Respectfully submitted,


JAMES A. HALLORAN, Town Counsel.

140


Care Main Street.

There has been 11,568 lineal feet of street surfaced with Tarvia during the year. The total cost including the repairs of depression, labor and material, $1,704.82.


As the appropriation would not allow any extended rebuild- ing I deemed it advisable "with the consent of your Honor- able Board," to preserve the streets rebuilt in 1913, by sur- facing them with Tarvia.


During the year we crushed 4,096 tons of stones. The cost for crushing stone for the highways as soon as the plant was constructed, was $1.09 in the bins. I will state here that wc were delayed by the new machinery heating, and had to run carefully until it adjusted itself. The amount of stone used on Nahatan Street was 3,381 tons (which is included in the above figure) and the cost was .75 per ton in the bins.

Cresant Avenue,


400 ft.


West Street,


500 ft.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY.


Due to a change in the Town calendar year, this report of the Library Trustees covers a period of eleven months only.


The circulation has increased to such an extent that even for this shortened period it is larger than for the preceding customary twelve months. The month of March, 1914, was the largest ever recorded in the history of the Library, reaching a total of 4936 volumes, an excess of 700 over any previous monthly record and an average of 190 volumes per day for the month. On March 7th a new record was established for daily issue, reaching a total of 361 volumes, an excess of 61 over any previous record.


As noted in previous reports, the Trustees have been en- deavoring for a closer co-operation between the Library and the Public Schools and it is with gratification that through the co-operation and efficient assistance of Mr. Austin H. Fittz, Superintendent of Schools, a long step in advance has been made. Books suggested as especially needful for teachers have been purchased by the Trustees; every alternate month books have been sent to the Balch School, distributed under the supervision of Miss Curtin, a member of this board, and also to other schools, ten at a time, and the scheme is produc- tive of most excellent work. Miss Linda M. Lowell of the High School has continued her good work in bringing classes to the Library at stated times in the forcnoon.


Maple shade trees have been set out on the lawn along the line of Walpole and Beacon Streets.


By order of the State Authorities, extensive repairs have been made on the boiler. This unexpected expense has cut down the book fund this year by a much needed $170.00.


143


The Quarterly Bulletin has been regularly issued and has proved of great assistance to those unable to visit the Library.


The Financial Account shows an unexpended balance in our treasury of about $16.00. This was reserved by the Trustees to meet a bill for Library supplies which has not been presented in season to include in this year's account.


Respectfully submitted, DR. I. S. FOGG, Chairman, MARIA E. COLBURN, Secretary, WILLIAM T. WHEDON, WALTER S. BLAIR, GEORGE W. CUSHING, AGNES CURTIN.
