Boarding Houses for Infants.
The board has examined the premises and approved appli- cations for the following persons to board infants : Mrs. Anna M. Pratt, Swains Pond avenue; Mrs. Clara J. Manley, 335 East Foster street; Mary F. Johnson, 431 Swains Pond avenue; Mary B. Earl, 23 Swains Pond avenue; Lillian A. Russell, 13 Swains Pond avenue; Mrs. Charles A. Trensch, 9 Church street; Mrs. George W. Chapman, 321 East Foster street.
Collection of Garbage.
The collection of garbage during the year has been done by contract by H. W. Pattee of Reading, with the veteran Thomas Higgins in charge of collection. On the whole, the work has been satisfactorily performed.
New Sewers.
It is gratifying to the board that the large number of tene- ment houses in Brazil street have been connected with the public sewer. The board renews the recommendation of last year that that portion of East Foster street east of Larra- bee street should be provided with a public sewer.
Nuisances.

Bakeries.
The regular inspections by the sanitary inspector disclosed conditions in two bakeries that the board could not approve and these faults were promptly remedied.

Milk.
During the year the State Board of Health made an inspection of all the dairies in Melrose and in some of the surrounding towns. About one-half of the dairies were approved. In others certain recommendations as to the care of the cows, general cleanliness, disposal of manure, etc., were made.
In all these dairies this board made inspections and required that the recommendations of the State Board should be adopted as a condition for the sale of the milk in Melrose. This was done under Chapter 8, Section 3, of the regulations
106
CITY OF MELROSE.
of the board, which reads as follows: "The conditions under which every cow is kept whose milk is brought into the city of Melrose, or kept, delivered, distributed, sold or offered for sale in said city shall be made known by the licensee to the Inspector of Milk in such detail as the Board of Health may require and shall be approved by said board; and no milk except that derived from such cow shall be brought, kept, delivered, distributed, sold or offered for sale in said city."
Although much good has been accomplished and the con- ditions under which cows are kept and milk is handled are probably better than ever before, there still remains much to be done.

Report of Inspector of Milk and Vinegar
Melrose, Mass., Jan. 1, 1907.
To the Board of Health, City of Melrose:
The milk question in the city has held its good standard the past year and the 75 samples evaporated gave good results. The only trouble experienced was in lack of cream in some instances, caused by careless handling in the grocery stores. One conviction of a milk man for putting water in his milk resulted in the party being fined at court.
The Melrose milkmen have kept the standard of their milk up in very good shape and less trouble is experienced with them than those from out of town.
The samples of vinegar taken have contained the required amount of acid on their tests.
(Signed)
WILLIAM S. BRIRY, Inspector of Milk and Vinegar.

THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Trustees of the Melrose Public Library
FOR THE YEAR 1906.
To His Honor the Mayor, Eugene H. Moore, and the Honorable Board of Aldermen:
GENTLEMEN :- The trustees of the Melrose Public Library present their report for the year 1906.
Ten meetings of the Board of Trustees have been held with an average attendance of five.
The work of the library shows steady progress. With the exception of Sundays, legal holidays and a half-day each week during the summer vacation of the schools, it has been open for public use seven hours daily throughout the year.
The number of books on the shelves is 16.064 .- 776 hav- ing been added since our last report. Included in this list are many books of travel finely illustrated ; a large addition to the department of history, chosen especially for the use of the schools; 25 books upon the causes, cure and preven- tion of tuberculosis ; the New Library Series of American Authors, comprising the complete works of Emerson, Haw- thorne, Longfellow, Lowell, Whittier and Holmes; a uni- form edition of 80 volumes illustrated with over 500 photo- gravures, and many others of permanent worth; 62,850 books have been issued, the smallest number in any one month being 4513, the largest 6384.
The percentage of fiction has again fallen from 72.84 to 71.4I per cent. The juvenile department shows constant gain; the others remain nearly the same, with again an increase in magazine circulation.
The question of current fiction is a difficult one with all
-
I2I
LIBRARY REPORT.
libraries. The larger part of that published at the present time is worthless, viewed from the standpoint of even con- servative criticism; much is objectionable, much is un- wholesome in tone and subject, and crude in style. The demand for books of a light and entertaining character is larger and should be generously met. How to accom- plish this is a problem recurring with the purchase of each new list of fiction.
Out of 774 novels submitted to the committee of the public library in Boston last year, only 161 were accepted. The policy thus is to confine the purchase of current novels to those of the highest merit judged by a conservative standard, to keep the shelves well supplied with the best English fiction, and to have the worn-out books replaced without delay. Persistence in such a method as this for a few years would doubtless demonstrate its desirability.
The juvenile catalogue has been completed and placed in the children's room. The pictorial bulletins have been continued and two Underwood Stereopticon Tours have been purchased for the use of the grammar schools. This department has large patronage and the assistant librarian reports very gratifying work in connection with school studies. In every community the public library should definitely assist the schools. Here the children learn obedi- ence and order, deference and quiet manners, and form the habit of reading so important in later life.
The Library of Congress cards are used for cataloguing as they are in a majority of libraries in the country. They are not beyond criticism, but are generally satisfactory and in accordance with modern library methods.
The open shelf system, adopted three years ago, has proved its popularity through the manifold advantages af- forded library patrons. It is unfortunate that its privileges have been abused, as each year books have disappeared from the shelves. This seems to be a general misfortune wherever this system has been adopted, and our leading librarians are devoting much time and thought to the prob- lem of reducing the evil. It is a curious one.
I22
CITY OF MELROSE.
Three exhibitions of pictures have been held, by Mr. Arth and Mr. Snell of interesting and artistic photographs, and of water colors by Mr. Durrell. We again acknowl- edge our indebtedness to Mrs. Charles C. Barry for the continuance of the exhibits of the Library Art Club which have afforded so much enjoyment and instruction during the year. The fund in process of accumulation for the Mary A. Livermore Art Library has been increased, with promise of speedy completion. The cabinet of the Faneuil Hall Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, has been filled with successive exhibits of articles of historic and Revolutionary interest, adding materially to the attrac- tiveness of the historic and art room. A valuable colored print of Faneuil Hall framed in historic wood has been permanently loaned to the library.
We gratefully acknowledge the reception of several gifts. From Miss Charles, two valuable framed photographs for the children's room, George Washington and the National Capitol ; a photograph of Mr. John Larrabee from friends; a pastel picture of Charles Sumner from Mrs. Gates, and from another friend an oil portrait of a "Lady of 1830" and a "Bambino" by Andrea Della Robbia; from Mr. C. N. Chapin fifteen volumes upon subjects of theological inter- est, and from other friends nine single volumes. A dona- tion of twenty-five dollars has been received, to be called in accordance with the wish of the donor, the Hyman Peternoff Fund, and to be devoted to the purchase of books on science.
The work of the library will be greatly facilitated by the addition of one more person to our staff of assistants. It seems to be indispensable. In no library of its size, patron- age and circulation in the State, as nearly as can be ascer- tained, are so few employed to accomplish the work. An increase in the salary of our cataloguer, making it more nearly what similar positions command, is only just recog- nition of competent service. The library building has been efficiently cared for by the janitor, but repairs are needed which must be provided for by special appropriation.
123
LIBRARY REPORT.
We therefore ask as desirable and necessary for the continued support of the Public Library the sum of $3375, the dog tax and the unexpended balances of last year's appropriations.
