Two thousand nine hundred and eleven feet of six-inch water main were laid on Holt Street from the corner of Stinson Road to the corner of Orchard Street. This water main gives an addi- tional feed to South Main Street. Heretofore when a leak occurred on South Main Street just beyond Bancroft Road, it was neces- sary to shut off the entire South District water system. With this additional tie-in such would not be the case. This work was done under Article 9 of the 1933 Warrant, and also with an additional sum of money from water construction. The cost of laying this pipe was as follows:

Article 9 Water Const.


$1996.60 2837.26


$4833.86


Cost per foot $1.66


One thousand and sixty-five feet of six-inch water main were laid on Gray Road from a former dead end in front of the property owned by Mrs. Honora Glowacki to the property owned by Mr. James Lynch. Considerable ledge was removed. This work was done under Article 10 of the 1933 Warrant, and the cost of laying this extension was $2488.29, or $2.34 per foot.


A six-inch water line used to supply a sprinkling system was laid from Phillips Street to Williams Hall. The Samuel Phillips building has also been equipped with sprinklers and a six-inch main was laid from a six-inch line in front of the building. The entire cost of the above was paid for by Phillips Academy.


Copper tubing is now being used for water services instead of cement and lead lined pipe. The first water service of copper tubing was installed April 12th. Copper tubing will last much longer than lead or cement lined pipe and will not require as much attention.


During the year 1933 four hydrants were broken due to impact with automobiles. This is four less than in 1932.


The Civilian Conservation Corps men employed by the Federal Government at the Harold Parker Reservation were supplied with water during the non-freezing weather from a hydrant located south of Gould Road on South Main Street.


A number of reflectors were installed on hydrants located close to the travelled ways as a warning to automobilists.


The hydrants were given a thorough inspection during the year and those requiring repairs were promptly cared for. All the hydrants were painted this year with a special "Valdura" paint. Those on the low service system were painted yellow with red trimmings and those connected to the high service reservoir were painted yellow with black trimmings.


Prior to the road construction of Ferndale Avenue spare water services were installed to all vacant lots. This will preclude the


5


necessity of digging up the new road to care for future construc- , tion.


Due to the dry spell in June the electric pump was in operation continuously from 4.15 A.M. of June 12th to 9 P.M. of the 13th, during which time 3,051,000 gallons of water were pumped averaging 74,874 gals. per hour.


Shrubbery has been planted around the engineer's house at the Haggett's Pond Pumping Station.


The lathes and grinder at the water works shop have been relocated to make room for supplies.


During the cold weather that followed the snow storm of December 28th forty meters were broken due to freezing. The services to which these meters belonged were frozen through the wall and it was necessary to work day and night to care for the above.


Included in Weston & Sampson's report of December 2, 1924 is the following: "We advise the following order of construction for improving the low service and high service distribution systems. It is recognized, however, that the program suggested may be influenced by local considerations and future building develop- ments."


The Board of Public Works strongly recommends that future developments and improvements to the low and high service systems should follow the plan as laid down by the following lists.


In the first list you will note that larger water mains are recom- mended to replace existing mains. The reason for this is to obtain larger volumes of water at points in Town in case of fire.


New low service reservoir.


School Street-Main Street to Abbot Street-replace 6" with 10". Sunset Rock Road-Connect 6" dead end with 6" dead end on


Hidden Road at Porter Road, and with 6'' dead end at the south end of Hidden Road. Also connect Gardner Avenue to proposed Hidden Road line.


Central Street-Main Street to School Street-replace 6" with 10".


School Street-Central Street to Abbot Street-replace 6" with 10".


Woodland Road-Connect 6" dead ends with an 8" main.

High Service reservoir to Salem Street at Vine Street-install an 8'' line.


Boston Road-Lay a 6" main on Woods Road from Ballardvale Road to Rattlesnake Hill Road; also lay a 6" main on Rattle- snake Hill Road from Woods Road to Boston Road.


From High Service reservoir to Main Street via Prospect Hill Road and Salem Street-install an additional 10" main.


Future developments in other sections of the Town not in- cluded in the above report are as follows:


Install 6" water main from Disbrow's on Chandler to the corner of Brundrett Avenue and an 8" line along Chandler Road and Greenwood Road to Lowell Street, connecting to existing Greenwood Road line with a 6" line.


Install water system in the West District.

During 1933, 328,165,000 gallons of water were pumped at the Haggett's Pond pumping station or a daily average of 899,082 gallons. The steam pump was in operation 640 hours and the electric pump 4116 hours and 20 minutes, making an average daily run of 13 hours and 2 minutes.


On August 3d the greatest amount of water was pumped, namely 1,567,000 gallons, and the maximum weekly consumption


7


was that of June 8th to 14th inclusive, during which time 9,236,- . 000 gallons were pumped. The water rates receipts for 1933 amounted to $42,577.80.


To provide for adequate water maintenance during 1934 we recommend an appropriation of $27,000 to be divided substan- tially as follows:

. The snowfall during 1933 exceeded that of 1932 by 24.25 inches. It was necessary to plow the snow that fell as late as April 13th. The snow storm of December 28th was one of the worst encoun- tered in this section for years. A strong wind accompanying the storm caused drifting which made it necessary to continue plow- ing to keep the roads open for traffic. Three thousand additional feet of snow fence were purchased to care for sections of roads where drifting occurred.


Dascomb Road from Walter Curtis' house to the Tewksbury Line was covered with gravel, and then given an application of Tarvia B. Dascomb Road is now a hard surface road from one end to the other where formerly it was difficult to travel especially in the spring of the year. Some of the labor used on Dascomb Road was sent to the Board of Public Works by the Emergency Com- mittee and Welfare Department.


As soon as weather permitted the streets were cleaned and the following streets that showed signs of wear were treated with Tarvia Retread : Chester Street, Oak Street, Center Street, Mar- land Street, a section of Tewksbury Street, a section of River Street, a section of Andover Street, a section of High Street, Clark Road, a section of Dascomb Road, Highland Road, Argilla Road, Church Street, Cuba Street, Ballardvale Road, Brook Street, Corbett Street, a section of Beacon Street and a section of Reservation Road. After the application of Tarvia Retread the roads were dragged which considerably improved their riding qualities.


11


A gravel road with a tar surface was built on Corbett Street from the junction of Ayer Street to the Lawrence Line. It was ' necessary to move ledge in places to widen the road near the property of Mr. T. Catanzaro. Two drain pipes were installed, one near the Lawrence Line and another near the property of Mrs. Gouin. This work was done under Article 12 and the cost is as follows:

Burnham Road was scarified, graded, covered with gravel and given an application of Tarvia B. To care for drain water near the railroad bridge and Arundel Street drain pipes were installed.


Ferndale Avenue was built this past year. In addition a drain- age system was installed and the road was curbed the entire length. This work was done under Article 13, and the cost is as follows:

A section of Beacon Street from Lowell Street to Chandler Road was graded, rolled, and given a coat of Tarvia B.


Sections of Greenwood Road and Haggett's Pond Road were gravelled during the early part of the year. The labor with the exception of the truck hire and supervision was sent to the Board of Public Works by the Andover Emergency Committee and the Welfare Department.


Chestnut Street from Main Street to Central Street was widened and the plots between the road and the sidewalk were loamed and sodded where necessary. In front of the Post Office building the plot between the curbing and the sidewalk was treated as above.


Morton Street from Bartlet Street to a point in front of the property of Dr. Grant was rebuilt and the plots between the road and the sidewalks were loamed and sodded. Additional catch basins were installed which will facilitate the cleaning of an existing drain pipe.


Andover Street in the vicinity of the Abbott Bridge was widened and a section of the road regraded. The widening makes it possible for three cars to pass abreast, thereby making it much safer for automobile traffic, and the regrading eliminates a bad drainage condition which formerly existed in front of a barn owned by Mr. J. J. Abbott. Wire fencing was attached to the lower section of the iron fence on Stevens Street in the vicinity of the bridge. This acts as a safe guard for children while coasting.


The old highway fence on Abbot Street south of Phillips Street that had outlived its usefulness was replaced by a wire cable fence, and a similar fence was erected near the Abbott Bridge. The latter gives added protection in a most dangerous place. The


13


posts are of reinforced concrete and are a big improvement over the old wooden posts that were formerly used. A number of · wooden highway fences requiring repairs have been cared for.


A tar sidewalk was built on Andover Street from the north boundary of the Bradlee School property to a point in front of the fire house. The cost of the above work is as follows:


Material


$240.00


Labor and truck hire

A tar sidewalk on Central Street from the property of Mr. Alfred Ripley to the driveway of Mr. Arthur Sweeney was re- graded and covered with Tarvia Lithic. A like treatment was given the sidewalk in front of the property of Mr. Fred Jones.


During the hot weather a number of cement slabs on Wolcott Avenue and Whittier Street raised, causing them to crack and thereby making it dangerous for pedestrians. These old slabs were removed and replaced.


On Corbett Street near the Shawsheen School 100 feet of curb- ing were installed, which extends from a piece of existing curbing to the school driveway.


The road between Main Street and Union Street which was formerly a continuation of Poor Street has been discontinued and at the Main Street end curbing was laid.


The rainstorm of March 8th dislodged the side stones on many of the old stone culverts in the way of Rogers Brook, and these were promptly repaired.


The two-inch upper planking and the three-inch lower planking of the Ballardvale Bridge and the two-inch upper planking of the Abbott Bridge were renewed. The iron work of the Ballardvale Bridge was scraped and then given a coat of red lead and paint. This work was done by John Richardson, the lowest bidder. The bids were as follows:


John W. Richardson

The country roads were scraped in the spring and those requir- ing a similar treatment were cared for in the fall.


With money provided by the Civil Works Administration Bellevue Road and a section of Chandler Road are being covered with gravel. On these jobs approximately 250 men and 27 trucks are being employed. The other projects that have been approved by the C.W.A. are the gravelling of North Street and a section of Haggett's Pond Road.


To provide for adequate Highway Maintenance for 1934, we recommend an appropriation of $60000.00 to be divided sub- stantially as follows:


Salaries, labor, teams and truck hire


$25000.00


Tarvia, oil and asphalt

PARK DEPARTMENT


The hard-wood trees in Carmel Woods were cut down during the early part of the year and given to the needy. In the Spring a number of white pines were transplanted and 6000 red pines were purchased and planted where the hard wood trees were removed. The above work was done by help sent to Board of Public Works by Emergency Committee and Public Welfare.


The entrance to the Ballardvale Playstead was beautified by the placing of field stones and the planting of shrubbery. The skinned area of the Ballardvale baseball diamond was dug out and filled with gravel. The material that was dug out was used to fill the right field of the baseball diamond which was in need of regrading. Stones were set at three triangular plots located at the following places: near the Andover railroad station; corner of Main Street and Stevens Street, and at the corner of Hidden Road and Porter Road. The first project was done by the Board of Public Works, the second by members of the Lions' Club, and the third by help from the Emergency Committee.


The roof of the band stand at the Park was shingled with asphalt shingles.


A wire fence was erected on the southeasterly side of the Play- stead and School property. This work was done under Article 21 of the 1933 Warrant.
