ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
At the Annual Town Meeting Joseph Jette was elect- ed to fill the vacancy on the Board. At a later meeting of the Board, H. B. Thompson was elected Chairman and Treasurer, H. S. J. Loud, Secretary and Joint Collector.
During the year the town has used more water than ever before. Connecting the railroad's supply tank with our system has increased the amount of water used by 150,000 gallons per month.
Six new services were added, one old service renew- ed, and one service shut off.
The amount of rates not paid were more than last year.
A hydrant on South street no:th of Maple street was run into and broken by an automobile driven by a Mr. Scott of Providence.
We recommend that on account of the proposed ce- inent State road the hydrants on South street, espe- cially north of the center, be placed back three feet to inside of the proposed sidewalk.

ANNUAL REPORT PLAINVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY
The year 1922 has been a normal year in library circles.
The library was open during 1922 for 149 sessions, the circulation for the year being 5093 fiction and 93 non-fiction, a total of 6063, or an average circulation of about 40 per session.
During the year we have added more shelf room, but are still cramped for reading and reference room, it being next to impossible for any to use the many ref- erence books on our shelves.
The hours for exchange of books are the same as last year, Monday and Wednesday evenings, from 7:30 o'clock until 9 o'clock, and Friday afternoons from 3 until 5 o'clock.
During the year we have purchased 234 volumes and have received a number of volumes from the Free Pub- lic Library Commission. Owing to lack of room, we have been unable to take advantage of exhibitions of- fered us.
Above all previous years, the Library has been hon- ored by gifts in memory of former citizens and neigh- bors. We first received a donation of standard works in a de luxe edition from the estate of Captain Benjamin S. Groves, and later a "Life and Works of Edwin D. French," the artist engraver, who, although not a citi- zen of this town, was well acquainted with the older people, and lies in his final resting place in our local cemetery. Thirdly, the following letter speaks for it- self :
106
ANNUAL REPORT
Plainville, Oct. 29, 1922.
To the Trustees of the Plainville Public Library,
Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to present six volumes of the Brady Photographic History of the Civil War, in memory of my husband, 1st Lieutenant William H. Wade, late Co. I, 7th Mass. Veteran Volun- teers. Trusting they may prove a help and inspiration to the soldiers of all our wars for Union and Peace, I am
Very respectfully yours, ELIZABETH N. WADE.
Again, about the first of 1923 there was added a num- ber of most interesting biographies from the estate of the late Albert W. Burton, presented by his daughter, Mrs. Linnie L. B. Noble, and finally a most timely col- lection of 111 volumes from Mrs. John T. Goff, in mem- ory of her husband, who was a former member of this Board and a firm and constant friend of this Library.
Your Trustees wish to heartily thank all these ladies -Mrs. Grove, Mrs. French, Mrs. Wade, Mrs. Noble and Mrs. Goff-and assure them that their kindness is heartily appreciated.
We would respectfully ask for the year 1923 your con- tinued support and co-operation.
