REPORTS OF TOWN OFFICERS.
REPORT OF TOWN CLERK.
FRANKLIN, February, 1893.
The records of births, marriages and deaths for the year 1892 are, I believe, the most complete for some years, there being fewer omissions than usual. I have procured a new set of records to comply with the late requisitions of law. The old records should be reindexed, as the present indexes are inaccurate.
I would again recommend that a new safe be procured for preservation of records, as the one now used is not fire- proof.
Some of the oldest records are becoming illegible by reason of fading of ink with which they were written. It will soon be necessary, for the preservation of the knowledge therein contained, to copy them or take some means of per- petuating them.
The town could, at a comparatively small expense, have printed a number of copies of records, some of which could be sold to parties desiring the same, or exchanged with other towns having similar copies, and this would make valuable additions to the Public Library. The revenue thus received would assist in defraying the expense of publication, and by this means the records would be preserved beyond any possi- bility of extinction.
The records of towns are each year becoming of greater importance, not only to the historian or geneologist, but in determining disputed questions of settlements, descent of property and similar essential facts. Therefore, this care and preservation are of prime importance.
HENRY E. RUGGLES,
Town Clerk.

SPECIAL POLICE REPORT.
TO THE SELECTMEN OF FRANKLIN :
I received my appointment as a special officer for the suppression of the illegal sale and traffic in intoxicating liquors, in Franklin, last April. Since receiving my appoint- ment I have prosecuted thirty-seven persons-four for illegal keeping, five for disturbing the peace, six for larceny, two for common drunkards, four for assault, three drunks (put on probation), three for breaking and entering, two for illegal driving of horses, two for keeping unlicensed dogs, three for promoting a lottery, one for selling goods without license, one vagrant and one for bastardy.
I feel there is a decided gain in favor of sobriety and good order made in the past year. The selling of cider is still one of the great evils in the way of enforcing the liquor law. There ought to be some way for reaching this kind of business, but the law is such that a man has a right to sell cider, not to be drank on the premises ; but for all that, I think we have as clean a town as there is in the State.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
SILAS W. NICKERSON, Special Police.

There is great need of another engine house, as two of our companies are housed in barns, where there is no chance to dry their hose. We recommend that the unexpended bal- ance be placed in a sinking fund each year for the purpose of providing a suitable place for these companies.

REPORT OF PUBLIC LIBRARY.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE TOWN :
As contemplated in the report of last year, the Library has been rearranged, the books renumbered and catalogued and a new catalogue printed, a work of such magnitude as to require the closing of the Library three months. Through the gener- osity of Hon. Joseph G. Ray three large alcoves have been built, thereby furnishing ample room for books for the next decade and, at the same time, securing greater convenience.
During the year ending January 31, 1893, the Library has been open to the public on Wednesday and Saturday evenings and on Saturday afternoons, excepting the three months it was closed for reorganization.
Number of different persons who have taken out books during the year. 560; number of books drawn, 8114. The Librarian has collected fines to the amount of $15.65; for catalogues and cards, $26.30; total, $41.95. Number of volumes covered, 652, at a cost of $13.04. Expended for books, $385.30. Cost of running the Library-including rent, heat. light, salary of Librarian, repair of books and expense of new catalogue-$729.90.
The Library has received by donation, "Success and its Achievers," "Life of Spurgeon," "Life of Gen. Logan," "Life of Edison, the Electrician," "The Wine Question," "The Nameless Waif," "Hannah More's Works" (7 vols.), "Records of Massachusetts" (6 vols., from Wm. M. Thayer) ; also, "Wood Notes Wild," "The Feast of the Virgins." From H. L. Gordon : "History of Bedford" (in exchange for Franklin History), "Congressional Directory," "Catalogue of North Adams Library," "The Public Libraries of Massa- chusetts," "Protection or Free Trade," "Taxation of Women," "Report of Public Reservations," "Tobacco, Insanity and
16
Nervousness," 14 "Reports" from Chief Signal Office, 5 "Reports" from Bureau of Education, 7 "Consular Reports," "Commercial Relations of the United States," "Manual of General Court of Massachusetts," a year's subscription of "Northwest Magazine," and "Social Economist."
Believing that the time has come to establish a reading room in connection with the Library, the Directors have arranged for it, and the committee have raised two hundred dollars by subscription to cover nearly all the expense. The reading room and library will be open every week day after- noon from two to five o'clock, and evenings from half-past six to nine o'clock. Books can be delivered and returned any time while the room is open to the public.
WILLIAM M. THAYER, (for the Directors).
