TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF KIMBALL PARK.
To the Citizens of the Town of Merrimac :
The Trustees of Kimball Park make this their Second' Annual Report.
During the past year the grounds have been graded, the top soil prepared for seeding in the Spring and the making of ornamental walks and beds commenced. This: part of the work will be completed as soon as the weather permits and your Trustees believe by early Summer the: Park will present an attractive appearance.
The work of filling in and grading has been neces- sarily slow as we have depended upon the free gift of dumping material by the public, thereby saving what lim- ited funds were made available by the Minstrel Show and the interest on the fund to October 19, 1910 for actual im- provement work.
We have had to rely largely on the judgment of Mr .. Frank W. Spinney of Haverhill in grading and laying out the Park, as we early realized that it was better to have this work supervised by one experienced in such matters than to attempt it ourselves.
We take this opportunity to express our thanks for the generous support given us by the public, otherwise the work that has been done would have been materially delayed.

TOWN REPORT
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Trustees' Report.
To the Citizens of the Town of Merrimac :
Your trustees beg to submit herewith their thirty- fifth annual report. The interest in the library has been very well maintained, although not quite as many books circulated as last year.
By changes made in the rear entrance and stairway to the hall above, the library has been given quite a little additional shelf room which will be appreciated by the librarian and her assistants as the books can be arranged in a more convenient manner than before.
We here take the opportunity of expressing our thanks to a friend of the library, Captain Aaron Bancroft, for the generous donation of the elegant set of Encyclo- pedia of American Biography.
This set of books should be very valuable to the patrons of the library as it gives very much information as to "Who is Who" among Americans.
A new catalogue was completed and put into use dur- ing the early part of the year, which we trust has been found useful by many readers.
During the year, the real estate which came into the possession of the library through the bequest of the late James Whittier, has been sold, and the proceeds of the sale has been deposited with the Merrimac Savings Bank establishing a fund, to be called the James Whittier fund, the income of which is to be used according to the terms of the gift, for the purchase of books of a "solid character."
63
TOWN REPORT
The sum mentioned in the will of Mr. Whittier as the amount of his gift to the library was $250.00.
In settling the estate of Mr. Whittier the real estate on Nichols St. was offered to the library, and ac- cepted, in lieu of money.
This property has been carried for a number of years, and taking into account the price realized by the sale, and the expense and income of the property since it has been held by the library, makes it stand now at about $400.00 and. the James Whittier Fund has been fixed at that amount, the income only to be used.
During the year ending Feb. 1st the library has been opened 99 times.
There have been circulated a total number of 7295 books. The largest daily deliver was 115 and the average daily circulation was 74.
The following is the monthly circulation :

The trustees at this time publicly acknowledge the gift of Mr. Wm. B. Sargent for the book-case presented by him to the library during the year to be used in the reference room.
To maintain the efficiency of the library we would ask for an appropriation of $400.00 the same as last year.

AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Citizens of the Town of Merrimac, Mass.
Gentlemen :- It becomes my privilege to submit for your consideration my second report as Auditor of the Town of Merrimac, Massachusetts, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1910.
I have made a careful audit of the books and ac- counts of the Assessors, Selectmen, Treasurer, Collector of Taxes, Water and Light Departments and find them to be correct and kept in a manner which should meet with the approval of the citizens of this town.

TOWN REPORT
I wish also to call your attention to the excellent record made by the Tax Collector, there being at the present time less uncollected taxes, than at any time since the incorporation of the town.
Under the several requirements of the state aside from the general town audit duties, the time involved is of so great nature that to properly and conscientiously perform the matters called for, one must be expected to do a considerable amount far beyond the capacity of a general accountont ;- that is,-after each annual aduit is made, the auditor or other accounting officer is obliged to rearrange on a classified system a detailed analysis of all the transactions of the town for the year, showing in the smallest department, divisions and sub-divisions of matters of municipal relation; together with numerous supplementary schedules dealing still further in city and town affairs from the standpoint of use for comparative annual statments. Under the statutory bond of the Tax Collector, the Auditor must make a monthly audit of the collector's work and make return thereof to the bond- ing company. I enumerate the above that you may be- come aware of the extra conditions created in the last few years.
Under the action of the State Bureau of Statistics during the past year, the reports of towns having a population of less than 5000 inhabitants are not shown in completed detail as formerly ; a fact which in reality prevents the interested citizens from obtaining annually in the state bulletin probably that which he might most desire to know from a public spirited point of view. This does not seem right, as many towns in their annual tran- sactions are as up to date and progressive as those over the limit and should be entitled to the same consideration.
I wish to thank all citizens and town officials who have co-operated with me in my endeavors to bring to you in a clear and concise manner the financial summary of

the town's affairs during my service in its behalf. Respectfully submitted, ALBERT P. WADLEIGH, Auditor of Town of Merrimac, Mass.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF
WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Water Commissioners herein submit their seventh annual report for the year ending December 31, 1910.
During the past year we have added 34 services, . making a total of 476. We have laid 26 service pipes, making a total of 416. There are 20 services shut off of this number; 6 are double services where only one is be- ing used.
We have pumped 30,028,996 gallons of water during the year. Water takers have consumed a much larger proportion of the water pumped than ever before, the re- ceipts being $4,575.41, exceeding last year's receipts by $1,491.08. We think this may exceed the receipts for the coming year, owing to the present business depression, which if it should continue would mean a decrease in the receipts from factories as well as houses.
For several years we have been trying various com- pounds for removing scale from the boilers without suc- cess. Some two months ago the inspector advised us to take water from the swamp for the boilers, we acted on his advice and it has proved a success as it has already removed large quantities of the scale leaving the parts perfectly clean. In the table of estimates the item of un- paid bills includes the interest on bonds due January 15th.

SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
1
The Municipal Light Board herein submit their sev- enth annual report for the year ending December 31, 1910 :
Additions to the plant the past year have been 19 light services and 1 power service. We have in use at the present time 82 light services and 9 power services. Thir- teen of the light services were installed in houses and we think that in a few years the majority of houses will be lighted by electricity, the use of the Tungsten lamp hav- ing so reduced the cost and increased the efficiency as to make it the ideal light for all purposes, the cost at the present time everything considered being but little more than oil lamps.
The receipts from sales of light and power were $8,549.25, an increase over last year of $2,112.13, but we do not think the present business conditions warrant an estimate of as much for the coming year, and for this rea- son we are obliged to call for an appropriation for main- tenance, this appropriation represents what the town pays for its street lights and lights in town buildings for two years.
The plant shows an apparent loss in operation for the year of $312.43. This is accounted for by the fact that we had no appropriation for maintenance this year, while last year when the plant showed a profit of $1,961.68 we

had an appropriation of $2,776.55, whereas if there had been no appropriation last year the plant would have shown a loss of $814.87, or a difference in favor of this year of $502.44.
