Report of the Overseers of the Poor.
MELROSE, January 31, 1904.
To His Honor the Mayor and the Honorable Board of Aldermen, City of Melrose :
GENTLEMEN : The Board of Overseers of the Poor respect- fully submit their fourth annual report, it being for the year ending January 31, 1904. The number of calls on our department has been less than last year, owing, we presume, to the scarcity and high price of fuel in 1902. Work has been quite plenty this winter, caused by the unusually large fall of snow, but the extreme cold has made the demand upon our department quite heavy.
The large item of expense in our department that caused the deficiency for 1903 was $4,151.03 for the care of the insane, an increase over 1902 expenditures of $1,515.72. This unfortunate class of people is one over which this board has no control as they are committed by the courts, and if unable to defray the expense themselves and no rela- tives can be found who are legally responsible, the city is obliged to pay if the settlement is in Melrose.
The institution located on the Pratt Farm remains under the charge of Mrs. C. L. Chandler as matron and it is a pleasure to the members of this board to hear on every side from those who have visited the Farm the splendid condi- tion in which they find the house, and also from the inmates themselves of the motherly care they receive from the matron.
The Pratt Farm has been in charge of Mr. H. W. Chandler for the past year and the receipts from the sale of produce exceed those of the year 1902.
It is the earnest request of this board that the Honorable Board of Aldermen seriously consider the appointment of a city physician as suggested by His Honor the Mayor in his
228
CITY OF MELROSE
inaugural. We are fully convinced that the appointment of a city physician would be a great help to our department and the people aided by us, as well as a saving of several hundred dollars to the city.
For detailed statement of number aided, where settled, cost of maintenance at Pratt Farm, receipts and expendi- tures, we refer you to the annexed tables.

THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TRUSTEES OF THE MELROSE PUBLIC LIBRARY
FOR THE YEAR 1903.
The Trustees of the Melrose Public Library respectfully present their report for the year 1903. The work has been conducted in accordance with lines followed in previous years and presents few notable features. We have endeav- ored to meet all reasonable wishes of our citizens in pur- · chasing new books, and have given special attention to the rebinding of books, the condition of many of our heavier volumes demanding this care which has been delayed on account of lack of funds. The figures given in the Libra- rian's report, which includes the twelve months preceding January 1, 1904, do not show all the work done as the books were kept in use until late in the year, but were withdrawn and sent to the binder's after that date, but within the finan- cial year. We have been exacting in regard to workman- ship, and hope that the volumes used in the reading-room will not require further attention for several years, but in view of the quality of binding of books now published, we must spend a large sum each year for rebinding and replac- ing worn books. The demand for French and German books has exceeded our expectations and fully justifies their purchase. Many of our High School graduates have found in them a grateful opportunity to continue their study of these languages, and the selection has been approved by more advanced students. Our circulation has varied little from that of the preceding year. There is a slight reduc- tion of less than 125. There were, however, over a thou- sand fewer books of fiction issued while every other depart-

ment shows an increase. This indicates that private circu- lating libraries, of which there are several in our city, have affected our circulation and the general result is satisfac- tory as we do not aim to meet an unlimited demand for new fiction.
Our attempt to maintain a branch at the Highlands has not been successful. The patronage has fallen off one third the past year. So few books are now delivered there that the cost per book to the library is increased greatly, and it is evident the arrangement by which exchanges have been made twice each week does not give satisfaction. As the central library will now be a little nearer that part of the city, and equally farther removed from sections to the East and South, it seems wise to discontinue this branch. At some future time it may be practicable to establish branches in each quarter of the city, but this would require larger appropriation and is not now demanded.
The spread of contagious diseases through the handling of library books is a subject to which we have given much thought. The employees of our library are instructed to use vigilance to prevent the reissue of books which might be the source of danger, but further precautions than we can take without the co-operation of the Board of Health are necessary. As a plan we proposed met with formal ap- proval but has not been followed, we shall be glad to join with these officers in adopting this or any method that will give protection to the public.
We have received many gifts the entire list of which ap- pears in the Librarian's report. The books from the library of the late Mr. Samuel E. Sewall and those by the Rev. Daniel P. Livermore have an additional value as mementoes of honored citizens. "The Historie Book," presented by Captain Folsom of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co., is a handsome volume of special interest,-the eight volumes of " Builders of Great Britain," received from Mr. Thomas D. Lockwood, give much information, - many others merit further mention,- all are gratefully received and will repay examination by our citizens.
The Treasurer's statement shows the condition of all

funds held by us. The policy we have followed of allow- ing interest on these to accumulate will enable us at this time to make purchases demanded by the enlargement of our rooms for which our regular appropriation would be in- sufficient. Each reading-room must be supplied with many reference books which are of an expensive class and the cost of an enlargement of our card-catalogue must be met.
For several years the reports of Library Trustees pre- sented appeal for increased accommodations which would require a new building. For the past two years we have expressed our pleasure in the prospect of the fulfilment of our desires. Now that we are on the eve of removal some presentation of our plans and hopes for the future of the library seems desirable.
The open-shelf system which allows card-holders free ac- cess to the stack-room and opportunity to choose books by examination has been tried and approved in many cities and we purpose to introduce this system, not to the exclusion of our present use of application slips, but in addition to it. We believe the disappointment frequently expressed at fail- ure to secure one of the newest publications will give place to a happy recognition of the wide range of excellent read- ing our library affords, as many books from which pleasure and profit may be derived will be brought to notice.
The change of location may cause a temporary reduction of our circulation. It will not be as convenient as formerly to drop in and exchange books whenever one is near the business section of our city, nor can one pass in a few steps from the street cars to the delivery-room, but we are con- vinced our people will not long forego the enjoyment of privileges to which they have become accustomed.
We believe the advantages of our reading-room will be more fully utilized than in the past. The disturbance caused by the passing of cars and heavy wagons, and the annoy- ance resulting from the restlessness and occasional mischiev- ousness of some of our younger visitors will not be experi- enced, and although there may be a loss in numbers re- ported, there will be increase in the comfort of those at- tending, and the freedom from interruption will ensure the

presence of attentive readers. The seclusion of the refer- ence-room will further meet the needs of students. Books will be sent here on application and can be studied at leis- ure. To afford greater facilities the trustee room may be used as an annex when necessary and consultation among those mutually interested in any subject will be made pos- sible.
The room intended for the use of young people will be supplied with suitable reading matter and with reference books. Later, as our means shall permit, educational fea- tures now commonly included in library work will be intro- duced. We can make no definite announcement concerning these at present, nor can we state with certainty the use to which the only remaining large room in the building will be devoted. We wish to arrange for occasional exhibitions of photographs and other pictures, and desire also to form a permanent museum of articles of historic interest. We hope our citizens individually and the many societies of our city will contribute to secure this result. Already rumors of kind intentions reach us and we welcome such indica- tions of interest felt, and shall welcome any gifts which may be of value from their associations or because of artis- tic merit.
In considering the needs of the library for the coming year we find retrenchment in some departments will be im- possible. We must have intelligent service and the build- ing with its interests must be cared for, therefore the item for salaries must be increased. Rent will be required for a very brief period. The allowance already made for re- moval will probably be available when needed. Heating and lighting will be costly, but necessary. To reduce sum spent for general expenses will necessitate purchasing fewer books, or library hours must be shortened. The public would complain if either of these courses should be adopted. To continue our work, therefore, on the economic basis sug- gested in the inaugural address of his Honor the Mayor, we ask for the unexpended amount for removal, and for $3,000 and the dog tax, to be used for the following pur- poses: For removal, $200; janitor and his utensils, $500;

salaries of library employees, $1,200; new books and maga- zines, $1,000; rebinding and replacing worn books, $600; library supplies and printing, $200; rent for one month, $100; fuel, light and water, $500.
We wish to express our gratification at the liberal allow- ance made for furnishing the new building, and our appre- ciation of the interest shown by the committee on Public Library, and working only for the benefit of the public, we trust we may receive continued and generous support.
Respectfully submitted,
