Report of the Trustees of the Public Library.
Last year the Trustees of the Public Library were happy to report that a decided step forward had been taken; this year, on account of the cut-down in the appropriation, the Library has been merely able to hold its own, that is, to meet the bills ueees_ sary for the running expenses. The new books added this year. -a set of Century Dietionary and a set of Thackeray - were ordered early in the year, after the dog-tax had been appropriated and before the adjourned town meeting at which our regular appropriation was cut down about one-half. No new books have been ordered since. and no books or magazines bound. The bindings of a good many books are worn out each year. A large case of books and magazines now in the Library cannot be used until they are bound. To economize we have also been obliged to dispense with some of our magazines. and saved thirteen dollars in that way.
The Trustees desire to express their thanks for the generous gift of thirty-six bound volumes, constituting a full set, of Har- per's Weekly, of the price of which Mr. George S. Winslow gave two hundred dollars, and Mr. Lane the balance.
To Mr. James Berwiek. for the book, " Our Post Office."
To Moulton & Hall. for the Daily Globe. which will be found on the table of the Library.
76
Seventeen magazines are now in circulation from the Library. namely : ---
Review of Reviews, North American Review, Popular Sci- ence Monthly, Forum, Arena, Current Literature, Atlantic, Har- per's, Scribner's, Century. Cosmopolitan, Lippincott's, New Eng- land, Good Housekeeping, St. Nicholas (juvenile). Wide Awake (juvenile), Social Economist.
We close the year with almost enough money on hand to pay the Librarian her salary for the last monthi.

Report of
Committee Appointed by the Town March, 1893, to make Repairs on the Everett School House.
The Committee organized by electing Mr. Tyler Thayer Chairman. and Rev. George Hill Clerk. The work was com- menced at an early day by calling to our aid one of the State Inspectors of School Buildings for the purpose of ascertaining what was required and of getting his suggestions as to the way and manner in which the Everett building could be improved so as to meet the demand.
With this aid work was commenced as soon as the summer term of school closed. The wood-work was done by Walker & Goodwin : the brick work by Spear & Smith. The heating appa- ratus was furnished by the Smith & Anthony Company, of . Bos- ton, on a plant substantially as follows : -
The boiler is a No. 6 Star Water Tube, which is different from a tubular boiler in that the tubes are full of water and the products of combustion pass around instead of through the tubes. thereby increasing the fire surface.
It is practically a double shell, so there is a space at the sides. ends and top which is also filled with water. The draught is indirect, as it passes three times through the spaces between the tubes. The indirect stacks consist of about two thousand
85
feet of cast indirect radiators, and are so arranged that they are able to pass a much larger quantity of air than usually results from the use of the indirect stacks and setting.
A circulation can be kept up through the entire amount of indirect radiation with a pressure of one pound at the boiler, which should mean a decided economy in coal consumption. The arrangements for mixing the air at the inlets are good, and any tendency to excessive ventilation is easily controlled by the use of curtains which are placed over each outlet.
We think the results obtained by the State Inspectors at their test are results that should satisfy us that we have a thor- oughly good plant, and one which fulfils the requirements of the Committee and the promises made by the heating engineers.
The wood and brick work were done in a thorough manner under the inspection and direction of Mr. Thayer. The roof was repaired in a satisfactory manner, the lower room in the old part enlarged and the upper one eurtailed, the pit for the boiler was sunk four feet and cased up with a double brick wall with Portland cement between, so as to be perfectly impervious to water. The boiler was set, the piping, radiators, cold air flues and ventilators put in by the Boston firm in the most careful and scientific manner, under the guarantee of satisfactory success or no pay.
After the fires were started and had been burning for three months, Inspector Joseph A. Moore made his official visit to the schoolhouse, and records the result in the following letter which speaks for itself : -

CHIEF OF THE DISTRICT POLICE, COMMONWEALTH BUILDING. BOSTON, MASS., January 15, 1894.
H. T. ATWOOD, ESQ.,
Chairman of School Committee,
Norwood, Mass.
Dear Sir : - I have made an examination of the new heating and ventilating apparatus placed in the Everett school house at Norwood , Central.
The test was made under the following conditions, viz : Weather fair; wind high; temperature 24°; humidity 50%; barometer 29.75"; average boiler pressure. 101b ; indirect steam turned on full; direct steam shut off; inlets and outlets open.
The average results for cach school room in the building were as follows, viz. :-
Air supplied, 2,728 cubic feet per minute.
Air exhausted from room, 3,334 cubic feet per minute.
Average temperature of rooms, 70.66°.
Average variation of temperature on same level in different parts of room, 1.66°.
Cubic feet of air supplied per seat, 52.8.
Air exhausted per seat, 68.71 cubic feet.
The carbonic acid tests were excellent, ranging from 5.9 to 6 6 parts in 10,000 of air, except in one room which was somewhat overcrowded. In this room the test was about as good as in most ventilated school rooms. The average of the carbonic acid tests in the several rooms was 6.86 parts mn 10,000 of air.
Most of the tests were made near the latter part of the afternoon session, the doors and windows having been kept closed, and there was uo recess during the session.
The difference between the supply and exhaust ducts was occasioned by the outlets working stronger than the inlets. This was done pur- posely to test the apparatus, and can easily be regulated by the teachers or janitor.
The difference between the amount of air coming in at inlets and going out at outlets is made up by that leakage around windows, doors, cracks, etc., which occurs in all buildings.
I congratulate your Committee on having obtained such successful results and having one of the best heated and ventilated school buildings in the state. Especially when it is considered this is an old building not planned for modern ventilation.
Very respectfully yours.
JOSEPII A. MOORE,
State Inspector of Public Buildings.
