Board of Public Welfare
The Board of Public Welfare submits the following report for the year 1954.
Under the Old Age Assistance program we added twenty- four cases to our rolls during 1954, and dropped thirty-nine, through death or other causes. We had thirty-two applica- tions, seven of which were found to be ineligible. On January 1, 1954, we had one hundred and seventy-four cases and at the close of the year, one hundred and fifty-nine. Benefits under the Social Security Law have once more been increas- ed, which enables more people to be independent. However, many do not receive sufficient income and must apply for pu- blic aid through Old Age Assistance. During 1954, we collect- ed $6,903.71 under the Lien Law on Real Estate. This law is proving very successful throughout the state.
Our Aid to Dependent Children form of assistance has shown another drop during 1954, but throughout the state there has been a steady increase in the number of cases and in the expenditures. At the start of the year we were aiding twelve cases and at the close of the year, nine cases were being aided.
Disability Assistance has remained about the same this year as last, although we have had some very expensive hos- pital cases. This form of assistance is almost entirely for medical care.
We have had more applications for assistance under the . General Relief program from the unemployed, but the si- tuation is not nearly as acute as had been anticipated. Our expenditures were a little larger than last year, and until some of the neighboring mills reopen we will have several more cases who have used up all their unemployment benefits.
126
At this time, we wish to thank all citizens and private or- ganizations who have assisted our department and contri- buted to the welfare of our citizens.

Report of Trustees of Spring Grove Cemetery
The Trustees of Spring Grove Cemetery submit their an- nual Report for the Year of 1954.
During the year there were 19 lots sold and 76 intern- ments made. Following the established policy all lots sold were placed under perpetual care.
The sum of $2,799.00 for new lots and $600.00 for care of three old lots was paid to the Town Treasurer for use in the Perpetual Care funds. We wish especially to call to attention of lot owners who do not have perpetual care that this per- manent protection can be secured by them for amount of $200.00 The income from Perpetual Care funds during the year was $2,757.87. This compares very favorably with the sum of $1,320.00 received from this fund in 1940.
The total receipts from all sources, including sale of lots, internments, vaults, annual care, etc., amounted to $7,133.26 during the year. This with the income from Perpetual Care investments made a total of $9,891.13 received by the Ceme- tery in 1954.
We completed 480 feet of permanent black top road on the West side of the Cemetery. Other special work planned was not done due to time required to repair the damage done by the hurricane. While many of our roads were badly washed out no damage was done to any of our permanent black top road. The economic wisdom of this construction was definite- ly proven.
A start has been made toward a road across the railroad cut connecting the East and West sides of the Cemetery.
128
Waste material is being used as much as possible to reduce the expense. When completed this will be found a great con- venience by all lot owners. We are also planning an addition to the present garage. Most of this work can be done by our own employees and its cost accordingly kept quite low.
On August 17th, the Chairman of the Board, Frank R. Petty, died very suddenly. Mr. Petty had been Chairman for fourteen years and the present appearance of the Cemetery is to a great degree the result of his efforts. A suitable reso- lution of our feelings as Trustees, working with him, have been spread upon our records.

Office of Veterans' Service
This is our eleventh annual report on Veterans' Services and Rehabilitation. Today, young men and women are leav- ing for service in our armed forces and returning home as veterans constantly, just as they were during the first year this office opened in 1944. Veterans, returning to civilian life now, and, until such time as Congress or a Presidential Order officially ends the Korean Campaign, will be entitled to numerous G. I. privileges and many veteran benefits on a national and also state level.
The number of conferences involving paper work totalled 2,425 during 1954. The cases in the main categories of Ve- terans' Benefits were: Korean Bonus applications - 248; Photostatic copies of discharges and documents - 439 ; Pen- sions - 125; Medical and Dental cases - 117; Education and Training - 117; Employment - 138; Hospitalization - 82; Allotments and Allowances - 167 ; Housing - 42 ; and all other benefits - 839.
During the year, 8 veterans died : 7 World War I veterans and 1 World War II veteran.
Money spent on financial assistance to veterans and their dependents under Chapter 115, General Laws of Massachu- setts, is shared equally by the Town of Andover and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Periodically during the year the Commonwealth reimburses our town for one-half of all money spent on direct aid. Local and State Officials fully realize there will be a steady increase in assistance re- quested as the veteran class with their dependent families, including parents, becomes larger.
Spotty employment and hospitalization are two factors which have a very definite effect on our annual budget and
130
they are very difficult to estimate as they cannot be foreseen. Increased Social Security, Compex ..... tions and Pensions ef- fective in November of this year relieved our burden to some degree.
We wish to thank all veteran organizations, the Red Cross Chapter, and all local charitable organizations for their ever ready cooperation and support. Their efforts are deeply appreciated.
Respectfully submitted.

Sixth Annual Report of the Andover Housing Authority
Nineteen hundred and fifty four was the fourth full year of occupancy of the Andover Project 200-1.
This was an eventful one for the Authority to the extent that there was a great deal of repairs, from two hurricanes and the annual repairs that were done. The storms caused damage to the roofs, storm doors, and two ceilings. These re- pairs were done in a very short time with help from within the project, which we were very glad to get.
The outside trim doors, railings and street light standards were painted, also screens for all cellar windows were fur- nished. Boiler No. two was relined and small repairs to Boil- er No. one will make this lining last one more year.
One of the most interesting problems this year was to find some area for a small playground. After talking this matter over with town officials permission was granted to use town land adjacent to the project for this purpose. A gate was cut through the fence for access to the land. A small group of tenants banded together and with help from the Authority a playground was furnished with swings, teeter boards and a slide. With more help from everyone it is hoped that this area can be improved this coming year.
There was a turnover of nine families in the Project in the year 1954. Most of the families leaving the project bought or built homes of their own in Andover. There are 56 units in the project with an average rent of $37.00 plus utilities. At present we have 4 needy applicants with applications on file for two and three bedroom units and more applicants are needed.
The payment to the Town of Andover in lieu of taxes for the year 1953 was $1,876.00.
The members of the Andover Housing Authority as of December 31, 1954 are Franklin K. Haggerty, Chairman;
132
Garrett Burke, Vice Chairman; Thomas R. Wallace, Trea- surer; George Noury, Ass't. Treasurer; Charles G. Hatch, Secretary ; Ernest N. Hall, Executive Director and Project Secretary ; James E. Manning, Manager.
A balance sheet and statement of operations for the month period ending December 31st is attached.

Planning Board Report
The Planning Board has this first year (operating under Chapter 41, G.L., Sections 81-A to 81-GG inclusive) acted upon the following petitions.
January 21 and February 18-Public Hearings were held relative to a proposed amendmenet of Paragraph 1 of Section IX of the Zoning By-Laws relative to increasing lot sizes in Andover. Proposed change approved by majority of the Planning Board.
February 18- Public hearing relative to a proposed amendment of Paragraph 2 of Section X of the Zoning By- Laws having to do with removal of earth whereby said para- graph would be repealed and replaced with a proposed im- proved paragraph. Proposed change approved unanimously by the Planning Board.
February 25-Public hearing was held for plan of land of Carl Stevens located on Summer Street for the purpose of a subdivision and the opening for public use a private way as shown thereon. This Public Hearing was held prior to the adoption of the new Subdivision Law. It was decided at that time to wait until the new law had been approved. Finally on November 1st the Planning Board was advised that the Board of Appeals refused to grant approval of this plan.
The Planning Board refused to sign a plan of a re-subdi- vision of a Land Court plan previously approved by the Board and known as Haggetts Plains. This was refused be- cause it showed lots with frontages of less than 75 feet. This was again brought before the Board on April 5, and it was taken under advisement to be discussed with Town Counsel
138
as to the legality of signing the plan. Town Counsel stated that the Board could, in its discretion, approve said plan if the change in their opinion would benefit the town. Plan was signed as approved.
March 5-Public Hearing was held for Alexander H. Henderson for plan of land located north of Central Street and east of Henderson Avenue for a subdivision and the opening for public use of a private way. This was later ap- proved with the provision that Mr. Henderson furnish the Board with his personal bond in writing to complete the utilities required.
March 6-It was voted to adapt a set of "Rules and Re- gulations Governing the Subdivision of Land of Andover, Mass.," on March 6. These were adopted as of March 9 in anticipation of the Town Meeting accepting Section 81A- 81K-81GG of Chapter 41 G. L. and were to be effective on and after March 9, 1954.
April 5-At a regular meeting, Miss Miriam Putnam and Mr. Arthur Reynolds met with the Planning Board relative to enlarging the Memorial Hall Library. There were two special meetings on September 20 and December 13 relative to this matter.
