To the Citizens of Andover:
Deeds, thoughts, feelings - the true measures of a Town's life, no less than that of a man. The extent to which they have meaning and significance in the life of the Town of Andover is a personal judgment. It is a judgment of all of the aspects of a community's life - social, economic, cultural, religious and political.
In dealing with a segment of the political life of our Town, the 1966 Annual Town Report offers to each citizen the tangi- ble means by which criticisms can be made of the manner in which this part of the life of Andover has been conducted. It takes on added significance over reports of previous years for several reasons.
It is being made available directly by mail to the taxpaying families of the Town of Andover.
It is considerably shorter in terms of pages. The detailed minutes of the several Town Meetings are not included in the report. A synopsis of the significant actions taken at the meetings of 1966, however, is included.
It is a pictorial report with emphasis placed on recording the events of the past with pictures and not just words.
Despite these significant differences, there is no way that can be devised to make you read, no less examine, this re- port. It is a legal duty of your town officials to present it to you. Implicit in this requirement is the responsibili- ty of each and every citizen to use it as a basis for judging the effectiveness of town government in the past year.
Your careful consideration of this report is invited as are your comments and suggestions. Without your participation in the conduct of the governmental affairs of the Town of Andover, we are, in fact, compelled to measure time in terms of years, of breaths and of figures on a dial.
Respectfully submitted, Richard J. BOWEN
