The following gravel roads were built during the year by the E.R.A. labor with the truck hire and gravel supplied by the Town : Orchard Street, Holt Street, Rattlesnake Hill Road, Gould Road, Wildwood Road, Vine Street, Stinson Road, Gardner Avenue, Hidden Road, Sunset Rock Road, and sections of Lowell Junction Road and River Street.
The entire lengths of Holt Street, Orchard Street, Carlisle Street, Gardner Avenue, Hidden Road, Stonehedge Road, Hill- side Avenue, and also sections of Wildwood Road, Stinson Road, High Plain Road, Lowell Junction Road, River Street and Mor- ton Street were given a coat of Tarvia B.
The work of shaping up and rolling 1200 feet of gravel base and applying stone and asphalt on River Road was started April 24th and completed the middle of May thus completing contract No. 4484-A commenced in 1933 with the State and County.
In September the work of continuing the building of another stretch of River Road commenced. This work, carried on with State, County and Town funds under contract No. 5195, con- sisted of installing culverts, drainage systems, excavating and covering with gravel from a point in front of the property of Mr. Leon Hardy westerly a distance of 4,250 feet. After this section is covered with stone and sealed approximately 3,400 feet of road will remain to be built to reach the Tewksbury line.
The construction of a two course bituminous macadam road on Salem Street between Highland Road and Holt Street started April 22nd and was completed the latter part of August, with some of the earth excavation and hauling of gravel done by E.R.A. labor and trucks. Tarvia-Lithic sidewalks were constructed on both sides of the road and also grass plots between the sidewalks
176
and the road. The cost not including E.R.A. contributions is as follows:

At a special Town Meeting held December 10th this balance was voted to be used in conjunction with W.P.A. Projects.
Seven hundred and ninety-seven square yards of Tarvia- Lithic sidewalks were built on Summer Street and three hundred and eighty-two square yards were built on Florence Street. The plots between the sidewalks and roads were loamed, seeded and rolled.
On October 25th sidewalk work was started, using funds fur- nished by the State under Chapter 464, Acts of 1935, State Bond Issue, of which the Town of Andover received $4,593.52. Seven- teen hundred and fourteen square yards of Tarvia-Lithic walk were laid on the west side of Main Street from the Post Office Building to the corner of Main and School Streets; four hundred and ninety-four square yards on the east side of Pasho Street; eight hundred square yards on the east side of Washington Ave- nue and eight hundred and fifteen square yards on both sides of Morton Street between School Street and Bartlet Street. The grass plots were loamed ready for seeding next spring. During the construction of the Main Street sidewalk, a drain on Morton Street not connected to the Main Street drain when the block- paving job was done, was connected. This will remedy a bad condition heretofore existing in the Morton Street drainage between Main and School Streets.

SEWER DEPARTMENT
A main sewer line, 310 feet, was installed from Bartlet Street to the new Junior High School, with work done by E.R.A. labor other than engineering, supervision and the construction of a manhole on Bartlet Street.
The sewer main on Salem Street was extended a distance of two hundred and twenty-three feet before the road construction started.
A six-inch sewer main was also installed on Elm Street from the corner of Washington Avenue easterly a distance of 148 feet to the corner of Johnson Road and seven hundred and fifty-eight feet of six-inch sewer main were laid from the corner of Elm Street and Johnson Road along Johnson Road. This work was done by Louis Cyr, contractor, and paid for by Fred Cheever, owner of the property. The Town supervised the work and the contractor paid the cost.
Six applications have been filed for sewer house-services during 1935, making a total of 1118 in use January 1, 1936.

All the sidewalks at the Park were covered with stone dust, and the paddle tennis court at the Ballardvale Playstead built by the E.R.A. was covered with clay and stone dust. Because it was impossible to play football on the Ballardvale Playstead, the Smith & Dove soccer field was marked out so that the Ballardvale Football Team would have a place to play.

and Recommendations of the Finance Committee
To our Fellow Townspeople:
Please note-Recommended expenditures combined with estimated receipts, result in estimated
TAX RATE, $30.20-INCREASE $1.00.
After thorough study of every departmental budget and every special article, and after adjusting the estimate of State and County assessments and receipts from outside sources, your Finance Committee presents recommended expenditures totaling $587,278. 53, an increase over last year of about $7200.00.
The above increase in expenditures combined with an esti- mated loss in net income from outside sources of about $8100.00 gives an estimated tax rate of $30.20, an increase of $1.00 per last year's actual rate.
You will note that the total of all regular departmental budgets is about $7500.00 less than that of last year and recommended special articles, total about $14,700 more.
We believe we have recommended those special articles of most merit, giving due consideration both to the desirability and need of the project and to its fitting in with or as a W.P.A. project.
Additional Special Articles totaling $74,460 net, after our special recommendation on water projects, have not been ap- proved and represent a further increase in your tax rate of all or any part of $4.60, providing you see fit to appropriate funds for them.
We take this opportunity to express our appreciation of the patience and cooperation of every department and individual with whom we worked.
