REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN LIBRARY.
The Trustees of the Town Library respectfully submit the following reports.
The work of the library has progressed along the usual lines. The circulation department shows a decrease in the number of books taken by patrons during the year. As was said in a previous report, moving pictures are a great factor in the cause of this decrease The figures in the report of the librarian show that the circulation for this year exceeds that for 1911, 1912 and 1913.
The reading and reference room has been used by more people this year. The children outnumber the adults, but they are training to be the readers of the future. The bound magazines, used with the cumulative index, prove to be very useful to High school pupils for debates and essays on current events, and to members of reading clubs for various papers.
During the year a new typewriter, L. C. Smith and Brothers, Number 5, was purchased ; also a fine typewriter table and chair. In the spring, the shelves, books, etc., were cleaned with an electric vacuum. It is difficult to keep the stacks in good condition, owing to the fine coal dust that comes from the boiler 100m below. The waste spaces in the broad book stacks allow the dust to collect.
One step in advance was taken when the Trustees decided to open all non fiction shelves to the public. While there has not been a rush to take advantage of this, those who select their own books thoroughly enjoy the privilege.
Lists of books for the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades have been compiled from similar lists used in Worcester, Massachusetts, and Buffalo), New York. The Superintendent of Schools will have these lists multigraphed
116
and distributed to the pupils. It is hoped that these lists will be as well used as the history lists of 1913. Also a list of the authorized list of books from the Boy Scout headquarters has been placed at the disposal of the juvenile patrons. In this way an effort is made to guide the children to better reading.
At a meeting of the Trustees, held January 4, 1916, it was voted to request an appropriation of $800.00 and the dog tax for the benefit of the Town Library during the ensuing year.

In accordance with Acts of 1914, Chapter 408, the Board of Health established its Tuberculosis Dispensary at the office of the Secretary. It was inspected by Dr. W. W. Walcott, the state inspector, who reported to the State Board that it was so situated and arranged as to comply with all require- ments. This saved the town considerable expense. Miss Nellie Cratty was selected as dispensary nurse by the Board.
After countless complaints in regard to swill collection, the Board deemed it advisable to divide the town into dis- tricts and each man be given a certain section only. This was done and six licenses granted and it has worked out to the satisfaction of all as far as we can learn.
In the opinion of the Board the town is in dire need of a public dumping place, for ashes and other refuse, and if the town has any available land for such we recommend that an article be inserted in the warrant at the next town meeting, making the same possible.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN : -
GENTLEMEN: I hereby submit my report as Inspector of Animals for the year 1915.
Beginning February 1, 1915, on my annual inspection, some two hundred animals were inspected and six were con- demned, being infected with tuberculosis.
My efforts to bring about better sanitary conditions im barns are bringing forth results.
Before completing my inspection I was again stopped, owing to the prevalence of the dreaded Hoof and Mouth dis- ease.
During the months of April and May four dogs suffering from rabies were condemned, and dogs in the immediate vi- cinity were restrained. No other outbreak of rabies has ap- peared in Milford, though in the adjacent towns I have con- demned eight dogs.
