Business Activities and Opportunities
Although Newton is widely known as a residential city, it has various manufacturing activities. At Lower Falls is located one of the first paper mills established in the country. In Newton there are also machine shops, and factories engaged in the manufac- ture of fire alarm supplies, silk, worsted, rub- ber, paper boxes, curtains, railway signals, cordage, radio tubes, knit goods, &c.
There are numerous retail stores and specialty shops, pharmacies, modern sanitary markets and food shops, and up-to-date cloth- ing stores well managed and well stocked, a complete range of merchandise at prices as low as any in the large centers.
Information regarding manufacturing op- portunities, business facilities and residential advantages will be supplied on request by the Newton Chamber of Commerce, 297 Walnut Nv

The Main Library was incorporated in 1871 and was built, furnished and maintained for five years through the liberal contributions of citizens, a fund of over $65,000 being form- ed for the purpose, of which sum the late J Wiley Edmands contributed $17,000. In March 1876 the entire property of the Library was given to the City of Newton on condition of its maintenance forever as a Free Library. In 1887 a large addition was built by the City, and again in 1912 a large stack room was added. The plant was completed by the building of a three-car garage for the library trucks in 1925.
In 1926 the citizens of West Newton pre- sented to the City a new branch library building and grounds, valued at over $62,000, and in January 1928 the citizens of Newton Centre and Auburndale gave new buildings and land, valued at about $63,000 and $52,000 respectively. In 1930, the citizens of Waban presented to the City a new branch building valued with grounds at $75,000. A fine new building costing over $100,000, the largest branch in the system, was dedicated at New- tonville. December 1, 1939. The money for the large site was raised by Newtonville citi- zens. The building was a P. W. A. project. In 1934 the residence of the late John C Chaf- fin. 124 Vernon St., acquired by the City in 1930, was remodelled for a "Boys' & Girls' Library". The former quarters of that de- partment in the main building now house the Art Department. At Lower Falls a remodel- led engine house serves as the village library.
14
At Highlands, Upper Falls and Oak Hill, the libraries are in school houses, and in Nonan- tum, rented quarters are used.
On January 1, 1943 the Library owned 212,- 779 volumes, to which additions are con- stantly made. The circulation for 1942 was 750,620.
For 1942 the annual appropriation by the City was $102,988 for the Library with its ten branches. In addition there was received from Trust funds in 1942 as follows:
