SPRING GROVE CEMETERY
The Trustees of Spring Grove Cemetery submit the following report for the year ending 1926: -
The work and plan of keeping up the cemetery has been carried on to the same high degree.
Owing to the amount of valuable equipment and tools the Trustees found our old wooden building inadequate and so voted to build a new house of tile and cement to insure same from destruction. This building is to be built east of the main en- trance on the new side, and large enough to last a generation.
Lots are still being made and many have been sold on the East side. On the hill a lot or circle 50 feet wide has been laid out for the Legion and in time will be a beautiful lot.
As yet, no one has been elected to fill the vacancy of the late Daniel H. Poor.
The Trustees ask for $6500.00 to carry on the work and de- velopment of the cemetery.

REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
In submitting my annual report I would say that the Brown Tail moth situation in the Town of Andover at the present time is more favorable than in 1924 and 1925. We have found fewer nests and conditions are somewhat improved.
I find, however, an increase in Gypsy Moths in 1926 over 1924 and 1925 and it seems to me this work should be carried along on the same basis as in the past year.
I therefore recommend that the town appropriate $5000., being the same amount as appropriated last year. This amount is necessary if the work is to be done in a satisfactory manner.
Respectfully, E. BURKE THORNTON Moth Superintendent
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
There is a great deal of work to do in this department, taking care of the shade trees and cutting bushes in the outlying dis- tricts. Andover has many miles of country roads with brush growing thick on the sides. This should be cut and cleaned up on account of the heavy automobile traffic of today.
It is necessary to appropriate more money for this work and I recommend the sum of five thousand dollars ($5000.).
Respectfully,
E. BURKE THORNTON Tree Warden

FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Andover.
GENTLEMEN: -
I herewith submit the report of the Andover Fire Department from January 1, 1926, to January 1, 1927.
During this time the department has answered 124 bell and 26 still alarms.
We have laid 11140 feet of 21/2-inch hose using 1260 gallons of chemical and 736 feet of ladders.
The value of buildings where fires have occurred is $325400.00, loss on same $19001.00 mostly covered by insurance.
The equipment consists of one combination hose and chemical; one ladder truck; one combination hose, chemical, and pump; one horse drawn hose wagon; one exercise wagon; two sets of harnesses; one tip cart; two sleds; two horses; one brush fire truck; one ambulance; 6800 feet of 272-inch hose.
We have painted the Ballardvale engine house and connected the underground wires on Main Street.
I recommend that the Town purchase a seven hundred and fifty gallon pump as the pump that is in service now was pur- chased in (1914) nineteen and fourteen.
The ambulance was installed on June 9 and from June 9, 1926, to January 1, 1927 we have answered (88) eighty-eight calls to move sick and injured persons to their home or hospitals.

During the year 1926 Andover has not had a single case of diphtheria, which seems to be a record year. If one will go back through the records of the town it will be found very noticeable that this has scarcely ever occurred before; and we all earnestly hope that this result has been obtained through the thorough work done in giving the Schick test, followed by treatment with Toxin-Antitoxin wherein a susceptible case was found.
Scarlet Fever seems to be on the increase during the past few years. We have had many cases this year, but one cannot say that it has at any time been what could be called an epidemic. When a case broke out in a certain locality close watch was kept for further contacts, and after quarantine was established, and a point of incubation of the disease was reached for these contacts, no other case occurred. . When one reads daily of the great epidemics in a number of the cities and towns around us and how the health authorities have had to close schools and public places to abate this terrible disease, I suppose we must feel some grati- tude in this community.
Mumps have occurred in epidemic form this year, this being the first epidemic in any disease in Andover since the year of the Influenza. The public look too lightly on mumps, thinking the malady does not amount to much, but I wish to state that many bad complications arise from this disease, which are not only uncomfortable, but dangerous.
Parents have been careless in this respect, - by allowing their children to mix with the public in the early stages of the disease or before the disease has wholly subsided. Drastic measures will be taken to make all persons keep absolute quarantine in all contagious or infectious diseases. Rules and regulations as to the length of time of quarantine required for all diseases can be had
70
on request to the local Board of Health. Should these rules be violated the transgressor will be subject to punishment according to law. There has been one case of Typhoid Fever this year. In securing the history we find this case to have been an imported one. Several old cases of Tuberculosis have been hospitalized this year, and we have had comparatively few new cases reported to us; the death rate has been very low.
Statistics show that Ophthalmia Neonatorum is on the wane; this shows careful supervision on the part of the physician at the time of birth. Many complaints have been brought to the attention of this department concerning unscrupulous people throwing sacks of rubbish and refuse on the property in outlying districts; it became so obnoxious during July, August and September that the Board of Health had to appeal to the police to watch for these offenders. All persons will be punished who are found guilty of this misdemeanor, as there is a public dump provided for all waste.
Clean-up week was a success this year and I am sure it is a satisfaction to the tenants and property owners to feel that this will be carried on and enforced in the future: thus protecting them from many annoying instances which occurred in the past.
Most of the dairies in Andover would be a credit to any com- munity; they have constantly improved in the past five years. Many thousand quarts of milk are raised in Andover and being wholesaled out of this territory, as well as a large quantity being retailed here. The tests show a very good percentage of butter fats and we have been unable to trace any disease from the milk supply, which is a fine record for cleanliness and care.
In concluding my report for the year I wish to state that the Clinic held in April for the underweight child has proven to be"a success. The underweight child who has followed the instruc- tions given has gained to a certain extent.
A Baby Clinic is being discussed at this time and in all proba- bility will be open to the public in the latter part of April or in May.
Contagious diseases must be reported by the householder, if this is not done by a physician. Failure to obey this law means liability to a heavy penalty.
Respectfully submitted,
LOTTA JOHNSON, R. N.
