The dedicatory exercises were held on Friday, April 15, and were most interesting to the large number of our citizens and invited guests that filled the lower floor of the building.
Addresses were given by the mayor, the Hon. Sidney H. Buttrick, by the governor, the Hon. John L. Bates, by the Hon. John Larrabee, chairman of the Building Committee, by Mr. Charles C. Barry, chairman of the Board of Trustees, and by Mrs. Mary A. Livermore. An ode written by Julius S. Clark, M.D., was sung, and Mr. Sam Walter Foss read an original poem.
The spring sunshine filled the place with light, bringing out most beautifully the scheme of color employed in the finish

of the rooms, and was most happily typical of the illuminat- ing years which shall mark the future life of our library in its permanent home.
On the following Memorial Day, the two bronze tablets engraved with the names of the two hundred and four Melrose soldiers who served in the Civil War, were unveiled with appro- priate ceremonies, Mr. Elbridge H. Goss giving the oration. They are placed on either side of the stairway near the entrance and bear this inscription: "This Tablet is placed here by the People of Melrose, in grateful Memory of the valor and patriot- ism of those citizens who served on land and on sea to the credit of the Town of Melrose, in the War for the Preservation of the Union, 1861-1865."
A change in the location of the library has heretofore occa- sioned a falling off in the number of books issued, but this has not proved true of our last removal. The Librarian's list gives the number of volumes issued in 1904 as 50,631. In 1903 the number was 62,029. In considering the state- ment it should be remembered that the Highlands Branch Station which took 2,363 volumes, has been discontinued, and that during the current year the library has been open 244 days, against 297 the previous year. The average daily circulation has been 207, which for the 53 days would have made the total issue greater than that of last year.
The percentage of fiction has dropped from 77.95 to 76.07. The department of literature and essays has doubled its per- centage. Science and art is 4.44 against 3.57 last year, and there has been a large increase in the circulation of magazines. There is little change in the other departments.
The increased facilities for comfortable and undisturbed read- ing have apparently been appreciated, as evidenced by the large number of persons using our reading room. The children's room has had a corresponding patronage, and we hope in time our young people will become still better acquainted with its attractive and instructive contents, its reading matter suited to their age and tastes, and its reference books for use in their studies.
The open-shelf system which permits personal selection from the stack room and is in use in many libraries, was in- troduced with the opening of the new building. This has been appreciated by our patrons, and in many, perhaps in most cases of disappointment in finding a book "out" has resulted in an equally satisfactory selection suggested by seeing the book on the shelves. It however occasions much more labor for the Librarian and her assistants in keeping the shelves in order and the books each in its proper place.
The thousand volumes presented by the late Daniel W. Gooch, stored for many years for lack of room, have been
86
CITY OF MELROSE
placed in a room in the basement called the Gooch Library. These books record Congressional action during the Civil War and the years immediately following that event and are of much value.
Our library has received many generous gifts during the year for which we are very grateful.
From Mr. W. A. Carrie the Young Folks' Library for the children's room, twenty-one volumes. From Miss Mary L. Charles twelve books illustrating different departments of art; and from fifteen other friends single books which are noted in the Librarian's report. We have also received many courtesies in the exchange of library reports.
From Mrs. Geo. A. Wills a pair of andirons for the fireplace in our reading room; from the Choral Chaminade Society ferns and plants; from Mr. and Mrs. Cutter an orange tree, and from Mrs. Moses Page a rubber plant, which add much to the attractiveness of our historic and art room. Mrs. Ellen K. Hudson has given two large engravings, and Mr. Edward J. Lord a fine picture of "'Grant, Sherman and Sheridan."
We have been honored with the custody of the sword pre- sented to Admiral Dyer by the city of Baltimore, in recognition of his services in the battle of Manila Bay, and we have just received the permanent loan of the sword of the late Clark B. Baldwin, Colonel of the First Massachusetts Regiment in the Civil War.
Through the generous thoughtfulness of Mrs. Charles C. Barry our library has been presented with a year's membership in the Library Art Club, which provides monthly exhibits of most valuable and interesting photographs illustrating masterpieces of art, scenes and places of historical interest, and valuable and carefully selected views of foreign countries.
The Library of Sacred Art to be presented by the Woman's Club, in honor of Mrs. Livermore, has about five hundred and fifty dollars of the desired sum with prospect of completing the amount during the present year.
The sum expended in replacing and rebinding books has again been large. In a list of five hundred volumes only about half were retained as desirable. Many had lived their brief season of favor, and are apparently forgotten by our reading public; many, particularly those relating to scientific research on various subjects, are replaced by newer and better works.
It is difficult to find durable work in the binding of books and this necessitates almost constant repair. Some of our libra- ries are sending to England for more substantial editions of standard books; there is a little advance in first cost, but it will doubtless prove a measure of economy in the end.
87
LIBRARY REPORT.
We welcome suggestions for new books and are always glad to comply with them as far as possible. The great majority of the community read to be rested and entertained and so there is always a demand for light fiction. This demand we aim to supply by the novels of the day which entertain and amuse. If to this simple qualification we add purity of style, a wholesome atmosphere of thought, skill in the delineation of character, imaginary portrayal of historic events, and occasionally a small plot, we nearly cover the range of present- day fiction. The so-called "problem novel" dealing mainly with very dark and deplorable phases of character, or with criminal or immoral conditions surely has no place on the shelves of a public library.
One new bulletin has been issued during the year containing 550 titles.
Our card catalogue system has been revised and extended.
Pictorial bulletins for the children's room prepared by our assistant librarian and changed each month, have added much to the attractiveness and educational advantages of this department of our work.
We wish to express our appreciation of the faithful, courte- ous and unselfish service of the Librarian and her corps of assistants; and of the satisfactory care of the building by the janitor.
In anticipating the needs of another year we cannot ask smaller appropriation if the work of the library is to be con- tinued in a progressive manner. Longer hours and more labor call for an increase in salaries which is only just. Books are no longer subject to the discount formerly allowed library purchasers. Heat and light require a much larger sum than ever before.
We need a cabinet for our historic and art room where the valuable gifts which have come and may come to us, may be safely and suitably kept.
We therefore ask for the following year an appropriation of the sum of thirty-five hundred dollars ($3500), and the dog-tax, as necessary for the requirements of the Public Library:

Chief of Police.
AMBULANCE REPORT FOR 1904.
February 1st, 1905.
The ambulance still proves to be a great benefit to our citi- zens. The last year there were one hundred calls inside our city limits, that means three hundred officers have responded to the calls. Sixty-two more calls than in 1903, only five dol- lars and seventy-five cents has been paid for assistance in handling the calls. The rest has been done by the regular officers. There has been received for the use of the ambulance the last year $45.00 and there has been paid $28.15 for ex- penses, leaving a balance of $16.85, which has been turned over to the city treasurer.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK M. MCLAUGHLIN,
Chief of Police.
Report of Chief Engineer of Fire Department.
MELROSE, MASS., February 1, 1905.
To His Honor the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen.
GENTLEMEN :- I have the honor to submit to you the Annual Report of the Fire Department of the City of Melrose for the year ending January 31, 1905.
FORCE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
Consists of chief engineer, first and second assistants, seven permanent men, forty-four call men. Of the permanent men, one is an electrician and two are licensed engineers.
FIRE STATIONS.
The central station has been put in good repair the past year on the inside. The woodwork on the outside will have to be painted the present year.
Considerable repairs have been made on Hose 3 house, and it is in fair repair. A new two-door house should be built in that section of the city in the near future. Hose 4 house has been put in good repair inside, but the outside needs painting. As I recommended last year, I still think the City should build a fire station on the west side of B. M. R. R. at Wyoming for Hose two. The City is growing and new school houses are wanted. The fire department should be kept up to date with the rest of the City.
APPARATUS OF THE DEPARTMENT.
Consists of one Clapp & Jones steam fire engine one hook and ladder truck, four hose wagons, one fire alarm wagon, one coal wagon, two pungs, two sleds with reels, ten hand extin- guishers in good condition. We need a chemical engine, which would save the water loss we now have at small fires.
HORSES.
There are nine horses in the department. One had to be sold on account of lameness. The horses are all in good con-
99
FIRE REPORT.
dition. For the horse sold we received $135.00, which was paid to the city treasurer. There will need to be one horse bought as it takes ten horses for the apparatus.
HOSE.
Amount of good hose. 6,650 ft.
Amount of poor hose. 450 ft.
Four hundred feet poor hose sold to Public Works Depart- ment the past year. There should be $400.00 appropriated for hose the present year.
Value of fire alarm system. $16,750.00
Value personal property.
11,806. 50
FIRE ALARM.
This department is in good condition. The most of the troubles we have are caused by wires not belonging to the fire department. The line on Lebanon street from Malden line to Beech avenue should be placed on north and east side of street. The poles are in bad condition. The line on Melrose street from Tremont to Main streets, should be put on south side of street out of the trees. Locate one pole on Upham street op- posite School street, replace pole on Beech avenue, corner Harvard street. These changes must be made soon, either at the expense of the City or some interested companies, as these changes are necessary to carry out needed improvements.
FIRES.
The department answered ninety-five alarms of fire the past year ending December 31, 1904; fifty-one bell alarms; thirty- nine still alarms, five second alarms. 23,500 feet of hose laid 176 charges of chemical; 1,516 feet of ladders used the past year.
Value of buildings and contents endangered by fire, $110,450.0 Damage to buildings and contents. 26,909.92
Insurance on buildings and contents. 91,500.00 Insurance paid on buildings and contents. 26,009.92
Total loss on buildings and contents. 900.00
The prompt service of the department has kept the loss to this small amount.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH EDWARDS,
Chief Engineer.
