Charities Department
The unemployment in Andover during 1929 has caused an expenditure far in excess of any year in our history. The co- operation of the charitableorganizations, churches and individuals has been very valuable and has helped in a great measure to alleviate the suffering of the poor of our town.
We are very thankful to the Red Cross for their assistance and for defraying the cost of our Welfare Worker, Mrs. Lotta John- son, who has done excellent work for the community.
Mrs. Bertha Thornton has been a careful and efficient matron of our infirmary.
The buildings at the infirmary have been painted and a porch added for the inmates of that institution.

No checks should be drawn for any sums not covered by Selectmen's Signed Order authorizing same and totals of these should agree for each month as well as for the year.
In April orders were drawn for certain sums against appro- priations for Town Officers, Police Department, Insurance, Relief Out, Assessor's Survey, and State Aid and in May certain corrections were charged and credited against these appropria- tions due to errors in applying charges against the wrong ac- counts. Pencil notations of these amounts have been noted on the April orders but no corrected signed orders by the Selectmen have been secured to cover the adjustments.
An individual entry should be made in the Cash Book for each Selectmen's Order against the proper appropriation. Some entries cover two and some three signed orders.
This same condition applies to the Draft Register where some- times three and four deposits are added together and entered as one amount. Several checks deposited have been returned on account of lack of funds, and, instead of deducting such amounts from the bank balance, deposits made on later dates have been changed and in one case one deposit omitted entirely to take care of these particular checks.
A ledger account appears under the heading of Miscellaneous. As there was no particular appropriation made to take care of any such account no expenditures should be classified as such. This account includes the following payments :
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Tuberculosis Re-
lief Refund on account overpayment
$223.57
Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Refunds 537.32
Refunds of Poll Tax 2.00
$762.89
As the Town received $610.00 from the State Division of Tuberculosis, this payment of $223.57 should be entered against the receipts in a separate account.
As the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax is covered by a Special Law, refunds made after payment of taxes should be charged against receipts in a separate Ledger Account.
84
Any refunds of Poll or Abatement of Taxes should be charged against the Overlay Reserve Account for the particular year covered by such refunds.
OVERDRAFTS
The State Law is very specific in regard to overdrafts and are only allowable in case of Emergencies:
The following transfers from Reserve Fund were authorized by votes of the Finance Committee:
Town Officers
$ 227.47
Insurance
67.18
Snow
2159.74
Relief Out
1500.00
Tree Warden
37.05
Moth Department
17.82
Total
$4009.26
The first four may be properly classified as due to emergencies, but in addition to the sums above mentioned for the Tree and Moth Departments additional bills for 1929 for $2.50 for the Moth Department and $5.95 for the Tree Department were received for payment in February.
A bill for a balance of $416.53 for 1929 for the Water Depart- ment Maintenance was also submitted with the January bills for payment in February with only a balance of $2.65 left over after paying 1929 bills in January.
This bill was contracted from October 4th to December 9th, 1929 and certainly should have been anticipated by the Board of Public Works so that expenditures could have been kept within the 1929 appropriation.
It is the duty of all Departments to incur no expenses which cannot be taken care of within the regular appropriation and also to see that bills for all the current year's expenses are submitted to the Treasurer on or before the January payment date so that they may be properly cared for in the particular year's account- ing.
85
Two School Department bills, one for $6.25 and the other for $20.00 come within this classification and should have been sub- mitted for payment in January before the 1929 accounting period was closed.

Recommendations of the Finance Committee
The Finance Committee submits the following report :
Real economy is simply a matter of judicious spending.
Keeping this in mind, your Committee has approved only those appropriations which in its opinion would insure maximum · service at a minimum expense, consistent with the prestige and the financial condition of the Town of Andover.
Unfortunately, we are passing through a period of local finan- cial and industrial depression. Consequently your Committee has endeavored by its recommendations not only to keep the tax-rate as low as possible, but also to look with favor on those Budgets and Special Articles which will give employment to our own citizens whenever possible, rather than to outsiders who have no personal interest in the community.
The Budgets of the several Departments call for routine expenses only, and, therefore, present no unusual features.
Several requests for water service extensions have been pre- sented, the granting of which would necessitate the raising of a large amount of money. Certain of these Articles have been approved. Others also of real merit should be postponed, in the opinion of your Committee, to a later date.
The Finance Committee respectfully suggests that the Citizens give their careful consideration to Article 5 calling for an appro- priation of $225,000 for the erection of a new Junior High School.
This project does not meet with our approval. Our examination of present school facilities fails to disclose any pressing need of a building of this type. It is our opinion that at a reasonable expenditure the present School Buildings could be so improved and adapted that the problem of adequate accommodations and proper teaching equipment would be solved.

Your attention is also directed to Article 7 calling for an appro- priation of $40,000 for the installation of steam pumping equip- ment at Haggett's Pond Pumping Station.
This Article does not meet with the approval of your Finance Committee.
Such data and reports as were presented to this Committee disclosed a great difference of opinion as to the type of unit best suited for this work. Three kinds of installation were considered; namely, steam, Diesel and electric.
