Took up Article 11: -
Voted, at 4.20 p.m. - to accept the report of the Trustees of Memorial Hall Library which was as follows:
The Trustees of the Memorial Hall Library, as instructed at the last annual town meeting, have made a careful study of the needs of the library. They have reached the conclusion that any changes in the building should provide for doubling the stock or book-shelf capacity which is already seriously inadequate, should furnish a separate reading-room for children, should enlarge the present reading room, should secure adequate quarters for the library staff where the cataloging and other administrative work can be carried on, should remove the Cornell Art Collection from its present inaccessible and dangerous location and should make the Memorial Hall of the second story into a real hall available as a meeting place for patriotic or other civic organizations. In addition they believe that in connection with these changes the exterior appearance of the building should be so altered as to make it more attractive and more in keeping with the traditions and dignity of the town.
22
It is their opinion that the sketch plans prepared by Mr. Carlson of the firm of Coolidge & Carlson of Boston, which have been before the public for several months now, meet these re- quirements. By means of an addition on the north side of the present building they provide a well lighted children's reading- room in the basement 36 feet x 28 feet with a separate entrance, for two floors of stock room corresponding to present first-floor levels and for a gallery for the Cornell Collection opening from the present second-story hall. The addition also contains offices for the library staff. By these plans, the present Mansard roof would be removed and a colonial roof substituted and corre- sponding changes made in the present windows. The front entrance would be rebuilt including both first and second stories. The Memorial Hall would be floored over and seating arrange- ments provided for about 200 people. The present wooden book- shelves would be replaced by steel stacks; the wooden stair case replaced with iron and the entire building repainted inside and out. New electric wiring and an adequate ventilating system are planned. An allowance is made for additional heating if found necessary.
In short we believe that these plans will provide an attractive, efficient library building which will serve the needs of the town for a generation.
Estimates have been made, as carefully as can be done without complete specifications, and a reasonable average taken of the three submitted. This gives a figure of between $88,000.00 and $89,000.00 as the probablecost. The trustees therefore recommend the appropriation of $90,000.00 as provided in the article in the town warrant.
Respectfully submitted N. C. HAMBLIN,
For the Trustees of the Memorial Hall Library
Voted, at 4.25 p.m. - That the Town appropriate the sum of $90,000. for the purpose of making such changes in the building and equipment of the Memorial Hall Library as are recommended by the Trustees thereof, $40,000.00 to be appropriated out of the tax levy of the year 1926, and the Town Treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen, be and hereby is authorized and
23
directed to prepare, issue and sell bonds or notes of the Town to an amount not exceeding $50,000.00 to pay the balance, said bonds or notes to be payable in annual payments of $10,000.00 in the years 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930 and 1931, and at such rate of interest, not exceeding 5% per annum, payable semi-annually, as the Treasurer and Board of Selectmen may deem expedient, bearing on the face the words "Memorial Hall Library Loan 1926," signed by the Treasurer and countersigned by the Selectmen, all in conformity with Chapter 44 of the General Laws, and that the Trustees be authorized to have the construction carried out in accordance with this report.

CHARITIES DEPARTMENT
The demands made on this department for Out of Almshouse relief have this year been larger than for many years resulting in a substantial overdraft of our appropriation for this work.
Continued lack of employment in Andover has forced a greater number of our citizens to apply for aid, and business conditions, in other sections where our citizens are located, have been so far below normal that more than the usual amount of relief has been asked for, and given, by the City or Town in which they are located; these cities or towns being reimbursed by Andover.
While we always have this condition to meet, the demands from citizens living out of Andover, but having a residence here, have been greater than ever before.
We have asked for a larger appropriation this year than last, but trust that conditions may improve and that it may not be necessary to use the entire amount.
The Almshouse is being kept in good repair, minor alterations and repairs being necessary each year to keep the building in a satisfactory condition.
In making this year's budget we have anticipated a slight increase in the number of inmates.
The care of the inmates is exceptional and we believe the Town is receiving splendid service from this branch of the Poor Depart- ment.
