In the Nevins, Stillman and Page cases it is to be noted that notwith- standing the fact that the damages which they claim are very large that the liability of the City is limited by Statute to four thousand ($4,000.00) dollars in each case.
I have recommended for the last few years a complete revision of the Municipal Ordinances and the regulations of the different departments.

ANNUAL REPORT OF WATER DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Newburyport.
Gentlemen :
The Board of Water Commissioners herewith present their thirty-first annual report for the year ending December 18th, 1926.
Continuing the work commenced in 1922; the four inch cement lined pipe in Orange Street has been replaced with twelve inch cast iron pipe, this pipe was also extended through Federal Street to Milk Street giving us a continuous twelve inch line from State Street to this point. A new hydrant was installed midway of Orange Street. It is our intention to continue this pipe through Milk Street as funds are available.
Inn Street has been entirely re-laid with eight inch cast iron pipe, a hydrant added near Market Square, and all the service pipes re-laid.
The balance of the two inch pipe in High Street, Newbury, has been re-laid with eight inch cast iron pipe and all the side streets connected with this pipe.
Working in connection with the Trustees of Moseley Woods, two hydrants have been set in the woods as a protection against forest fires.
No new trees have been set out, but considerable work has been done in clearing the woods of underbrush and undesirable trees. The fence on both sides of our right of way from Spofford Street to the woods has been entirely rebuilt.
A new storage building, containing a garage, has been built at the Pumping Station to take the place of a building burned some time ago.
The following are the pumping records for the year:

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
To the Mayor and City Council :-
Gentlemen :- During the past year the Board has listened to commun- ications from representatives of the South End Reading Room Association, both in writing, and orally, through committees, said association asking that it be taken over as a branch of the Newburyport Public Library and man- aged as such. The committee of this board charged with investigating the merits of the case unanimously recommended the acceptance of the pro- posal, but inasmuch as certain property rights are involved, as well as trust funds of that institution, it was further recommended by the com- mittee that this proposal be sent to the City Council for its action. The re- port was accepted by the Board of Directors, its recommendations adopted, and the whole matter is now in the hands of your honorable body.
Your attention is invited to the 71st annual report of "the condition of the library," as shown in the accompanying papers, the Librarian's report, those of special committees attached to this Board, tabulated statements, etc., which are hereby forwarded as constituting, with their approval, the Directors' report.

PUBLIC LIBRARY
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Directors of the Public Library :-
The 71st report of the Librarian, the 36th which I personally have made, is herewith submitted. The previous year closed with a total of 61,263 books catalogued. Since that date 918 new volumes have been add- ed, the cancellations of worn-out books being 94, leaving a net of 62,087 at the present time.
The circulation of volumes for home reading during the past year, has amounted to 53,068, to which should be added, credited to one circulation at least, 128 new books which have been deposited with the South End Reading Room and the Fiske Memorial Library. There have also been giv- en to the library recently established in Byfield, from this institution 122 duplicate volumes.
There are at present listed 7811 qualified borrowers of books to take from the building, an increase of 707 during the year. Of this number 1437 have a second or non-fiction cards, and 46 teachers are allowed to take out at one time an indefinite number of books to be used professionally.
During the same time there have been sent to the bindery 249 books which it was impossible to suitably repair among the many hundreds which are annually kept in fair condition at home, and 39 volumes of magazines from the Reading Room, to reappear as new books for general circulation.
In this connection it may be stated that very many if not the most of the new books as they come from the publishers' houses can scarcely be considered as "permanently bound" when received. They sort of stand midway between the European custom of offering nearly all books simply bound in paper, unless otherwise ordered, and the modern American system, which must have originated among a few far-seeing bookbinders, of order- ing popular books in sheets just as they come from the press, binding them more securely, "reinforced" as they are known, and then gradually branch- ing out as booksellers as well as binders, and offering such books to the trade. Of course they cost a little more, but with the usual discount given to libraries, the cost is about the same as the price advertised by the pub- lishers. They are well worth the increased cost, and it will be noticed that many of the books added yearly to this library are in such format. Of course this means somewhat less in number each year, but I believe it pays, and unless otherwise ordered shall continue this system.
The Library has been open for the circulation of books 305 days during the year, and the number withdrawn has varied greatly, from 362 on a fine
168
ANNUAL REPORT
mid-Winter day in February, down to 51 in the same month, probably a blustering, snowstormy day. The Reading Room was open to readers every day during the year, on Sundays from 1 to 6 o'clock, and on holidays during the morning hours. The keeping open the Reading Room during part of the day Sundays, now in operation for several years, has proven of the greatest success. It is freely used, as many as 111 readers being counted there on a single day during the past year, and even that does not consti- tute the record. It would doubtless be of great service to the community if the general library was also open Sundays, but unfortunately that can never be accomplished, according to one of the three terms laid down by the orig- inal donors or organizers of this institution, and accepted by the city.
The Superintendent of the Reading Room is also called upon to serve as the Reference Librarian, particularly in the service of students, mostly from the High School. Year by year this institution is more closely identi- fied with the general educational system of the city among the young, and frequently the entire time of this assistant, especially in the afternoon, is taken up in furnishing information to and in aiding these young people, who are often present in large numbers and insistent on obtaining the latest and most condensed information on the particular subjects which they may be looking up. But this is only one of the formerly uncalled for duties which the modern library has to be prepared for.
In closing, it gives me great pleasure in bringing to your attention the general enthusiasm, efficiency and co-operation which every member of the staff brings to her work.
Respectfully submitted.
JOHN D. PARSONS.
