The year of 1941 has seen a big improvement in police work over 1940, owing to the installation of the two-way radio. Calls are covered in much less time, and with less expense, as officers can be contacted on the way back to police station when coming in from a previous complaint.
We have organized a class of Emergency Police consisting of 66 men; these men are receiving instruction once a week until they are taught the most important things pertaining to police work. All men are attending class each night when held, and show a lot of interest in the instructions. Sergeant William Hickey and Sergeant David Nicoll who attended the F.B.I. School in Boston for defense work, have handled this class in an able manner.
These men in case of emergency, will be of great help to the regular police in helping to take care of injured, bombings, or any other emergency that may arise during this war.
At this time I want to call your attention to the need of more lights in both Andover, and Shawsheen Squares, at night.
We have had two serious accidents in, or near the Andover Square this past year, the operator of both cars claimed they did not see the pedestrians until too close to avoid hitting them. This I am sure was so, because both cars were going slow at the time of accident.
Respectfully, GEORGE A. DANE, Chief

First, I wish to call to the attention of the people of Andover the fact that we have several very fine clinics for the use of the families in Town. There is the Baby Clinic which is held on the first and third Tuesday of each month at the Andover Guild from three to five o'clock in the afternoon. This clinic has a fine record of achievement in the past and the physician in charge has ex- amined many babies and made wise recommendations for the health of Andover's future citizens. It is hoped that all mothers will avail themselves of this opportunity.
Then there is the clinic which is held shortly after school opens. The purpose of this clinic is to take steps by means of inoculation to prevent diphtheria. All small children should be given this free protection to their health and I urge parents to acquaint them- selves with the facilities of this clinic in behalf of their children.
Again, we have the services of the Chadwick Clinic in a move to check the spread of Tuberculosis. All parents should be willing to give their consent to the examination which is necessary as part of the program of this clinic.
Also, there is the Dog Clinic which is held in the Spring of each year. Bring your canine friend to the clinic to have it inoculated. In doing this you protect your pet and the general public from the dread disease of Rabies.
Let me again remind you that all of these clinics are free and your Board of Health will be pleased to inform you about them.
Many complaints have been received this year about the practise of dumping garbage and refuse upon the side of our high- ways. This practise endangers the health of the community, be- comes an eye-sore, and strong methods will be taken to curb this if it becomes necessary. Let us have a little pride in the health and looks of our Town.
This is a War Period-a period of emergency. It is consistent with good citizenship and patriotism to maintain a healthy town. Anything tending toward an epidemic of any description should be carefully guarded against and your Board of Health will do all in its power to guard against any spread of disease. We respect- fully seek the cooperation of the citizens of Andover.
In closing, all contagious diseases must be reported to your Board of Health. Especially is this true where there is no physician in attendance. Parents or guardians have a duty imposed by law to observe this important law.
Respectfully submitted,
LOTTA M. JOHNSON, R.N.

Milk Inspector's Report
January 1, 1942
To the Andover Board of Health:
As inspector of milk I hereby submit my report for year 1941.
After inspection of all premises and dairy plants the following licenses were granted :
Milk and cream (distributors and other classes) 66
Oleomargarine registrations 5
Pasteurization establishments 8
Wholesale and retail ice cream 9
This resulted in a revenue of $195.50 to the town.
There were 101 samples of milk and 36 samples of cream taken from distributors, stores and other sources tested for butterfat. Four of milk and 10 of cream were found below standard and up to standard on second sample taken few days later. Fifty phosphase tests were made and 5 were positive showing improper pasteuriz- ation. 193 bottles and 18 cans were condemned and destroyed as unfit for use. 16 ice cream mix and five ice cream samples were tested and all passed. In addition to premises inspected for licenses there were 85 pasteurization plant and 62 dairy plants or farms inspected at unexpected intervals with many conditions found requiring correction. On inspection of 34 ice cream cabinets, four were condemned as unfit for future use.
During summer months many conditions were received about milk and cream being off flavor which were corrected by co- operation.
This country is now engaged in a war program presenting many problems to distributors and producers which will be solved in same courageous manner they were solved in dark depression days.
Shortages of sterilization chemicals make it imperative to return all containers as clean as possible. In addition all plants and dairy farms must be kept at a high standard at all times. Shortage of farm labor will make producers' hours longer and it more difficult to produce clean milk and we must be reasonable in enforcing rules.
154
Rising cost of feed and other factors may increase cost of milk and cream again during 1942 but it must be remembered that in preceding war days there were no pasteurization plants and no laws covering various grades of milk, therefore consumer must be expected to pay higher prices when cost of producing milk is in- creased for producer, transportation to milk plant, pasteuriza- tion, bottles broken or not returned, increased cost of caps for bottles and delivery costs. Few people realize the expense of making milk safe and your inspector of milk solicits your co- operation in returning all bottles and having deliveries every other day if necessary in order that milk may be kept as low as possible in price.
Andover is fortunate in having its plants for pasteurizing widely scattered and all but one equipped with refrigeration to keep milk and cream at same temperature at all times. One plant has its own power facilities and can take care of a large territory if conditions warrant. If necessary milk distribution centers can be established in West Andover, Ballardvale, Shawsheen and Andover to take care of needs in any emergency which may arise. All aged and babies requiring good clean milk will be pro- vided for and there will be no shortage for those Andover citizens who need it. Your inspector of milk has several plans in mind which it is hoped will not be necessary at any time.
All licenses expire as required by law and must be renewed on or before that date and at this time thank all citizens who have cooperated in keeping a high standard of cleanliness during the past year.
Respectfully yours, ALFRED C. STACEY,
Inspector of Milk

Report of Tree Warden
January 1, 1942
To the Citizens of Andover :-
Your tree warden hopes that when the present war emergency passes that more citizens will take time to consider the value of our shade trees to the town. Even as a business proposition shade trees are an asset to any town. They beautify our streets, enhance the value of our homes and attract new citizens to build here.
The growing of shade trees on our streets is a long time propo- sition. Only at great expense can large trees be moved in to re- place dead ones. We should take time to consider really taking care of our present valuable trees. With present known methods in the care of shade trees our present valuable trees would, by pruning, bracing, cavity work, fertilizing, watering and other good tree practices, show a wonderful change for the better and be assured of many years of usefulness.
To assist this department in tree work a power winch, mounted on our new truck, would save labor in lowering large limbs out of trees and over wires, loading tree butts and stumps. Such a winch would be of great value in emergencies.
A power roadside mower now costs $1250.00, but would pay for itself in labor saved and provide greater safety to travel by permanently keeping down brush on our roadsides.
Thirty-two new trees were planted last spring, all that could be provided under the present budget. Thirty-eight dead or weak- ened trees were removed during the year, showing a heavy toll from the effects of the hurricane, inroads of disease, and the long continued dry weather.
At present the town has over 15,000 trees on its streets. It ac- cepts new streets each year without providing for new trees, or the care of any trees on these streets, thus the appropriation is spread thinner and thinner each year.
Due to the increased cost of living, high wages in industry, men entering the armed service of our country and the need to retain two experienced tree men in this department, the Tree Warden asks your favorable consideration of an appropriation of $5,500.00.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE R. ABBOTT, Tree Warden

Report of Moth Superintendent
January 1, 1942
Board of Selectmen, Town of Andover
GENTLEMEN :-
During 1941 many kinds of insects gave trouble, but the gypsy moth caterpillar and the elm leaf beetle larvae were the most numerous and destructive.
The woodlands continue to be heavily infested with gypsy moths and this causes a general infestation of trees throughout the town. This fall and winter the Moth Superintendent has received many reports of elm leaf beetles wintering in houses and other buildings. These beetles should be swept up and des- troyed, otherwise they will fly to the elm trees in the spring to feed and lay their eggs.
Two hundred and ninety brown-tail moth nests were found and destroyed. There has been a steady decrease in the number of nests found in the past five years.
The Japanese beetle larvae, a comparatively new insect in town, caused injury to lawns. The beetle itself is very destructive to foliage and the fruit of most kinds of trees, shrubs, and plants. This insect seems destined to cause much injury in the future unless some element interferes with its life.
This Department cooperated with the State Moth Superin- tendent in the collection of 500 gypsy moth caterpillars for in- spection to determine to what extent a parasite was distributed in this town.
The many requests for spraying made it necessary to purchase an extra ton of arsenate of lead. The Moth appropriation was exhausted in early July and several requests for spraying had to be refused. Destruction of the fall web worm nests and the fall creosoting of gypsy moth egg clusters could not be carried out because no extra funds were provided. This will cause extra moth work in 1942.
The Department has an old sprayer of small capacity which should be replaced with a modern sprayer of a capacity for work now demanded for controlling insects on high trees.
159
Due to the increased demand for control of the gypsy moth and the elm leaf beetle, increase in wages, and a reported increase of 30% in the cost of insecticides, I recommend that $5,000 be ap- propriated for control work in the Moth Department.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE R. ABBOTT, Moth Superintendent

Spring Grove Cemetery
The Trustees of Spring Grove Cemetery submit their annual report for the year 1941.
Resolutions on the resignation of Walter E. Curtis, since de- ceased, were adopted and spread on the records for his long and faithful services.
Over 650 feet of new roads have been built and over 2,212 feet of curbing have been laid, 690 feet of same were on the East side of the cemetery.
The entrance road has been resurfaced and a cement walk to the office was laid.
A new retaining wall along the "Old Railroad Path" has been laid, using stones from the undeveloped section of the cemetery.
The easterly section under development for the past several years is nearly completed and there will not be any further outlay for lots for some time.
Perpetual care receipts, sale of lots, interments etc. for the year amounted to $7,220.29 which was turned back to the Town Treasurer out of the appropriation of $9,508.22, the actual amount costing the town for the running of the cemetery was $2,287.93.

Report of the Memorial Hall Librarian
To the Trustees of the Memorial Hall Library:
I herewith present the report of the library for the twelve months ending December 31, 1941.
The past few weeks during which the very pattern of life and thinking in this country has been changed with incredible rapidity may not have seemed the most conducive time in which to review and appraise the 1941 library program. After the first feeling of confusion, we have come to the conclusion that the public library as an essential educational institution can meet-as it has met in the past-the test of critical times. However, we should not be- come complacent but should seek in so far as it is possible to better and to extend library facilities throughout the community. Ten years from now, we hope, the war will be over-the vision which we hold of the future, the effectiveness with which we grasp our opportunities today to serve the building of morale, to serve our national defense program in all its ramifications-will de- termine in no small measure the kind of library which will survive these uncertain times.
