The snowfall during 1931 exceeded the snowfall of 1930 by 8.25 inches. Slippery conditions worse than those experienced in 1930 were encountered, and to cope with these conditions con- siderable sanding of roads and sidewalks was necessary. The State Highway Dept. has augmented its road sanding crew this year which impresses one that this work is well worthwhile.
Seven hundred additional feet of snow fence were purchased this year, four hundred feet of which were erected at the upper end of Chestnut Street, and three hundred feet across from the North School on River Road, at which places drifting occurred last year.
During January, February and March, Lupine Road, Argilla Road, a section of Abbot Street and a section of Dascomb Road were covered with gravel. This work was made possible by the expenditure of $10,000 which was appropriated at a special town meeting held January 23d.

In the spring the work of shaping up the gravel on Lupine Road, a section of Dascomb Road and a section of Abbot Street was completed. These roads were subsequently given an applica- tion of Tarvia B, and also an application of Barber Asphalt and are now hard surfaced roads where formerly travel in the early
27
-
spring was difficult. A section of Chester Street was graveled and tarred, and with the completion of this section there is now a hard surfaced road the entire length of Chester Street.
The scraping of roads started April 13th, and the first roads cared for were those in the vicinity of the new By-Pass. The State Highway Dept. supplied gravel for a number of these roads and paid a portion of the cost of oiling the same. Coating these roads with oil minimized the dust nuisance caused by the heavy trucks hauling gravel and stone to the new By-Pass. Ashes and gravel have been spread on the following streets: Summer Street, Highland Road, Rocky Hill Road, Laurel Lane, Holt Road, Ban- croft Road, Gould Road, Hidden Road, Boston Road, Jenkins Road, Brown Street, Woodland Road, Beacon Street, Chandler Road, High Plain Road, Brundrett Avenue, Haggetts Pond Road, Carmel Road and Stonehedge Road.
Additional land was acquired from the American Woolen Co. at the 1931 Town Meeting under Article No. 13, so as to make Kenilworth Street wide enough to permit two cars to pass abreast. The work of widening this thoroughfare was started May 14th and completed May 22nd.
New construction work started June 23rd with the recondition- ing of Central Street from the Square to Phillips Street. This work included the widening of the roadbed to the grass plots and giving additional drainage. Following this work School Street from Central Street to Main Street, Bartlet Street from Park Street to Morton Street, and High Street from the Square to Harding Street were similarly cared for. Incidentally 170 feet of curbing were laid near the corner of Main and School Street to aid in holding up a steep embankment at that point.
New sections of highway fence were installed on Salem Street, Beacon Street and Tewksbury Street where it was dangerous for automobile traffic.
Street signs purchased from the Municipal Street Sign Co., Inc., have been placed on Main Street at all intersecting streets from Phillips Street to Poor Street. This company guarantees that these signs will remain legible for ten years without additional
28
maintenance cost, and will not fade, discolor, corrode, tarnish, break, chip, or peel.
„¡New Warrenite sidewalks were built on the following streets at a cost of 81 cents per sq. yd. -
:"A section of Chestnut St. from Pasho St. to a point 200 feet beyond Avon St.
The westerly side of Washington Ave.
The easterly side of Brook St.
The westerly side of Pasho St.
.. The southerly side of Ridge St.
The westerly side of Bartlet St. from Punchard Ave. to Mor- ton St.
Old tar sidewalks that were badly broken on the following streets were resurfaced at a cost of 35 cents per sq. yd.

Westerly side of Maple Ave.
· Westerly side of Bartlet St. from Park St. to Punchard Ave.
Westerly side of Brook St.
Sections of Central St.
Sections of School St.
Sections of Morton St.
Sections of sidewalks in the vicinity of the School property on Bartlet Street and on both sides of Central Street near Essex Street were rebuilt. A number of plots on Main Street between the curbing and the sidewalk were loamed, edged with sod and seeded.
Nineteen hundred feet of bituminous macadam road were built under Chapter 90, Article 14, on the River Road from the end of the old road to a point opposite the property owned by Oliver Pike. Included in this work was the building of a new culvert in the way of Fish Brook and the lowering of the bed of the brook for a distance of approximately 700 feet. The State, County and Town each paid 1-3 the cost of the above work.
The cracks and expansion joints on the block paving roads and the cement roads on Main Street, Union Street, and Balmoral Street have been filled with Tarvia K. P. to insure a water-tight
29
surface, thus preventing water from getting under the road, freez- ing and causing an upheaval of the roadbed.
Hard surface gutters were built on Union Street from a point south of M. A. Burke's property to a point north of Luke Col- lins's filling station. This work was made possible under Ar- ticle No. 10 of the 1930 Warrant.
A number of drain pipes and catchbasins were installed to remedy unsatisfactory conditions after rain storms, and also needed repairs were made on the bridges.
To provide for adequate Highway Maintenance for 1932 we recommend an appropriation of $50,000. to be divided substan- tially as follows :
Maintenance :
Salaries, labor, teams and truck hire
$24,150.00
Tarvia, Oil and Asphalt 7,500.00
Gravel, ashes, sand, stone and patch

PARK DEPARTMENT
During January and February a section of the football field at the Playstead was flooded with water to make a skating rink. Weather conditions were ideal and the results were most grati- fying.
A section of the Playstead in the vicinity of the baseball out- field which has been plowed, graded and seeded will be used for a junior baseball diamond. A pitcher's box and home plate were purchased for the junior baseball diamond.
The bleachers at the Playstead were repaired, scraped and painted.
As a protection to the Basso property located near the baseball diamond at the Playstead 660 feet of wire fence have been erected. In addition two electric light poles covered with chicken wire have been erected on the west of the existing backstop to give added backstop safety.
A regulation football field has been laid out on the Ballardvale Playstead at the corner of Woburn Street and Andover Street.
The playground at Ballardvale across from the fire station has been graded, loamed and seeded.
The plot at the corner of High and Main Streets was loamed, seeded and rolled, also the plot near the corner of Main Street and Union Street over which the Andover Village Improvement Society has taken jurisdiction. The cost of the latter was paid for by the Andover Village Improvement Society.

Weather conditions were not ideal to flood the football field during the latter part of 1931, which left a balance of $404.97 from the $500. appropriated.
To provide adequate Park maintenance for 1932 we recommend an appropriation of $4000.
SEWER DEPARTMENT
The sewer pump house located on Riverina Road was painted and one of the motors has been rewound.
An air valve has been installed in the syphon sewer line at a high point near the old filter beds.
A number of sewer house connections were installed on Main Street preparatory to the building of the new state Highway.
Ten applications have been filed for sewer house services dur- ing 1931, making a total of 1079 in use January 1, 1932. Appropriation March, 1931 Approved Bills
