Report of the Building Inspector
Quincy, Mass., January 1, 1910.
To His Honor, Mayor of the City of Quincy :
In compliance with your request I herewith submit the third report of the building department.
There has been a marked improvement the past year in the construction of new buildings to be used as dwellings and cottages, owing to the extensive revision of the building laws which now include the whole city. The third district, which comprises the territory of Houghs Neck, Squantum and Ger- mantown, being, previous to April 16, 1909, exempt from all rules of the building ordinance. Building operations have been more prominent in the central and northerly end of the city, the remaining sections being very quiet. The outlook for the coming year seems to be much brighter for these sec- tions. There has been an increase in building operations over that of 1908, of thirty per cent. which compares very favora- bly with the neighboring towns and cities.
The rapid increase of duties now imposed on the Inspeet- or of Buildings make it imperative that he should have some means of transportation other than the electric cars; as he is called to all parts of the city and also to devote a portion of his time to office work. I therefore recommend that the City Coun- cil authorize the purchase of a horse for the use of this de- partment.

Thomas Crane Public Library
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
To His Honor the Mayor of the City of Quincy :-
The Trustees of the Thomas Crane Public Library here- with tender their annual report, it being the 39th of the whole series since the establishment of the library.
The affairs of the library indicate a steady increase in circulation and influence, as may be seen from the very ade- quate report of the Librarian.
The extensive changes in the building are more than mak- ing good the promise expected of them. The increased use of the reading room is evident at any time, since the library is now open in the morning as well as afternoon and evening. The figures given by the Librarian show a large registration of new borrowers during the past year.
The work of the children's room could hardly be better with its present small supply of books. It is hoped that this deficiency will be corrected as much as possible during the coming year.
The work of the library can be extended in many direc- tions, but the demand for larger supplies must first be met. The reason is easily seen. Through the generosity of Mr. Crane the plant is doubled. Also the expense for maintenance and administration is necessarily increased. The library is much larger, entailing more workers. The call for new books on all sorts of subjects is greater than ever before. People are reading more than ever. And, what is a most vital con- sideration, the price of books has increased from 25 to 50 per cent. in the last ten years. The Trustees desire to make the library worthy the princely generosity of its donor.
The Trustees in closing can only thank the Librarian for her untiring efforts in bringing the library to its present con- dition of efficiency.
Respectfully submitted, For the Trustees,
E. C. BUTLER, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
QUINCY, MASS., January 1, 1910. To the Trustees of the Thomas Crane Public Library :-
It gives me pleasure to report that the year 1909 has been one of increasing activity and usefulness. In this direction have been the extension of the hours during which the library is open to the public, vacation privileges, reserve postal card notices, the issuing of a folder of regulations gov- erning the use of the library and of information for readers, the loaning of stereoscopic views as well as books and maga- zines, an additional delivery basket, the first distributing agency, and the largest yearly circulation since 1902.
