REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAYS.
GENTLEMEN : The experience of the year now at its close has repeated the history of the past, with additional evidence that it is easier to purpose than to perform. Yet the spring- time of our hopes has not been followed by the " winter of our discontent."
There has been expended the past year the sum of one thou- sand seven hundred and eighty-six dollars and thirty-eight cents ($1,786.38).
The severity of the winter has caused an additional expense ; therefore we have overdrawn the appropriation to meet the demand ($215.22) -two hundred and fifteen dollars and twenty-two cents.
The Boston road, so called, has been accepted by the County officials.
Expended in building the road during 1891 $1,577 10

REPORT OF ENGINEERS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The`department has been called to the following fires during the year :
April 8. Fire in woods.
April 19. Fire in woods, rear of B. S. Hemenway's.
May 1. Fire in woods, Mrs. Thompson's.
June 17. Fire in house of Thos. Bryant ; struck by light- . ning.
- June 23. Fire in house, estate of Mrs. Fiske.
Sept. 27. Fire in house of Melvin Garfield.
The fire of June 23, in the buildings formerly owned by Mr. Wm. Loker, gave the department the severest test it has had since its organization, and when it is considered that eight buildings were on fire at one time, we may justly feel proud of the work done by the department at this fire. The engineers, not desiring to take the entire responsibility of this fire, a call was made to the Natick Department for assistance, to which they quickly responded, and their help was greatly appreciated. by the whole community. The steam fire-alarm gong has been replaced on the factory of Bent Bros. Company, and the en- gineers have caused to be put in the Town warrant an article for the Town's action in regard to furnishing steam for the sounding of alarms. We hope the Town will take favorable action in regard to it, as we deem it of great importance. The origin of the fire at house of Melvin Garfield was the subject of an inquest by the judge of the district court, but as yet no report has been received by the Engineers in regard to it.
The department is now in the very best condition, both as regards property and membership.

The foregoing statistics will be regarded by those immediate- ly interested with feelings of disappointment, but with a small degree of satisfaction. The circulation is far too small for our population, and savors of indifference to the quantity and quality of volumes which have been placed at their disposal, for the simple labor of seeking them. The magazine literature furnished by our book clubs is in no way commensurable to a judicious selection from our well supplied shelves, and we are disappointed that it does not so appear to our reading public.
Our percentage in fiction shows a very unusual reduction. We must confess that the great increase of juvenile readers, in some degree, accounts for it, yet the demand has been more than usual for solid reading.
The Library has been open as usual without interruption. A change has twice occurred in its working force, which is a seri- ous inconvenience even with our simple and primitive methods.
The training of a library assistant is no easy task, the devel- opment of accuracy and general efficiency, no speedy accom- plishment. Our needs in that direction seem to be promising at present.
One hundred and thirty-three books have been purchased for the Library the past year, representing History, Music, Art, and Fiction. We are congratulating ourselves on the acqui- sition of the " Chronicles of Barsetshire," by Anthony Trollope, a series beginning with "The Warden ; " and while the stories are not dependent upon each other, the same interesting char- acters are carried into the later books. Our tablets must be consulted for other desirable additions. The books have been fairly treated by the general readers, but individual cases of carelessness and some of viciousness, have been noted, and one book lost by a person who has left the town.
Our magazine literature has had a valuable reënforcement. Mr. Chas. Campbell and Mrs. Wallace Draper, each donating nine years of " Harper's Monthly Magazine," making thirty- six volumes when put upon the shelves. Mr. George Whitney has given two years of "Atlantic Monthly ; " Mrs. Wm. Dudley two years of "The Children's Hour ; " Miss M. E. Reeves and Miss E. A. Heard, "The Home Journal," and
37
" Youth's Companion " for a year ; Miss Anna Dudley, "The Nation," for 1892.
The juvenile department speaks for itself, as registered in the " classes of reading," and is a source of great hopefulness for the future circulation and consequent enlightenment of these growing minds. A little judicious advice and direction on the part of the teachers, and those having in charge these eager seekers after amusement, and much information would be de- rived, while only pleasing diversion was the purpose.
The Library has been drawn upon by the schools but seldom. The use of the reading-room has not been general. Nothing has been purchased to make the room attractive, but donations have been received in generous numbers. The children have been amused, and the stranger interested for a fleeting moment, but the original intention of the room has not been realized. Mrs. Ellis Packard has sent to the room "The Christian Reg- ister " for the year, Mrs. Thomas "The New Nation," Miss H. E. Reeves " The Medical Student," the Misses Blake and Mc- Intire agricultural papers and " Home Journal" for 1892. Several numbers of the "Tablet" have been sent ; " Home Market Bulletin," "Student's Journal," "Free Russia," " Traveller's Record " regularly, and seventy notes from the Columbian Exposition Committee, giving account of the attrac- tions of the Fair of 1893 at Chicago.
We fully realize that our tablets are nearly full, that five years have elapsed since our last " Supplemental Catalogue " was printed, a longer time than has passed between any other two supplements, and it is fully time that we should catalogue the additions to the Library since 1888.
The unfavorable conditions of heating and lighting have never been more felt than during this unusual season of intense cold. We have been obliged to give up the use of the room for working purposes, except on opening days, and unless there should be some improvement in the manner of heating, the books should be examined at some other season of the year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE WAYLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY.
At the annual examination of the Library the first of the present year, the Trustees found it in a commendable condi- tion, and were glad to notice that, although many of the books could not conceal their age and honorable service, they had been more' carefully used, and kept in better condition than usual.
If the finances of the town would allow, improvements might be made in the management of our Library, which would make it more available to the public and increase its usefulness.
The opening of the Library two afternoons and evenings in a week would conduce greatly to the moral and social welfare of the town, and in opening it twice a week we should only adopt a custom which has been maintained in all of our neighboring towns for years. Everything that can be done to make the Library room more attractive to the public, either as a resort to its reading-room or to avail themselves of its treasures of books for home reading, is desirable.
Any reasonable expenditure for the Library in this direction will, we think, be as useful, in an educational point of view, as if expended for our public schools.
·We are reminded that our Library has been in use as a free public library for forty-three years. Very few of its original supporters still survive to protect and encourage its growth and development, and we who are put in charge of this enduring monument of their intelligent public spirit, so nobly founded and so far worthily sustained, feel how imperfectly we per- form the duties that rest upon us.
For details of our work, reference may be made to the Li- brarian's report.

The thanks of the Trustees are due to our efficient Librarian for her zeal and earnest endeavors in the interests of the Library, and for the cordial assistance she renders the patrons of the Library in their many inquiries. Thanks are also due our agent at Cochituate for the satisfactory manner in which he has performed the duties of his agency.
