Report of Town Manager
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Andover, Massachusetts:
Submitted herewith is the first annual report under the Selectmen-Manager form of government in Andover. This report covers the calendar year, January 1 through Decem- ber 31, 1959, the fiscal period for town government. The first three months of 1959 were administered under the Selectmen form of government while the remaining period was under the new Town Manager charter government.
Following the 1959 Town Meeting, the Town Manager form of government was inaugurated for Andover. Since that period, your local government organization has gradually been transformed to meet the requirements of the new charter. Many changes in the administration have been made, while, at the same time, the affairs of every day administration and service have been performed without interruption.
The various department reports on the following pages out- line the year's activities by departments and serve to point out the various services and improvements made dur- ing the past year. Very briefly, however, it may be well to note here some of the highlights of the year.
Following through with previous contracts, the Ballardvale Bridge was completed in the fall. The Water Department completed sections of dike construction at Haggetts Pond and installed new water mains on Carmel Road and lower High Street to improve the water flow and pressure to this area of town.
The Memorial Hall Library addition was planned and let to contract on a low bid basis, which will provide a favor- able children's addition to the main library within the appropriated sum of $112, 000. Completion date is set for September 1960.
Negotiations were held with the State and Federal Highway authorities making it possible to have the new proposed Route 495 bridged over High Plain Road. This action to bridge High Plain Road now makes it possible to extend building development beyond High Plain Road to an area that can accommodate a number of new developments.
Land taking operations at Haggetts Pond were reviewed during the year with the Water Department personnel and Town Counsel and it now appears possible to readjust some of the land takings and thereby clear the way for a settle- ment of the property claims at a savings to the town.
57
Several other land takings including land at the Ballard- vale and Abbott well sites have been settled.
The 1960 budget proposed for the current year represents the financial picture that must be maintained to continue efficient town services and make necessary improvements. In developing the program for 1960, every effort has been made to keep the tax rate stable while at the same time appropriating sufficient funds for needed maintenance and improvements. Your department heads and Manager have worked closely with the Finance Committee to account for savings in the work program which would make it possible to keep the tax rate fixed at $26.00 per thousand for 1960. This accomplishment is the result of savings in the 1959 budget, an increase in assessments, and surplus revenue resulting from increased receipts of state aid, federal grants, and surplus transferred from special articles voted in previous years.
The Town Warrant for 1960 includes several major items of importance to our town services and should be given serious consideration in view of the increased growth the town has had to accept in the past few years. Major improvements can be made this coming year if acceptance is given to two bond issues for public works projects. Rogers Brook can be completely reconstructed at a total cost of $195,000 to the town. A major improvement is provided for the town sewer system in requesting a $260,000 bond issue to recon- struct the main trunk sewer line on Route 28, from the pumping station on Riverina Road to Essex Street.
As our community grows, we must anticipate increased de- mands for municipal services and functions and it will be our task to meet these requests at the most economical cost. This can be done with full cooperation and under- standing of the problems by all our citizens.
It has been a pleasure for me to serve you during the past year and a challenge to look to the problems ahead in the 60's. The progress we have made this past year can be at- tributed to the full cooperation and understanding of all our department heads, special boards, and committees and the entire staff of employees, together with the untiring efforts of the Board of Selectmen who gave freely of their time and energy in getting the job done. It is a pleasure to serve with you.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS E. DUFF TOWN MANAGER
