The above work constitutes the major part of work done in this Department.
A number of trees in the Park blown over during the wind storm were cut up and removed.
A section of the stone wall in the Park that had fallen over was reset and pointed.
The Douglas Fir planted a few years ago in the Park was straightened after it had been tipped over by the wind.
There has been public agitation regarding the purchase of portable bleachers for the playstead. On the strength of this, the Board of Public Works has investigated the cost of bleachers
210
with a seating capacity of one thousand persons and also the cost of the construction of a building to store same.
To provide for adequate Park Maintenance for 1939, we recommend an appropriation of $4,724.00 to be divided as follows:

1939 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 $31.90, an increase of $2.90 per thousand.
In approving the B.P.W. budget appropriations we have set the amounts, believing that the town will approve Article 15. If Article 15 is not carried in the affirmative, then a revision of the budget of these departments will be necessary.
Your Finance Committee has withheld its approval of several special articles of merit in order to hold the tax rate as near $30.00 as possible.
The various budgets were carefully checked and deductions asked for where the Committee felt could be allowed. It is very evident that the transfer from free cash to the Assessors this year will be nowhere near the amount transferred last year which reduced the tax rate about $2.00.
We wish to thank all departments for their patience, coopera- tion and help which was rendered to us.
