; if not, why your road is the gutter and very soon your cinders are all down to the fields and brooks. The catch basins are increasing every year, and it costs more to keep these cleaned out. Your maintenance work is. also getting toward the outskirts of the town and it costs for transportation back and forth. The appropriation is needed and will be needed for a great many years to keep things anywhere near normal.
CONSTRUCTION
Under this construction, we build what we term as permanent roads, and some sidewalk work. There are many roads to be built, some of which I will mention: Summer street, Andover street, Abbot street, Phillips street, Pearson street, Wolcott avenue, Whittier street.
27
Cinder roads in some of the outside sections where they will do for years are also charged up to this appropriation. I would recommend same appropriation as in 1920, $30,000.00.
