The original arrangement of book stacks around the sides of Wellington Hall reserved but a single alcove for the refer- ence collection and its users. That accommodation was long ago outgrown, and expansion was accomplished by the moving of a stack. The time has come for another expansion. This is relatively simple, but while it is being done certain other pro- tective measures should be taken further to safeguard our valuable reference works. Two superfluous passage-ways next to the walls should be closed, thereby sending all outgoing traffic by the control point of the reference desk. This principle of increased supervision should further be applied by placing one of the moved stacks between two of the pillars, blocking egress by that route, and this stack should be cut down to a three shelves height for uninterrupted vision. A requisition for this alteration will be sent to the Public Building Department.
The library acknowledges with gratitude the following contributions toward the establishment of the Winter Hill Station : from Trustee Frank M. Barnard the attractive and durable binding of 250 volumes; from Mr. Harold Glines free express service to and from the station three times a week from March 18 until the end of the year.
By the will of Mr. Thomas J. Buffum the library is named a legatee in the sum of $2000. Mr. Buffum died on October 25, 1929. He was the father of former Trustee, Herbert E. Buffum, M.D. He was himself a trustee from 1876 to 1884, and in 1927 gave the Library $1000 to establish the Buffum Memorial Book Fund.
The Trustees have approved the acceptance by the Li- brarian of the Presidency of the Massachusetts Library Club for the year 1929-30, and also the acceptance of its Treasurer- ship by the Executive Assistant, Miss Morse.

ANNUAL REPORTS
There is great need of a public scale, centrally located, preferably in Union Sq. for the purpose of reweighing coal in transit, and other material which might come under the super- vision of weights and Measures.
The great demand for fuel oil as a heating medium, has increased the work of the department in the last year as the vehicle tanks used in the distribution of the oil have to be calibrated in gallons, and these tanks hold anywhere from 200 to 2000 gallons.

The above figures are approximate and are based on an estimated population of 104,000.
The paper and combustible materials have been disposed of at the Incinerator plant, the city receiving a revenue there- from of $400. per year.
The garbage has been collected by contract which pro- vides for collection twice a week throughout the year.
The Coleman Ledge property off Mystic avenue is being used to dump non-combustible refuse and also by the High- way Department for disposal of its refuse.
The non-combustible materials are being collected prin- cipally with motor trucks on account of the distance to the Medford dumps which are being used by this department sub- ject to the rules and regulations of the Board of Health of the City of Medford.
With a view towards the future facilities for dumping a contract was made during the year which will make avail- able the Combination Park property and should take care of the requirements of the city for a period of possibly seven or eight years.
The conditions at Clarendon Hill which in the past caused considerable complaint have now been entirely elim- inated.
The department as a whole I believe to be operating effi- ciently and with the co-operation of the citizens will endeavor
409

to carry on the work of collection with increasing satisfac- tion.

ANNUAL REPORTS
REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEAL
January 29, 1930.
To the Honorable the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville.
Gentlemen :-
The Board of Appeal of the city of Somerville respect- fully submits the following report of its activities during the year ending December 31, 1929.
The membership of the Board itself has remained un- broken during the year but we mention with sadness, the loss of our clerk Mr. Edwin Butler who passed away December 5, 1929. Mr. Butler had been clerk of the Board since its form- ation and had rendered valuable, efficient and pains-taking service. We feel that the city suffered a great loss in the tak- ing away of Mr. Butler.
The number of meetings held during the year was twenty- eight (28.) At these meetings there were hearings to consider thirty-four (34) cases of appeal from the decision of the Com- missioner of Public Buildings refusing to grant permits under the provisions of the Building Zone Ordinance, the Building Ordinance of 1927 and the Fire District Ordinance.
The Board has endeavored to conduct its hearings in an impartial manner and has given the appellants and the remon- strants a full opportunity to present all the facts and details regarding the appeal petitions. The Board, realizing the im- portance of its work, has endeavored to render fair, unbiased decisions in every case.
Nineteen (19) appeals has been granted, fourteen (14) appeals refused, and on one (1) appeal no action was neces- sary.
411
BOARD OF APPEAL
In addition to the regular members of the Board there are three Associate Members :
John W. Whitney, 44 Walnut street-1930 Warren A. Perry, 11 Evergreen avenue-1931 Harris Gordon, 169 Highland avenue-1932.
The authorization of the Associate membership was by act of the Massachusetts General Court on March 1, 1928 and by acceptance of the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somer- ville March 23, 1928.
The Board feels that the present method of calling the Associate Member for service can be improved and it would recommend that in case of need of service where any member of the Board will not be present that the Associate Member should be called by the Chairman.
After four years of careful observation, this Board, be- ing conscious of the rapid changes both economic, social and other wise that has taken place in the city in consequence of the coming of the Northern Traffic Artery and other improve- ments, feels that it is obvious that a new survey of the zon- ing should be considered, and the Board so recommends it.
The Board of Appeal is an important department of the City's work. It has been delegated by statute with extra- ordinary power. It is, therefore, important that careful de- liberation be given to the appeals of all appellants and that decisions be carefully made. The Board having this in mind has endeavored to so function that its decisions are fair to the appellant and for the best interests of the city.
Regarding the enforcement of the ordinances subsequent to the decisions of this Board we have no jurisdiction. This duty is entirely left with the Department of the Commission- er of Public Buildings. We have been embarrassed at times by the non-enforcement of our decisions but we could do noth- ing to correct the situation.
We therefore recommend that steps be taken by the En- forcing Department to furnish closer co-operation and to fol- low up the enforcement of all cases after decisions have been made.
412
ANNUAL REPORTS
The Board desires to report with gratification that ab- solute harmony and co-operation of its members has prevail- ed and we hope our services have been satisfactorily rendered and that our decisions have been fair to both appellant and remonstrant and for the best interest of the city.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK J. WHITE, Chairman, WALTER T. LITTLEFIELD, Secretary, FREDERICK J. DREYER, EUGENE A. F. BURTNETT, FREDERICK A. DUTTON.
