The teachers, with whom I am associated in the schools of Merrimac, are earnest, enthusiastic, and faithful. They are doing good work; some of the work being done is su- perior. I wish to give them full measure of credit for the- excellent condition in which the work now is, and I wish to thank them for their courtesy and helpfulness to me in the work of supervision.
In conclusion, I wish to say that I keenly appreciate the apparent good-will of all with whom my duties have brought me in contact ; and especially do I appreciate the assistance and co-operation you have given me.

SCHOOL REPORT.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
To the Superintendent of Schools :
The character of the work in drawing has not been materially different from that of other years, though the vari- ous exercises have been changed somewhat as the pupils have advanced.
There is little to say of the work that has not been said in previous reports.
The amount of time given to drawing in the High school is not sufficient to accomplish good results. It is difficult to sustain the interest of the pupil in any line of work, when it is only taken up at long intervals. This is certainly true of the work in drawing in the High school.
At present the school is divided into two sections; one composed of the entering class, the other of those in the upper classes who are preparing to enter normal, technical, or art schools. Each of these classes devote forty minutes twice a month to the work in drawing. This makes the maximum time for each pupil for the year, thirteen and one-third hours. A matter of fact the time is shorter than that when stormy days, visiting days and so forth are counted out.
I would recommend that if more time cannot be given to drawing in this school, it be given up entirely ; but I wish to make a plea for more time and better accommodations for this work.
27
SCHOOL REPORT.
It is important that all High school pupils should have this training ; but especially those who are preparing to enter one of the three classes of schools mentioned above.
I would like to ask for a few more books for the teachers' reference library, and for some pottery and bric-a-brac for still life work. Ten dollars wisely expended for these aids would make a great difference in the amount and quality of the work done.

The second at a house on Mill Street, where no liquor was to be found, neither was their any fixtures to indicate that liquor had been sold within a short time.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
THE BOARD OF ENGINEERS,
MERRIMAC FIRE DEPARTMENT.
MERRIMAC, MASS., February 2, 1903. To the Selectmen and Citizens of Merrimac :
Thanks to good fortune the Fire Department has been called upon to perform very little service, therefore the Board of Engineers have very little to report.
Two alarms have been given. February 16th, for brush fire on the hill back of the Oaks-no damage.
June 9th, for slight fire on roof of shed at factory of Carriage Wheel and Gear Co. Loss given as $So.00.
June 29th, the house and contents of Abraham Mil- hendler at Hadley was totally destroyed. Loss reported as $900. This fire was unknown to the department until the following day.
The Steamer has received the much needed repairs. Seven hundred of the one thousand feet of hose, reported as unservicable, by the last board of engineers, has been put in good order.
The fire alarm system has had a thorough overhauling and two new boxes added, one at the Lower Corner and one at N. L. Howe's residence.

A total of 8,623 books have been put in circulation, with an average delivery of 92, the largest circulation in any one day being 165.

Our thanks are due, and have been extended to C. H. Pope for "Pioneers of Massachusetts." to Thomas W. Law-

LIBRARY REPORT.
son, for one copy of "Story of the America's Cup." Through the courtesy of our Congressman, the Hon. Augustus P. Gardner, the Congressional Record is on file in the reference room as heretofore.
Although not so many books have been purchased during the last season as in former years, three valuable works have been added, viz.,-
Century Dictionary, Io volumes.
Ridpath History, 9
Natural History, IO
which are considered a notable addition to the library.
The bulletin mentioned in the last report is now ready, and for sale in the library rooms.
A copy and index of the revised statutes issued by the Commonwealth have recently been added to the reference rooms, also other important works.
Access to the reference room can be had, other than regu- lar library days, upon application to the chairman or secretary of the Board of Trustees.
As yet the trustees have been unable to purchase books on account of the Whittier legacy, since the expense of the repairs of house have exceeded the income. -
It was actually necessary to provide a new heating ap- paratus for the library rooms, which the trustees have done. A request was made of the selectmen to purchase a furnace ; but they did not feel authorized to do so, hence the trustees were compelled to act in the matter, and ask the town for an appropriation to pay for same.
The cost is as follows : Furnace $43.55, setting up, pipe, freight, etc., $11.16, mason work, $3.25. Total $57.96. An article is inserted in warrant to' cover above mentioned expense.
35
LIBRARY REPORT.
Storm windows have been added to north-east side of the library, with the result of more easily heating the rooms, and the saving of fuel.
Desiring to maintain the usefulness of the library to as great extent as in the past, we therefore ask for the usual appropriation.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizen of Merrimac :
As there was no appropriation for this department, I have had the work done with as little expense to the town as possible.
A few trees have been trimmed in nearly all parts of the town.
Whenever any one has requested the removal of dead limbs or unsightly tree, I have had the matter attended to in connection with other work, so that the expense would be as small as possible. I believe a little work each year in this department would be sufficient to beautify the shade trees of the town.
Notices have been posted in all sections of the town regarding tree laws.
Several times I have been called to consult with tele- graph and telephone companies, and also the local fire alarm department, in regard to the placing of the wires, so that the least possible injury might befall the trees.
No new trees have been planted this year, although a few set out in different localities would be a great improvement, the expense of which would be very small, and I recom- mend the planting of trees, where it is necessary.
The total expense of this department for the year has been $46.40.
Respectfully,
GILBERT G. DAVIS,
Tree Warden.
