Before taking up Article 2 the Moderator read the following tribute from the members of the Board of Health on the death of Bancroft T. Haynes, a member of that Board for fifteen years.
Bancroft T. Haynes of Ballardvale, a member of the Andover Board of Health, passed away on the morning of February 25th.
For fifteen years he had served the town in this department of its civic work with marked efficiency and his help will be greatly missed. His long residence in Andover, of more than sixty years, had given him a wide acquaintance with its people and its needs.
16
By his sterling integrity, sound judgment, kind disposition and faithfulness to his duties, he won the confidence and high esteem of his fellow-townsmen, and his passing causes deep regret.
In recognition of his valued service as a member of the Board of Health, and of his high character as a citizen, the Board votes to enter this tribute in its records, and to send a copy to his family.
