REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Book Committee Newburyport Public Library:
In accordance with the rule which requires that the librarian shall annually "'make and present to the commit- tee on books a detailed and circumstantial report of its [the library ] condition and increase," the following is sub- mitted. The number of books reported belonging to the library November 30, 1905, was 41,806 volumes. There have been added by purchase or gift during the year 1097
166
ANNUAL REPORTS
copies. As worn out and unfit for circulation, 61 were canceled and withdrawn, 16 of which were subsequently renewed. Of lost or missing books 32 have been reported, making the total stock to date 42,826 volumes, as set forth more in detail in the appendix to this report.
Of the 32 books lost, 17 card holders deny they hold, or claim to have returned them, the library records to the contrary notwithstanding; seven have removed from town and cannot be reached, five offer no satisfactory explana- tion and three books were refused reception because of contagious disease in the families of the borrowers.
There are 5,695 registered borrowers, an increase during the year from 5,080. Of these, 780 also hold non-fiction cards, and 47 school teachers are allowed 10 each for draw- ing books to be used in connection with their school work.
There have been forwarded to and returned from the bookbinders during the year 572 volumes, while the usual large number have been repaired at the library. Old books whose usefulness was thus extended accounts for 385 of the above, 159 were magazines or kindred matter, 28 newspapers.
Our files of old papers, particularly the Newburyport Herald, are in constant demand and the wear on such heavy volumes naturally is more marked than would be the case with smaller and lighter books. In febinding I have for some years had these large volumes split into two each, which remedies the difficulty somewhat. The backing now used is of heavy canvas, which seems to have more lasting qualities than the sheepskin formerly in use. I have during the year paid some attention to collating these volumes. Our files are not complete, particularly those of the early 19th century, but in most cases it is only occasional issues which are missing, though there are some runs of considerable length which are wanting.
As a result of purchasing the Morse collection and from various additions of recent years made with that end in view, we have collected what is practically a duplicate file for about 100 years. This collection by vote of the board, has been placed in the custody of the Essex Institute at Salem, which willingly takes charge of them in return for use. The understanding is that the papers shall be cared for and retured at any time this library may call for them,
167

singly or a collection. At present they are in storage awaiting the completion of the institute's new building. Later they will be collated, duplicated lists made, and a paper drawn more formally setting forth the agreement. I need not call attention to the fact that this is a most practical insurance on valuable property, which, if de- stroyed could not be replaced by money, while of course keeping duplicate files under the same roof defeats its very object.
The circulation of books for home reading has been 53,129 volumes, slightly less than for the year preceding when it was the largest in the history of the library. The building was open for this purpose 306 days of the year, the average withdrawal of books being 173 and a fraction. The highest was 421, March 10, the lowest 52, August 23.
During the year the proportion to the whole, of fiction withdrawn, has fallen by about three per cent. There have been less novels taken out, and a larger number of more substantial books. This I think is principally owing to a simple and very practical device. A book rack was placed on the delivery desk, and is kept filled with the latest books other than fiction. It is so conspicuous that it cannot escape the notice of any borrower, who can han- dle freely and "taste" the works offered, and thus many who would not think of calling for anything but the last or some well known popular novel have unobtrusively brought to their attention the fact that there are books as well worthy a perusal as the latest "most popular seller."
From fines, the sale of old paper, and one or two books acknowledged lost and paid for, $24.97 have been collected at the desk, making with the balance last reported $34.72. For postage and box rents $17.71 has been paid, $7.50 for freight or cartage, $1.98 for miscellaneous matters, a total of $27.19, leaving cash on hand $7.23.
As in previous reports I again call attention to the great desirability of a separate room for small children and also for a reference room apart from the main library. The problem of the children is a pressing one and the solution not easy save by a complete separation. Children in the
168
ANNUAL REPORTS
reading room are a constant annoyance to their elders, not alone from their occasional mischievous propensities, but because of restlessness, unnecessary and thoughtless con- fusion, or even by their simple presence. On the other hand it is unpleasant to deny them access to the magazines and illustrated papers on the tables, which however must be done on occasions, as when they come in large numbers during vacations, or on a day when the no-school signal has been sounded. Nearly everyone will agree that it is far better for the future if not the immediate present to fos- ter rather than discourage a budding taste for literature and the intellectual trend, and nearly every library gives great attention to this part of its work.
The cost of making these provisions is small compared with the value sought to be obtained, but if the money is not in sight a small outlay may be almost as formidable as a larger one. I still trust that before another year is ended ways and means may be provided.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN D. PARSONS,
Librarian.

have amounted to $557.43. Of this sum $126.50 was ap- propriated for building a locked case for valuable art books, for mounting local photographic views, bookplates, etc., while $430.93 was paid out for new books. These numbered 202 copies, which added to those previously pur- chased from the income of the Peabody fund for the library make a total of 10,875 copies, or about one-quarter of the books now owned by the library, a very much larger pro- portion of the more valuable and costlier class. There remains available at this date the sum os $424.61.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD. OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
To His Honor the Mayor and the City Council of the City of Newburyport :
GENTLEMEN - The eleventh annual report of the board of water commissioners for the year ending November 30, 1906, is herewith presented.
No new street work, outside the usual service work, has been undertaken this year. Fifty-one (51) applications for services have been received for which forty-five (45) service pipes have been laid, requiring 1823 feet of one inch cement lined pipe.
New boilers and an air compressor, used for pumping the water from the driven wells into the pond, have been installed at the pumping station. Six new wells, varying in depth from 87 to 252 feet, have been put in at the pump- ing station during the year by the Artesian Well & Sup- ply Company, this gives us nine wells in all from which most of our daily supply, at the present time, is secured.
Early spring rains made it possible to allow the use of water for all purposes during the year, but at times the pond has been low and is quite so at the present time.
The following is the pumping report for the year:
December 1905
24, 167,214 gallons
January 1906.
23,440,618 66
February 22,135,565 ..

ANNUAL REPORTS
Pounds of coal used 1,966,925. Daily average 5,338 pounds.
There have been twelve breaks in main pipes and twelve in service pipes during the year.
The financial report of the treasurer is attached. The water receipts do not show the increase they naturally would on account of the charge for the use of hose being omitted on the June payment.
The only indebtedness of your commissioners at the present time is the amount due the city for the December interest on bond and this will be paid at once.
Respectfuliy submitted,
CHARLES A. BLISS, JOHN W. WINDER, LOUIS F. BARTON, TIMOTHY HARRINGTON.
