The ambulance answered 797 calls for service Firemen battle Howard Johnson's fire in blizzard. of which 81 were for non-resident use. 73 non- residents were billed $10. 00 each for this service and 8 non-residents were billed $25. 00 for trips which involved transportation to Boston hospitals, making a total of $930. 00 which was paid to the Town Treasurer.
FIRE PREVENTION: Fuel oil installation permits and inspections of installations totaled 257. Fees were collected for 159 permits for the storage of oil at 50ยข each, making a total of $79. 50 which was turned over to the Town Treasurer. 33 Liquified Petroleum Gas Installations were inspected and approved according to State Regulations. 44 Permits for the use of dynamite were issued in accord- ance with State Statutes and Regulations for the protection of the public.
Approximately 4, 700 permits were issued for open air fires when weather conditions warran- ted. Over 900 inspections including public schools, private schools, mercantile, industrial and multiple dwelling buildings of which we are cognizant, were carried out to the extent provided by law and in each instance a report was sent to the owners, occupants and proper authorities concerning the conditions existing at the time of inspection. Recommendations and remedial action were sugges- ted or ordered according to law for the safety of the public.
56 Fire Drills required by State regulations were carried out and witnessed in public and pri- vate schools during 1963.
Nursing homes, rest homes and hospitals were inspected quarterly as required by State Statutes and results sent to management and the State Department of Public Health. Personal notifi- cation by in-service companies was made to all mercantile establishments concerning the use of flammable decorations in stores and places of assembly.
Copies of rules and regulations promulgated by the Board of Fire Prevention Rules and Regu- lations of the Department of Public Safety were sent to authorities of schools throughout town explain- ing their responsibilities for the planning and operation of an evacuation system for use during fire drills or other emergencies requiring the evacuation of students and employees of a school building.
Persons in charge, or owners, of gasoline service stations, garages, repair shops or places where gasoline is being used or dispensed for sale were advised regarding the requirements of State regulations concerning smoking in or about such areas.

Again this year, an inspector gave a class on Fire Prevention and action that should be taken in case of fire to the Baby Sitters' Class held in the Junior High School.
The cooperation of the Building, Wiring, Gas and Health Inspectors of the Town adds im - measurably to the success of the Fire Department's fire prevention activities.
PERSONNEL: There are 40 permanent members and a call force of 5 members in the Fire Depart- ment. Permanent members work 48 hours every week since last March when the voters favored this work week.
APPARATUS: The Central Fire Station garages two pumpers, an aerial ladder, forest fire truck, ambulance, Chief's car, rescue boat and trailer, a fire alarm maintenance trailer and a Jeep utility pick-up truck.
The Ballardvale Station garages one pumper, a rescue boat and trailer, and a 1937 reserve pumper used for fill-in purposes if other pumpers are out of service for any reason.
Our aerial ladder truck (1940) will be 25 years old next year and by rating standards will be at its limit for receiving credit. Rating Bureau practices usually give credit for an aerial up to 25 years and for pumping units up to 20 years service. We have a 1945 500-gallon per minute pumping unit in Ballardvale which will reach the 20 year point by next year. Both units have been included in one capital expenditure outlay study which the town paid for, plus the replacement of the Forest Fire truck which was scheduled for last year. This year's budget as presented to the Town Manager will again include the replacement of that vehicle.
FIRE ALARM: Replacement of out-dated street boxes at the rate of 6 per year is still in progress and the time is approaching when all street boxes belonging to the Town will be of the type which afford ground return signals in the event of broken circuits due to storms or accidents. The out-date (1887) main fire alarm panel and other Central Station equipment (rewired in 1924 for alternating current) is definitely in need of replacement and an item in the 1965 Fire Department budget for this work will appear for action. The work, which is required in connection with the construction of Route 495 and which is reimbursable, is awaiting the final bridge and road completion before we can replace our system in this section of town. Public schools and St. Augustine's Parochial School are connected to our system by automatic detection devices withing the buildings which, when properly working and maintained, will signal a condition of fire, thereby tripping the master fire alarm box on the buildings sending us an automatic alarm of fire for that location. It is hoped that the new Pike School will com - plete their installation and tie in with our system in the same manner.
More industrial operations are protecting their property by supervising sprinkler systems or detection systems in the same manner.
We maintain in the vicinity of 50 miles of aerial wiring and 12 miles of underground cable.
A section of underground cable between Shawsheen Village and the Wood Estate on North Main Street must be replaced this year due to conditions beyond our control which cause a continual grounding of that circuit and the resulting possibility of faulty operation due to ground water throughout this area.
BUILDINGS: The Central Fire Station will be surveyed professionally for suggestions in connection with alleviating a floor condition which increases with time. A cement cover which was poured over an old wooden floor (horse-and-carriage flooring) is continually moving due to the weight of present day vehicles. This cement cover is full of open cracks and is breaking up in sections. The conti- nuous washing and wetting of this floor and the resulting seepage certainly must be taking its toll in structural efficiency. It is hoped that some answer can be obtained to this problem. This building will receive a complete painting on the interior by on-duty members during 1964. The Ballardvale station will also be painted by on-duty members and it is hoped that bids can be obtained during the coming year for the repair and exterior painting of this building.
62
Should the relocation of the Police Department become a reality, it is hoped that a separate inter-communication system or private line telephone can be installed between the Fire Department and the Police Department at the time so that the cooperative operations which exist now during am- bulance and fire emergencies can be continued.
CONCLUSION: I wish to thank the Town Manager and the various departments of the town for their cooperation during the year. I should also like to thank the members of the Fire Department for their cooperation and efficient performance of their duties.
HENRY L. HILTON, Chief Andover Fire Department
Civil Defense Agency
The following items have been or are being completed:
IN COMMUNICATIONS - The control center is now completed in the Town Hall basement and has already been in active service. Three new mobile units have been added to the existing net of radio facilities, making a total of 33 available units in an emergency. A new G-50 Base Transceiver has been installed and is now in operation at the Town Hall. In addition, the Raytheon Manufacturing Company has purchased a new radio for tie-in communications with the RACES group. The Red Cross has purchased a similar unit in order to be in communication with the Civil Defense authori- ties. The Communications group, under the direction of Mr. Alex Ritchie, is meeting, as in the past, on a weekly basis. This unit has been used several times during the past year and is on a Ready Stand-By basis. The Auxiliary Police Unit, under the direction of Mr. Winston Briggs, has, as of the first of the year, donated to the Town of Andover, some 4150 man hours. This unit meets on a monthly basis and is on a Ready Stand-By Basis. The Auxiliary Fire Department is being or- ganized by the previous Civil Defense Director, Lee Noyes. Chief Hilton has offered this unit a vehicle for training purposes. This unit will be in operation sometime in 1964. The Hospital Unit, now in storage, has been checked and brought up to date. The Rescue Unit vehicle is now stored under cover on the Shaw Estate Property. The unit now numbers 17 and is on a regular training schedule.
The Fall-Out Shelter program, in accordance with Phase 2, has been completed. This gives the town 24, 000 useable spaces. In addition, spaces have been stocked with 24, 000 units of supplies, One unit gives one person 14 days of water, food, medical supplies and sanitation supplies. A list of the buildings and their stockings will be made available sometime during the month of February 1964.
I wish to thank the above groups and Col. Joseph Cove, 15 Rock Ridge Road, Mrs. Peter O'Connor, 51 Magnolia Avenue, and Miss Alice Dunn, teacher at West School for making this past year a success in Civil Defense.

Tree, Moth And Dutch Elm Depts.
Topping Diseased Elm with Aerial Ladder
During 1963 the Tree Department planted 145 shade and flowering ornamental trees alond Andover's streets. Due to sum- mer drought conditions these newly planted trees were watered several times and mulched.
A used 28 foot aerial ladder was purchased, reconditioned by department men and mounted on the newly purchased pickup truck. This piece of equipment has proven satisfactory since being put in service.
Dutch Elm disease was diagnosed in 84 public elms during 1963. Seventy-two of these have been cut down and burned at the town dump. The remaining diseased trees will be removed prior to March and the emergence of elm bark beetles which are known carriers of Dutch Elm disease from diseased to healthy trees.
The Department of Natural Resources assisted in Dutch Elm scouting and removal of 45 diseased and dead elms. Over 130 elms were removed this year.
A telescopic crane and skyworker were used in topping 15 hazardous trees over wires. This project was performed by co- ^nerative effort of the New England Tel. & Tel. Co., Massachusetts lectric Co. and the Andover Tree Department.
A shade tree spray program designed to protect Andover's trees from destructive insects and diseases was completed. Ap- proved application methods and insecticides were used. Use of D. D. T. in spray formulas was discontinued. Four men from the Tree Department have attended State courses designed to qualify them as licensed spray equipment operators.
Regular Department work of pruning, cabling, bark tracing, utility wire clearance super - vision and inspection was continued. Roadside mowing, brush cutting and chemical brush control was done. Poison ivy control was carried out along roadsides, at playgrounds, Pomps Pond bath- ing area and Camp Olympia.
Tree Department personnel worked during all snow and ice storms, salting, sanding and plowing streets and sidewalks.

Planning Board
Although the proposed Urban Renewal program for Andover was decisively defeated at Town Meeting, study and debate and decision concerning its many facets and implications occupied much of the Planning Board's time prior to its submission to the voters. The Board held the re- quired public hearings on zoning changes connected with Urban Renewal.
Extensive revision of the Rules and Regulations governing subdivision in Andover, begun in 1962, was finally adopted in April of 1963.
To the Board's extreme regret, Mr. Jack Schoop left Adams, Howard and Greeley to become City Planner for Anchorage, Alaska. His last service to the Board included reports on Andover's so-called "cluster" zoning and an evaluation of the report of the Moderator-appointed committee's report, "Green Areas in Andover, Gain or Loss". The report on the last-named evaluation inclu- ded an analysis of the Massachusetts law concerning so-called Official Map, recommended in the "Green Areas" report, but never seriously considered for Andover because of the expense involved. Andover is indeed fortunate that Adams, Howard and Greeley had available a 1963 graduate of M. I. T. Planning School, Mr. Gordon Brigham, who has rendered outstanding service to Andover through- out the year. Under a new arrangement, with funds provided with Finance Committee approval, Mr. Brigham has spent one day a week in Andover and has regularly attended Planning Board meetings.
In order to augment planning funds, the Board decided to apply for a so-called 701 grant from the federal government, to undertake revision and refinement of the now partially obsolete 1957 Development Plan for Andover. Final approval of this program has not yet (as of January 10th) been received from Washington but Mr. Brigham, with the supervision and assistance of Pro- fessor Frederick Adams, has begun this important work and will continue to carry it forward du- ring 1964. Among other things, Mr. Brigham will analyze population trends, circulation, the impact of new Route 495, present land use, developable land, land acquisition, current zoning for commer- cial and industrial areas and will recommend the needed changes.
During 1963, the Planning Board has regularly sent a member, usually Chairman Harold T. King, to all Board of Appeals' hearings. Among the difficult problems before the Board of Appeals, which also directly concerned the Planning Board, was the Collins case on Florence Street, final disposition of which has not been decided as of this writing. The dispute hinged on uncertainty re- garding the precise boundary between Business District and Single Residence District, which has led the Planning Board to undertake a complete description of all such business-residential bounda - ries in the Town, together with a new map of the business areas, based on the 1957 Town Assessors' Maps.
Since last April, the Planning Board has met for numerous extra sessions with the By-Law Revision Committee to complete the complex task of revising the format of the Zoning By-Law. Much of Mr. Brigham's time, since September, has been spent on this work. Because of its com- plexities and extent, the Planning Board and By-Law Revision Committee, together with the Select- men, have decided to present this format revision, plus a number of urgent substantive changes for separate consideration at a Special Town Meeting scheduled for May, 1964. Most of these proposed changes are related to the updating of the Development Plan.
