Board of Public Welfare
The Board of Public Welfare submits the following report for the year 1955.
Under the Old Age Assistance program we added twenty- four cases to our rolls, and dropped thirty-five. We had thirty-five applications, eleven of which were found to be ineligible. On January 1, 1955, we had one hundred and fifty-nine cases and at the close of the year, one hundred and forty-eight. There has been a steady drop in our case load since 1951, when we had a peak load of one hundred and eighty-five, and we feel this drop is due to the lien law which was passed in 1951, enabling the town to recover aid ren- dered persons owning real estate. However, the increasing hospital and individual costs are offsetting the case load reduction.
During the year, the legislature passed a bill allowing $2.50 per month travel allowance to every recipient of Old Age Assistance who is not confined to bed. This allowance was effective as of January 1, 1956.
Our Aid to Dependent Children program has remained about the same for the past two years. Early in 1955, we were aiding nine cases, but by the end of the year we had only eight cases on our rolls.
The cost of Disability Assistance has been lower this year, as we did not have so much hospitalization, and the case load of six cases has remained steady all the year.
General Relief costs have been lower as there has been steady employment, although the family man between 55 and 65 years of age finds difficulty in obtaining work. This form of relief is influenced heavily by the rate of employment, which is good at the present time.
154
At this time, we wish to thank all citizens and private organizations who have assisted our department and con- tributed 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 1955.
During the year we had 64 internments and sold 20 new lots. We turned over to the Town Treasurer a total of $10275 as receipts for this period. Of this amount $3789 was to be added to the Perpetual care funds, $1200 of this coming from the placing of six more of the old lots under care and the balance from the sales of new lots. Receipts from in- ternments, sale of lots, vaults, monument foundations and other services we furnish totaled $3450. We also had income from our perpetual care and other trust funds amounting to $3010 which the town received. There is a total of $118,593 in care of the Treasurer for these various funds.
A great amount of damage was done to our shade trees by the 1954 hurricane. All that was possible in the way of restoration of these was done during the spring by outside contractors. The cost of this was paid for by the State. Many
of our trees were totally destroyed and the life of others re- duced. A replacement program to take care of this loss is now being worked upon.
During the year water extensions totalling 1680 feet were laid and another 420 feet of permanent black top road added. By the use of waste material and with some purchased fill a good start on the road connecting the two sides of the cemetery was made. All of the above are big jobs on which a little is being done each year. By having all required labor done by our own men we will eventually complete them at a very low cost to the town.
156
An article has been put in the Town Warrant asking for the replacement of one of our power lawn mowers. The machine now being used is 20 years old and the necessary repairs to keep it in use make it advisable to buy a new one.

Office of Veterans' Service
The Office of Veterans' Services submits the following report on Veterans' Aid and Rehabilitation for the year 1955.
For the past twelve consecutive years and continuing thru 1956, our number of veterans has and will steadily increase as our local young men and women return from service in the Armed Forces. These returning veterans all report to this office for application for the State Bonus and many other Federal and State Veteran Benefits. All have dependents, including parents, wives, and children, and these dependents are also entitled to apply for many benefits, if in need. For this reason, the demands on this office for ser- vice and financial assistance will grow and grow each year.
During the year many conferences and interviews are held with veterans and their dependents. A record is kept only of the number of cases requiring paper work and the following summary is worthy of note. The main categories of cases and the case load was: Photostatic copies 190; Pensions 144; Vital Statistics 142; Bonus Applications 127; Allotments and Allowances 118; Hospital cases 80; Medical cases 88; Dental Cases 23; Insurance 57; Veteran Benefits 59; Employment 57; Education and Training 77; Housing applications 38; Taxes 38; and 430 Miscellaneous cases of a diversified nature.
This year, the calls for hospital and medical care were higher than in any previous year and the rising cost of drugs and medication made it necessary for this office to request an additional $2,000.00 to finish the year. Widows of World War I and aged parents of veterans are reaching the time in life when hospitalization and rest home care are necessary and it appears that our obligations in these two fields will be even greater than ever from now on.
158
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts reimburses the Town of Andover for one-half of all money spent for direct aid to Veterans and their Dependents and this aid covers Food, Rent, Clothing, Utilities, Room and Board, Hospital and Rest Home Care, Nurses, Burials for indigent cases, Physicians, Dental Care, Glasses, Hearing Aids, etc. To be eligible, however, for Veterans' Benefits, a veteran or a de- pendent must be both worthy and in need.
During the year, six dependent parents receiving aid have died. The veteran deaths numbered 22, including 1 Spanish War; 9 World War I; 10 World War II; and 2 British War Veterans.
Employment has been good and the requests for aid to the veterans themselves were not too great. This was offset, however, by the definite increase in widows and dependent parents who applied for assistance and who, in most cases, are between 60 and 65 years of age and not yet eligible for Social Security. Therefore, they must seek aid under Chap- ter #115 of the General Laws of Massachusetts under which this office operates.
We wish to thank all local veteran organizations, the Red Cross Chapter, all local charitable organizations, the State Investigators and Veterans Administration representatives who have all given our office ready cooperation and support. For their efforts, we are deeply grateful.

Patriotic Holiday Committee
For several years, appropriations for the observance of Memorial Day and Armistice Day have been made at the annual town meetings. These appropriations were spent by a committee appointed by the Board of Selectmen from the membership of all local veteran organizations.
Last year, the name of Armistice Day was changed na- tionally to Veterans Day with emphasis on making the newly named holiday one of wider recognition of the Veterans of All Wars. The past three Memorial Day Committees have made note of the rising cost of individual pots of flowers for over 560 veteran graves and with the rise in price came a reduction in the variety of flowers. It was voted last year that the individual pots of flowers be discontinued and in lieu of these that grave flags be placed on all veteran graves on the two above mentioned days. This was done at an an- nual saving of over $560.00.
The Veteran committees also voted to combine the ob- servance of Memorial Day and Veterans Day with Flag Day and Armed Forces Day and ask for one appropriation to cover the four observances. The name of the committee was established as the Andover Patriotic Committee with the chief aim in mind being to bring our fellow townspeople's at- tention to the fact that these days are set aside to be recog- nized by all American citizens and not just the veterans. It has been a sad sight to march along our Andover streets and see hundreds of citizens who do not even take their hats off as the colors pass by. If the annual Memorial Day Parade and Service is to continue, more citizen groups and veterans will have to participate. The graves will always be respected by the veterans, but it is very discouraging to see fewer and fewer citizens partake in this annual memorial service.
It appears that Veterans Day will take on a new aspect within the next few years and the celebration of the day will be more elaborate than in past years.
160
This year, Flag Day was observed by giving each child in the lower grades a small pin flag and the teachers spoke on the meaning of Flag Day and the significance of the flag and what it represents.
Veterans Day was celebrated with all local organizations joining in one service and for the first year, the observance was very successful.
Armed Forces Day brings to our town contingents from all branches of our military personnel with equipment and instruction pamphlets pertaining to various pieces of ord- nance and other military apparatus.
The Patriotic Holiday Committee hopes that our fellow townsmen will fully appreciate the fact that our town ap- propriates money for the proper observance of these national holidays; that the Board of Selectmen appoints a committee to carry out the plans for these days; but, that the success of their observance depends upon the cooperation of our citizens. We are all American citizens and are proud of our heritage and, therefore, should be proud to manifest our patriotism by participation in and appreciation of Memorial Day, Flag Day, Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day.

Seventh Annual Report of the Andover Housing Authority
Nineteen hundred and fifty-five was the fifth full year of occupancy of the Andover Housing Project 200-1.
This year the Authority had more or less routine repairs and maintenance of buildings and grounds. The grounds were improved with new hot top work done on sidewalks and well traveled areas. Hot top sidewalks were put from Memorial Circle to the Authority office and one from the Circle to the play area. Storm damage this year was small, with three cellars flooded in the August storm. The drain lines were repaired to take care of this. It is hoped this year that there can be four new maple trees secured to replace ones that have died. As the project gets older there is more repair work that has to be done.
There was a turn-over of fifteen apartments in 1955 and two families were moved to larger apartments. Of the fifteen families that moved from the project, 11 bought new homes, three moved out of town and one moved to an apartment in town. There are at present 120 children in the 56 apart- ments of the project.
There are applications on file from four needy families at present and more applicants expected.

Board of Appeals Report
To the Board of Selectmen :-
The Board of Appeals under the Zoning By-Law of the Town of Andover has the following members: James S. Eastham, Chairman, term expiring May 1, 1958; Hugh Bullock, Secretary, term expiring May 1, 1956; Edward P. Hall, term expiring May 1, 1957; and three associate mem- bers, Leon A. Field, Richard K. Gordon and Walter C. Tom- linson, terms expiring May 1, 1956.
The Board suffered a great loss during the year in the death on May 10 of Mr. Roy E. Hardy, a member of the Board from the time of the adoption of the Andover Zoning By-Law in 1936 and its Secretary for many years. Mr. Hugh Bullock was appointed in his place on June 10th, 1955.
The Board wishes to express its appreciation to Mrs. Harry W. Hayward, Clerk to Board of Assessors for her invaluable help in carrying on the administrative work of the Board of Appeals. Without her assistance it would have been difficult if not impossible for the Board to carry on its duties, particularly during a year when nearly four times as many cases were heard and decided as in the average of the last ten years. This increase in the number of cases was due to the amendment to the Zoning Law requiring a permit from the Board of Appeals for the removal for sale of sand and gravel in all parts of the town. There were 29 of these sand and gravel cases, exactly half of the 58 cases decided.
During the year 1955, the twentieth year of the Zoning By-Law, the Board decided fifty-eight cases as follows:
Petition of Arthur T. O'Hara, decided on January 3, for a variance to permit the conveyance as one lot of two exist- ing lots on the northwest side of Lincoln Street Granted
