AUDITORS' REPORT.
We, the subscribers, Auditors of the Town of Norwood, have examined the accounts of the Selectmen, Town Treasurer, Col- lector of Taxes, Cemetery Commissioners, Water Commissioners, Trustees of Public Library, Trustees of Sinking Fund, and all original vouchers on which moneys have been paid from the Town Treasury for the year ending January 31, 1899. We find and report that all orders drawn by the Selectmen, Water Com- missioners, Cemetery Commissioners, and Trustees of Public Library have been duly vouched, and that the foregoing is a true statement of the sums received and payments made Charles E. Pond, Town Treasurer, and Edgar F. Roby, Tax Collector, and that the accounts kept by them have been correctly cast and payments duly vouched, and that there remains in the treasury, January 31, 1899, the following amounts : - Town account, $13,131.73; Water account, $2,105.87; Cemetery account, $581.02; Library account, $52.01; making a total $15,870.63. Also that the indebtedness of the town is $108,342.91. The amount of the Sinking Fund is $18,089.09. The Auditors would suggest that the accounts of the Cemetery Commissioners be kept more full and complete. While correct, better results would be reached if given more in detail.

The apparatus is in good condition, except the rear running gear on hook and ladder truck, which is not heavy enough for the load carried, and we would recommend the purchase at once of heavier axle and wheels to be placed on the same. Estimated cost, $40.
We have in the department 2 hand hose reels, 1 one-horse hose wagon, 2 hand engines, 2 double runner pungs, 1 hook and ladder . truck, 12 (hand) chemical extinguishers.
Six hundred feet of 2} inch cotton hose has been added the past year.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
That the sum of $350 be raised and appropriated for a hose wagon to be placed in the house of Hose No. 2.
That the sum of $325 be raised and appropriated for the sup- port of the Fire Alarm.
That the sum of $40 be raised and appropriated for repairs on hook and ladder truck.
That the sum of $1800 be raised and appropriated for the support of the Fire Department the ensuing year.
Respectfully submitted,
J. F. BOYDEN, H. F. WALKER, F. W. TURNER, Board of Engineers.
To the Board of Engineers : -
GENTLEMEN, - I take pleasure in submitting the first annual report of the town's fire alarm system.
This system has now been in operation a little over a year and has proven itself an essential acquirement as well as having given the best of satisfaction.
91
The last year's heavy storms being so numerous, namely, those of February 1st, July 21st, July 30th, August 13th, and Novem- ber 28th, and the necessary changes made by the telephone com- pany, have been the cause of an unavoidable additional expense, but our damage in comparison with other towns is very small.
We now have as a system twenty-one boxes, two having been added the past year, - Box 18, at the corner of Nahatan and Prospect Streets, and Box 29 at the corner of Rock and Monroe Streets, - fourteen miles of live wire, with 2 whistles, 4 tappers and the necessary central office equipment of battery, galvanom- eters, etc.
The material on hand consists of one-half mile galvanized iron line wire, 1 reel, 2 tamping and digging bars, pikes, 1 pole sup- port, 1 pair come-alongs, 18 lbs. office wire, 10 cross arms, insu- lators and porcelains.
Respectfully submitted,
DANA H. FISHER, Supt. N. F. A. Telegraph.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
OF THE
MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY.
The prominent event of the year in connection with the library has been its removal to its new and beautiful home, whose doors were opened to the public on February 28, 1898. Words fail to express the conveniences it possesses in its present location, especially when the numerous disad- vantages of its former contracted quarters are considered. The Trustees, remembering in how many ways their efforts had been handicapped in the past, and realizing how much greater an opportunity the work they might do in the future would have for accomplishing the desired results, entered upon the new year with the pleasantest anticipations.
One attempt at making the library an increased benefit has already proved highly successful. Many books which, though of a high literary order, had seldom been called for, have been placed on a table of easy access to the public, the object of the Trustees being to bring them to the attention of frequenters of the library and particularly in this manner to make the younger readers acquainted with a better class of literature than they would otherwise select. Many a person on taking up a book in this way becomes interested in it, whereas the mere title in the catalogue would remain unnoticed. As already stated, the result has been extreme- ly satisfactory, books which had heretofore rested quietly on the shelves having been frequently taken from the library ..
Another experiment which has given the utmost satisfac-
1
93
tion is the opening of the stack-room to the public. This was at first thought by many to be inadvisable, but in no way has the privilege been abused and numerous have been the commendations received ; there is a feeling of pride among the young at being allowed to go into such a place to select their own books, and the confidence placed in them engenders self-respect.
As the Trustees desire to make the library of value in every way to the teachers and the pupils in our schools, the following self-explanatory letter has been sent to every teacher :
M
NORWOOD, MASS., Dec. 8, 1898.
The Trustees of the Morrill Memorial Library, appreciating the fact that the Public Library should supplement the work of the public schools, and desiring to bring the Library and the schools into closer connection, earnestly solicit the personal aid and co-operation of every teacher in the public schools of Norwood.
With this end in view, will you kindly send the Librarian, on or be- fore Jan. 1st, 1899, a list of such books (not necessarily strictly educa- tional) as you would recommend for the use of your pupils and for your own use. This list will receive the careful attention of the Trustees, and will be of material aid to them in making a judicious selection of books about to be purchased for the Library.
Very truly yours,
J. S. CUSHING, For the Trustees.
We desire to acknowledge with thanks the replies to this request, and when new books are purchased, the works named in them will be the first to receive consideration.
Immediately after the books had been placed in the new building the librarian began the work of cataloguing them on an up-to-date system. This work has advanced steadily, but at the same time slowly, as it has to be done in connec- tion with her regular duties. In time, however, we shall have our books arranged, classified and catalogued in first-
94
class modern fashion, and at a saving of the great expense which a special cataloguer would necessitate.
The number of new volumes bought during the year has been 307. This number is not as large as we should like, but when the many extra expenses incidental to the moving of the library and settling in its new quarters are considered, we feel that the best possible under the eireumstances has been done.
The number of books and bound magazines taken from the library has been 17,612.
The Trustees desire to express their thanks for the fol- lowing gifts received during the year :
Norwood Advertiser,
Norwood Bee, Norwood Messenger,
Norwood News,
L. A. W. Bulletin and Good Roads, from the L. A. W., The Beacon, from John C. Lane, Esq.,
Canton High School Association, 1 vol., Publie Documents, 12 vols., 5 pamphlets, Cambridge Woman's C. T. U., 1 vol.,
City of Chelsea, 1 vol.,
Mrs. Charles F. Palmer, 1 vol.
It is with pleasure that the Trustees make their first report on the reading room. Here there are four daily and three weekly newspapers, seven weekly magazines, nineteen monthlies, three juvenile monthlies and one quarterly. When the room was first opened the visitors consisted almost wholly of sightseers, but soon aetual use began to be made of it by readers, and its patronage has steadily inereased. The number of readers is especially large on Sundays. At the same time there are many people who do not avail themselves of the privileges of this beautiful room,
95
-beautiful in every respect, -and of the wealth of instruc- tion it contains.
The usual financial statement for the past year, ending February 1, is appended. The insurance has been renewed during this year for a term of five years. The binding bill has been very small on account of the thorough overhauling and repairing of the books before removal to the new building.
With much sadness of heart the Trustees record the loss they have sustained in the death of their esteemed chairman, Judge John C. Lane. At the meeting held December 5, 1898, Mr. J. S. Cushing, Mrs. B. F. Colburn and Miss M. B. Parker were appointed a committee to draw up a set of resolutions upon the death of Mr. Lane. They reported the following :
Resolved, That the Trustees of the Morrill Memorial Library desire to express their sincere regret at the death of their esteemed Chairman, John C. Lane, and their appreciation of the services rendered by him to our Public Library. He was a member of the Board and its Chairman for over six years, and served for several years on the purchasing com- mittee and other important committees, and was chairman of the cata- loguing committee at the time of his death. He was a constant student of literature and of the methods and management of other libraries, and gave generously of his extensive knowledge, his tireless energy and his personal income to promote the growth and welfare of the Norwood Public Library. To the Trustees he was ever an efficient chairman, a zealous co-worker and a warm personal friend.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon our records, embodied in our annual report and transmitted to the family of the deceased with the assurance that the memory of what he was and what he did will remain long with us, and will serve as an incentive to higher work and a cause of gratitude to the Eternal Father who sends such lives into our midst.
