The Chadwick Clinic was started in Andover late in 1930. The state sent doctors, technicians, and nutritionists. Notices were sent to the mothers, informing them that if they wished, they could have their children examined free. They were also asked to be present to talk to any of the staff if they so wished. This clinic is going to be followed up for the benefit of any child that may have defects which can be corrected while they are in school. I am sure that the hundreds of mothers who came to talk over their problems with these trained workers have found that it will be worth their efforts, and those of the mothers who have fol- lowed the advice given will be very much gratified when they re- ceive a report from this clinic, which is holding its second exami- . nation at the present time.
Only one case of Pulmonary Tuberculosis was found in the school children after the first examination, and this child is being treated at a sanatorium. The X Ray examinations showed four Hilum cases, which are a type of tuberculosis found among chil- dren. If these cases are treated properly, they very seldom de- velop Pulmonary Tuberculosis. The treatment for Hilum cases is plenty of rest, nourishing food, fresh air and sunshine.
Analysis of the water supply showed a slight pollution, and it was deemed advisable to chlorinate the water until the source of pollution was found and eliminated.
The Baby Clinic is steadily increasing. The attendance for 1931 was 475, which shows nearly a forty per cent gain. The clinics are held at the Andover Guild the first and third Tuesdays of the month. All mothers are cordially invited to come and bring any of their children under school age.
Your attention is called to the fact that all contagious diseases must be reported by the physician, parent or guardian to the Board of Health. Failure to do this often results in a penalty.
Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
Considerable late spraying was done the past year in an effort to combat the fall web worm. Andover was infested heavily in sections but general conditions were better than in most New England towns.
A few scattered brown-tails' webs were found in the West district.
Gypsy moths did a lot of feeding in one section of the South district, but by spraying and creosoting in the wooded area we will be able to confine this infestation to this section.
This department has returned to the Town through private work the sum of $1712.15. The general condition of the Town is good and by a continued effort should be kept that way. I will endeavor, during the coming year, to carry on the work of this Department with an appropriation of $4500.00, a reduction of ten per cent.
Respectfully submitted,
RALPH T. BERRY
Moth Superintendent

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
The routine work of the Tree Department has been carried on as in other years. Brush has been cut on the following roadsides : Holt Road, Clark Road, Haggetts Pond Road, Highland Road, River Road, Chandler Road, Greenwood Road, Jenkins Road, Boutwell .Road, Dascomb Road, Reservation Road, Summer Street, High Street, Haverhill Street and Osgood Street.
Forty Norway Maple and ten American Elm trees have been set out and thirty-five dead trees removed.
All the Maples on the River Road have been trimmed and the lower branches removed. Considerable dead wood has been cut from the Elm trees, particularly from those in front of Christ Church and on Elm Street.
We have trimmed as much as possible where suggested by the Lighting Committee.
This department appreciates the co-operation of Mr. Gilliard, Superintendent of the Board of Public Works, and all other Town officials.
Community Christmas trees were procured and placed in Bal- lardvale center and Andover square.
Regardless of the fact that there is considerable work to ac- complish this department will be unable to do with a reduced ap- propriation. I realize that the general trend this year is to reduce and with this thought in mind I recommend that the sum of $4500.00 be appropriated (a reduction of 10 per cent) to carry on the work of this department.
Respectfully submitted,
RALPH T. BERRY
Tree Warden

SPRING GROVE CEMETERY
The Trustees of Spring Grove Cemetery submit the following report for the year ending 1931.
The appearance and care of the cemetery have been kept up to the high standard and in a period of years its beauty will be un- excelled.
The cemetery department has thoroughly systematized both the operating and keeping of the records and accounts.
The extension work, outside the regular routine work, for the past year, which has been accomplished by our own employees, is as follows: The laying of 1800 feet of new curbing on the west side, or old part of the cemetery. 2000 feet of crushed stone has been applied to the driveways on the west side and 1500 feet of binder over the crushed stone. Two acres of woodland have been cleared of the underbrush and dead trees on the east side or new part of the cemetery. One acre of this land has been ploughed, fertilized and seeded for new lots.
The Trustees are still beautifying the Old Railroad. A ditch 1200 feet long has been dug to take care of the water. 600 feet of this ditch has been laid with a drain and covered with gravel. 600 feet of the banking has been loamed and graded and over 150 evergreen trees have been planted.
Our projects for 1932 are: further extension of the improve- ment of the Old Railroad which will take at least five years to complete, repair the old driveways and lay curbing in places to protect the lots. It is our intention in time to erect a concrete bridge connecting the old and new cemeteries. This bridge will connect the main road and entrance to the driveway to the vet- eran's lot.
We have purchased many trees and shrubs. By so doing we will save 500%, as the cost of raising them will be small as there is ample space to grow them.
114
The Board of Trustees desires to co-operate with the Town and the lot owners in the improvement of the cemetery and would appreciate any suggestions from time to time.
The Board asks for $7,500.00 to carry on the work and develop- ment of the cemetery. This amount is $900.00 less than last year. Over $4,000.00 was turned back to the Town from the perpetual care lots and labor.
