To the foregoing statistics, which give a fairly good account of the Library workings for the year ending Dec. 31, 1893, it is hardly necessary to append any lengthy written statement. While our Library has not done the work which might be ex- pected of it in an unusually intelligent community, it is steadily accomplishing some good work in the generation which is growing up. The schools are hampered in the obtaining of books by the fact that the Library is closed on the days when the schools are in session, but, with a little consultation and a few book-lists of such as are needed, it is certain that broader work could be done, and our deficient departments more speedily filled with books specially useful to the teachers.
The want of a supplement is more keenly felt as each year adds lists attainable only from the tablets, at present crowded with six years' accessions. The perusal of the catalogue at home, at one's leisure, is the only way to insure a decided increase in circulation.
Our magazine literature is gradually assuming substantial proportions. By Mrs. Charles A. Cutting's generous gift of " Harper's Monthly " for six years, and Mrs. Warren G. Roby's valuable contribution of " North American," " Century," and " Scribner's," six years combined, it is essentially strength- · ened.
89
The Reading-room has received regularly " The Christian Register," " Rural Home," " Free Russia," " Travellers' Record," " The Tablet," " Home Market Bulletin," " Student's Journal," with "Nations," " New Nations," and agricultural papers from time to time. Magazines and pamphlets have been sent treat- ing of the questions prominent in the minds of people of advanced thought. Still the need of regular reading is very apparent by the absence of constant readers. I have em- phasized this want in several reports, and still hope I shall see it acted upon.
The subjects of heating, lighting, and insufficient room are trite subjects, but their conditions work irreparable injury to the welfare of the Library, and to the health and comfort of those who have the charge in trust.
The gift to the Library-room of a bust of Cicero by the late Miss Caroline Reeves is a great addition, but the space on the opposite side of the room is very suggestive, and we hope it will appear so to some other generous and kindly donor. A welcome addition to our coins was a silver florin from Mr. J. S. Abbott. Appended to this statement is a list of the books, in numerical order, added to the Library this year.

At the commencement of the fiscal year it was found necessary as well as convenient to change our bank of deposit, and also to make arrangements with some bank whereby our treasurer could borrow money from time to time, as the needs of the town might require. We accordingly changed our business from the Waltham Bank to the Natick National Bank, which has filled the require- ments very acceptably.
Our treasurer has taken up the small and scattered obligations of the town, and we now have the floating temporary debts of the town concentrated in one bank, where they are much easier to look after, and where they may be paid in part or in full, as the collections of the town may admit.
Main Street through Cochituate Village has been regraded, and the street railway company has laid a new track, substituting macadam for paving stone, now making the grade of the track conform to the grade of street, thereby preventing the water from standing between the tracks, as it has formally done.
In conjunction with the Selectmen of Weston we have perambu-
12
lated the bounds between Wayland and Weston and found them in their proper places.
Heretofore the central part of the town has had no adequate protection against fire, and it has been deemed advisable by the Selectmen to furnish hand fire extinguishers, and they have been placed in the Town House and in the house on the Town Farm, where they are easily accessible in case of fire.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD P. BUTLER, THOMAS W. FROST, DAVID P. W. LOKER, Selectmen of Wayland.
