REPORT ON FOLLANSBEE FUND.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUT- NAM AND ATKINSON FUNDS.
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Newburyport :
GENTLEMEN :- The committee on Atkinson and Putnam school funds, to whom was referred the annual statements of trustees of said funds, would present the following statements relative to said trust funds that may be of interest to the citizens of this city :
ATKINSON SCHOOL FUND.
The investments of the fund, as per report of the treasurer, are as follows :
20 shares Merchants National Bank stock.
7 shares Ocean National Bank stock.
Deposited in Savings Institution, $1,489.21.
Three rights in common pasture.
10 acres salt marsh in town of Salisbury.
No changes in the fund from the previous year except a slight increase in the Savings Institution deposit amounting to $63.03.
It appears by said report that an evening school has been main- tained during the year in ward six for forty evenings, at an expense for teachers and incidentals of $89.19.
It further appears that the board of trustees are careful of their trust and through their management the fund is slowly but gradual- ly increasing.
PUTNAM FREE SCHOOL FUND.
By the schedule of investments on the first of May, 1886, as per the treasurer's report, the fund in the hands of the trustees amounted to $52,939, exclusive of land, buildings and furnishings, in the following classes of securities :
Notes secured by mortgages $12,325 00
Railroad and bank stocks, &c. ยท 10,701 00
Bonds 18,500 00

Total as above

REPORT ON BROMFIELD FUND.
The financial condition of this fund appears to be in a satisfacto- ry condition. Its application at the present time appears to be equally satisfactory. The recent arrangement entered into between the trustees of the fund and the city council of the city, with the hearty approval of the school committee, is evidently proving satis- factory to all parties interested, and the youth of this city and vi- cinity are reaping the benefits as intended by the donor of the fund.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE BROMFIELD FUND.
To His Honor the Mayor and Board of Aldermen :
GENTLEMEN :- The standing committee of your board to whom was assigned the duty of expending the income of the Bromfield fund have attended to their duty and respectfully present the fol- lowing report :
The principle of the fund, ten thousand dollars ($10,000), is in- vested in the Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Co., the in- come payable annually in the month of January.

REPORT OF FOLLANSBEE FUND.
.
Your committee deemed it advisable to expend all the income that under the provisions of the bequest could be used for such purpose, in removing from the trees the large number of broken limbs which were occasioned by the severe ice storm of the early part of the year, so that no new trees have been planted. The present condition of the shade trees show that another year's in- come would be advisable before any more trees be set out. The proper care of those already planted would add more to the beauty of our city than the indiscriminate setting of trees with the judg- ment that is usually shown in such matters.
The will of John Bromfield directs that one-half the income of said fund shall be expended in keeping " the sidewalks in good order," in compliance with this wish of the donor your committee has directed the expenditure of two hundred dollars ($200) in lay- ing down brick sidewalks and edgestones, thus making a perma- nent improvement and adding much to the "pleasure and comfort of the inhabitants," as the late Mr. Bromfield in his will directs.
Your committee would recommend that in order in the future to carry out the wishes of the testator that as liberal terms be made in the matter of sidewalks and edgestones as the financies of the city will permit.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. R. JOHNSON, Chairman.

DIRECTORS' REPORT.
To His Honor, the Mayor, and City Council of Newburyport :
GENTLEMEN: The Directors of the Public Library submit the thirty-first annual report of their body to your consideration.
During the year now closing the Public Library has continued its beneficient work among us by affording to young and old access to the literary treasures of the past, and the greater number of the best contemporary works. Although the fund at our disposal for the pur- chase of books is not large, we are usually able to place upon the shelves of our library every work of superior merit or commanding interest soon after its appear- ance. Our deficiency is most marked in popular fiction and in works suitable for the young. Many of these are rapidly worn out, and we find it difficult to replace them with the desired promptitude, as well as to add to their number.
The past year has not been signalized by any re- markable events in the history of our library, and we therefore refer you to the various reports which fol- low, including that of the librarian and the committees having in charge the various funds and duties. Ap-

pended to these will be found a list of the gifts to the library during the year, including books, pamphlets, portraits, maps and curiosities; also a catalogue of all the additions made to the library by purchase.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

LIBRARIANS REPORT.
To the Committee on Library :
GENTLEMEN: By a requirement of the Rules and Regulations of the Public Library it is made incum- bent upon the librarian, annually to present to the committee on library, "a detailed and circumstantial report of its condition and increase during the year."
In accordance with that requirement the following statement is respectfully submitted :
The recent annual examination of the library was conducted with much care and faithfulness so as to learn the actual condition of the books. Upon the conclusion of the examination, it was found that with the exception of the department of fiction, the books in the other portions of the library were in an excellent condition. Two books only have been lost during the year.
The number of books in the library at the examina- tion last year was 23,282. The number added the present year is 551.
The Peabody Fund supplied 266
The Sawyer Fund supplied - 83
The Bradbury Fund supplied - 51
The Frothingham Fund supplied

PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORTS.
Sixty-seven worn out volumes have been discarded from the shelves, and the same number have been substituted from the additions of the present year to fill their places. By deducting the number of discarded volumes, and also the same number from the additions that were used to supply the vacant places, together with the two lost volumes, it will be found that the library now contains 23,767 volumes.
The affairs of the library have, during the past year, been conducted in the same general way that has hitherto met with acceptance. While disseminating its varied stores of wholesome entertainment and use- ful information, the library has pursued its wonted course, quietly, yet, we may hope, none the less effect- ively.
Written catalogues of the accessions have been pre- pared as the books were placed on the shelves, in order that readers may readily have access to the newest pub- lications. It may also be worth considering whether, in view of the fact that many people cannot conven- iently come to the library to consult such catalogues, it would not be advisable to issue quarterly printed bulletins of the additions, for circulation. A small charge might be made for such, to assist in paying the expense of printing.
The growing importance of the reference depart- ment will justify a renewal of the suggestion hereto- fore made relative to completing the broken sets of magazines and reviews now on the shelves, as well as adding complete sets of such as the library does not now possess. The Public Library is the only source to which our citizens can have access for ob-

taining special information in any extended line of study and investigation, consequently the larger the list of accepted authorities which the reference depart- ment may contain, the more will its value and import- ance be appreciated in the community.
The Peabody Fund has recently supplied a copy of Bradley's Atlas of the World, prepared expressly for commercial and library use. Being arranged on a large scale and containing a full index pointing to the exact localities on the various maps, with its statistical tables and other information relative to the political and physical geography of the entire civilized world brought down to the present date. This work will prove an invaluable addition to the reference depart- ment of the library.
A catalogue of the additions to the library for the year has been prepared, and will be ready to be printed with the annual report.
Three hundred and fifty-six new applications have been recorded by persons desirous of availing them- selves of the privileges of the library during the year. The total number of persons who have thus entered their names since the establishment of the library, is sixteen thousand five hundred and twenty-four.

PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORTS.
THE PEABODY FUND.
Mr. George Peabody, when he established a fund for the benefit of the Public Library, desired that an annual statement of its condition should be published. This statement is now made in accordance therewith.
The present treasurer received from Mr. Peabody, nearly twenty years ago, fifteen thousand dollars, which was at once deposited in the Institution for Savings, where it still is, subject to withdrawal only upon the order of a majority of the Board of Trustees, who administer it.
At the close of the last financial year $239.94 remained of unexpended interest, and since, from the same source, $600, all of which has been spent except $239, in the purchase of books, many of which were somewhat costly, but essential to the usefulness of the library.
The accounts of the receipts and disbursements have always been examined from year to year, and certificate duly recorded of their correctness.
In answer to inquiry, it may not be amiss to state in what way the library became the recipient of Mr. Peabody's generosity.
Having spent a portion of his early life here, he asked my opinion, as the son of an old friend, as to the best disposition of $15,000, which he designed to give Newburyport, as a testimonial of his regard, and at once acceded to the suggestion for the benefit of the Public Library, requesting that a letter should be sent to him at Salem, comprising suitable stipulations, with the names of a few gentlemen to administer the trust.
Upon its receipt, he immediately returned the letter signed, with check enclosed for $15,000, the interest upon which has been the means whereby five thousand volumes have been added to the library.

PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORTS.
THE BUILDING FUND.
TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY :
It was provided in the gift of the Public Library Building to the city that an annual statement should be made to the Directors of the condition of the unexpended portion of the money contributed, the income of which, or if need be, the principal, being designed to keep the building in repair, and this report is now made in conformity with the terms of the conveyance.
It may be of interest to recall that the original subscriptions amounted to $44,000, all of which was expended in the purchase of the land and the prep_ aration of the building for the library, except the sum of $5000, deposited in the Institution for Savings, subject to withdrawal only upon the written order of all the members of the trust. The interest, since the original deposit, has largely exceded in amount the principal, all of which has, from time to time, been expended in repairs and improvements, except $123.89 now on hand and the principal of $5000, as before stated.
No bills are known to be outstanding against the fund.
The account of receipts and disbursements has always been regularly au- dited.

PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORTS.
THE TODD FUND.
The reading room continues to be, in all respects, a gratifying success. Miss Lunt, our excellent superintendent, reports that "the attendance during the past year has been larger than ever before, and the benefit and pleasure derived from the perusal of the periodicals and papers seem to be thoroughly appreciated."
There still remains a great deficiency in reference books and atlases, to which attention is again called with the hope that some generous benefactor of the reading room will remove it. The Todd Fund has contributed fifty unbound volumes to the library the past year.
And finally we would add that a growing appreciation of Mr. Todd's generous benefaction is made annually more apparent.
