Catch basins on Argyle Street, Carisbrooke Street and York Street, which formerly entered a small Akron drain running to the Shawsheen River, have been connected to the main culvert which runs through this vicinity. The small Akron drain takes the drain- age from a number of houses in this area which heretofore backed water up into the cellars when the road drainage entered. This . work was done by W.P.A. labor with the exception of supervision and materials.
The following roads were treated with gravel : an unnamed road which runs between Argilla Road and Dascomb Road, Jenkins Road, Blanchard Street, Chandler Road, Greenwood Road, Sunset Rock Road, Rocky Hill Road and Cross Street.
The lower sections of the furnace sheets adjacent to the mud- ring of the steam roller boiler were corroded to such an extent that it was necessary to renew them; so the sheets were cut out midway between the rows of staybolts, the rivets in the mudring renewed and the removed sheets replaced by new sheets of the original thickness. New rivets were driven through the mudrings and sheets, the edges of the patches and remaining sheets scarfed and the sheets joined at the resulting grooves by means of electric welding. This was done by the Merrimac Boiler Works at a cost of two hundred ninety-four dollars and eight cents ($294.08).
A culvert was installed on Lowell Street just above Lincoln Street and another on Ballardvale Road near the corner of Sunset Rock Road. A culvert near the property of John Hall on Dascomb Road was extended, one on Walnut Avenue above Carmel Road renewed, one in G. Richard Abbott's property renewed, one on Dascomb Road above Osgood Street renewed and a number on Haggett's Pond Road installed. A drain pipe on Morton Street was cleaned and three extra catch basins installed in this vicinity, one on Morton Street and two on Bartlet Street. This eliminates a bad drainage condition that has heretofore existed.
The entire length of Stratford Road was graveled and rolled. Railroad Street was built by the Town and paid for by the Boston & Maine Railroad. This work consisted of scraping the road, applying an average of two inches of fine gravel, rolling, applying one-half gallon of "Tarvia B" per square yard and sanding. Then, a week later, a quarter of a gallon per square yard of "Tarvia Retread" was applied, sanded and given a honing. This cares for
170
a stretch of privately-owned road that formerly was a source of complaint.
Under Article 12, Salem Street from Gray Road to Jenkins Road was shaped up, gravelled in sections, rolled and given an application of "Tarvia B" and "Tarvia Retread." Haggett's Pond Road from Lowell Street to a point in front of the property of Mr. Fred Hardy was given a similar treatment.

The Stevens Street Bridge was scraped and painted with a coat of red lead and asphaltum paint. The planking was renewed with treated material, the bottom planking being three and the top two inches. This work was done by Mr. Lewis Muise, the lowest bidder, at a cost of five hundred ninety-five dollars ($595.00).
Curbing was laid on the east side of Buxton Court and on Chestnut Street in the vicinity of the Andover Savings Bank. This curbing was provided by the plot of land located at the corner of Main and Lowell Streets taken over by the Town at the last Town Meeting.
Posts have been placed at a number of dangerous places along the highways as guides to automobilists.
The construction of Haggett's Pond Road is continuing under W.P.A. "Farm to Market."
The last section of hard-surfaced road on River Road, a dis- tance of three thousand, five hundred and twenty feet was com- pleted this year. The work started August 20th and the road was opened for traffic October 22nd. The Town's share of the work was done under Article 10 of the 1937 Warrant; the State paying fifty per cent of the cost and the County and Town twenty-five per cent each. This year the Board of Public Works is asking for forty-five hundred ($4500.00) dollars under Chapter 90 as the Town's share of the cost of rebuilding Elm Street from the Square to Washington Avenue.
The construction and repairing of sidewalks was started July 26th, and the following work was accomplished :
New "Tarvia-Lithic" sidewalks were built as follows: on High Street (B.V.) in front of the Catholic Church, south side of Binney
171
Street, north side of Fletcher Street, east side of Florence Street, and the following existing sidewalks were resurfaced with the same material: High Street (B.V.) from the Church to Andover Street; Andover Street from the east side of the bridge to the top of the hill; Tewksbury Street from the Railroad Crossing to Mar- land Street; north side of Essex Street from a point west of Mr. George Lannan's store to the bridge; and Park Street from the Academy Garage to Florence Street.

A sewer line was installed on sections of Elm Street, Cheever Circle and Coolidge Road, later in another section of Cheever Circle and a section of Walnut Avenue. This work was done by Ellsworth Lewis, contractor, supervised by the Town and paid for by Mr. Frederick Cheever.
A six-inch sewer line was installed by Louis Cyr, contractor, on a stretch of new road which is a continuation of Sutherland Street. The Town inspected the work to see that elevations shown on the plans were followed in case the street is ever taken over as a Town highway.
173
A six-inch sewer line was installed to care for the new houses recently built by the Phillips Academy in the vicinity of Professor Moorehead's house. This work was done by Ellsworth Lewis, contractor, and supervised by the Town, the Academy paying for both installations and inspection.
A six-inch sewer line was installed to care for a new house built on Flint Circle. This work was done by the Town employees and paid for by Mr. E. P. Hall.
A wire fence has been constructed around the Akron pipe at the Town Yard. Heretofore, children playing there broke considerable pipe. The old wire from the fence on High Street was used.

1938 Town Warrant and Recommendations of the Finance Committee
To the Citizens of Andover:
Recommended expenditures, combined with estimated receipts, result in an estimated tax rate of $32.65, an increase of $5.85 per thousand.
After considerable discussion and assuming that it is desirable to keep the tax rate in the vicinity of $30.00 provided it can be done without too much sacrifice, your Finance Committee has withheld its approval of several special article projects of merit, but not in its opinion necessary at this time.
The heavy increases in the various budgets which were sub- mitted were carefully checked and deductions asked for where same in the opinion of the Finance Committee could be allowed. The largest increases we found were due to circumstances over which the town has no control, and established by law. The final restoration of the pay cut is the cause of considerable increase.
The Finance Committee finds each year that from the time the Selectmen's Annual Warrant closed to the time of going to press with the Annual Town Report, viz-Friday 5. p.m. to Monday 5 p.m. is too short for the proper consideration of special articles received late. Therefore we recommend that the warrant be closed one week or two weeks earlier beginning in 1939 giving this extra time for deliberation and getting out final report.
We again wish to thank all departments for their patience, co- operation and help which was rendered to us.
