REPORT OF ANDOVER ASSESSORS' SURVEY
FOR THE YEAR 1928
Mr. Frank H. Hardy, Chairman, Board of Assessors, Andover, Massachusetts.
DEAR SIR :-
Submitted herewith is a brief report of our work on the assessors' maps for the Town of Andover for the year 1928:
FIELD WORK
The survey of the entire thickly settled portion of the Town, including Shawsheen Village, has been completed and traverses surrounding this area have been figured and checked in order to comply with the necessary requirements of accuracy asked for by your Board.
The total area which this survey covers is approximately two and five-tenths (2.5) square miles and is bounded by the Law- rence-Andover boundary line on the north; by the North An- dover-Andover boundary line on the east; by Summer, Upland, Morton, Bartlet, Chapel, Phillips, Torr, and Central Streets on the south ; and by Red Spring Road, Cuba, Stevens, North Main. and Poor Streets on the west.
In addition to the completion of the survey of this area, we have, with the sanction of your Board, and in conjunction with the Board of Public Works, re-surveyed street lines and set street bounds on Harding Street, Carmel Road, Park and Main Streets, and have also established proposed lines on Dufton Road for acceptance by the Town. Plans of the above-mentioned streets have been made and filed with the Town Clerk.

83
OFFICE WORK
To date thirty-nine (39) maps at the scale of 40' to 1" have been delivered to the Town. These completed maps cover an area of approximately seven hundred (700) acres, and seven more maps are nearing completion, one of these at the scale of 40' to 1" and six at the scale of 100' to 1". These, when de- livered, will bring the total of finished work to an area of eleven hundred acres, or one and seven-tenths (1.7) square miles.
The remainder of the Town, which has been surveyed, and this includes Shawsheen Village, has been plotted, but the work on checking of deeds at the Registry at Lawrence is not yet com- plete.
In connection with our office work, we are duly grateful to the Town Clerk and his assistants for the help given in pro- viding information in connection with deed work, and to the of- fice of the Board of Public Works, including Mr. Gilliard and his assistants, for their help in the matter of street lines data so necessary to the proper completion of our mapping.
Attached you will find a small map of the Town, showing in color the area completed, and also that in which work is still under way.
Thanking you and your Board for the kind cooperation which you have at all times accorded us, we are
Very truly yours, MORSE & DICKINSON

In 1928 we had a great decrease in the number of Scarlet Fever cases. In compiling the histories of the cases we find that most of the physicians are using the serum, which seems to be giving excellent results ; with the State Department of Health furnishing; the serum for Scarlet Fever it has become more satisfactory, as it can be had at all times.
" The Well Baby Clinic, held every other Tuesday at the Andover Guild, has grown so that it is well established and is of great value to both the mother and the child. In attendance at our clinic we have had quite a number of new babies from out of town, and the history card from the former clinic which examined the child has been presented. The one nearest to our system of filing came from California. It is very gratifying to the Clinic to feel that mothers from coast to coast are interested enough in this branch of Public Health work to keep these histories, so that this work can be carried on in a very systematic way.
The staff of the Well Baby Clinic has two physicians, two nurses, and a matron chosen by the Andover Branch of the Red Cross nursing committee. The matron meets the mothers and cares for the children while awaiting an interview by the doctors.
One case of Typhoid Fever was reported this year. In going into the case, as to contact, it is quite firmly established that the infection was caused by clams brought to the home by some friends. As the case happened to occur in a locality where there is no sewer, great precautions were taken as to disinfection and the members of the family were immunized against Typhoid Fever, and no other cases developed.
It seems that some people took an unfair advantage of the
87
road being closed to the public dump, and the consequences were that many law abiding people had to suffer because of the fact that careless people dumped their refuse any place that was handy, regardless of other people's property.
Small Pox seems to have made its appearance in many places this year, which has been quite unusual. We had one remote contact case; the patient was vaccinated and we were fortunate enough to escape any other cases.
Lobar Pneumonia and Influenza is being kept well under con- trol. Perhaps in no two diseases have the public been so well in- formed as to how to care for themselves and how to be very careful of relapses; for they have learned that a relapse is in many cases fatal.
Measles seems to have outnumbered all other reportable dis- eases this year ; but when one takes into consideration the number of our population it could have doubled this number and still be a very small percentage.
Dog Bite is becoming a very serious question. All cases of Dog Bite must be reported and the dog must be chained up for at least ten days, and it cannot be released except by the Animal Inspector.
All communicable diseases must be reported to the local Board of Health. Any person concealing a contagious or infectious dis- ease, that is reportable by law, will be prosecuted accordingly.
