with the present circulation with the same personnel as at present.
Attention is called to the fact that our per capita in- come was only $.35 when for our Class it should be $1.00.
In connection with the open stacks it is the hope of your board at some future time to install more modern equip- ment in place of some of the original stacks which still remain. This we are unable to do from our present ap- propriation.
A careful reading of the Report of the Librarian is ad- vised so that everyone may be made familiar with the problems which confront the Board.
To the Librarian and members of her staff the Board extend their thanks and appreciation for their willing- ness and hearty cooperation.
Respectfully submitted, CAPT. GILBERT C. EASTMAN, Chairman.

To the Trustees of the Town Library :
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith the seventy-seventh annual report of the Library for the year ending December 31, 1935.
This year shows a gain in circulation over that of 1934. The larger number of new books purchased accounts for the greater part of the gain. The juvenile department is still very weak and the technical department needs more books. With an increased appropriation all departments could be brought nearer to standard. A children's room is the outstanding need of the Library. Such an addition would solve the problem of service and space.
CIRCULATION
The Library was open 303 days, and during that time 77,330 volumes were loaned, a gain of 2,619 over the cir- culation of 74,711 volumes in 1934. The circulation by departments was: History, 283 (loss) ; Biography, 1,197 (gain) ; Politics and Law, 46 (gain) ; Travel, 1,231 (gain) ; Science, 721 (gain) ; Fiction, 44,229 (gain) ; Magazines and Miscellaneous, 4,277 (gain) ; religion, 99 (gain) ; Poetry, 606 (loss) ; Juvenile, 24,637 (gain) ; Public Documents, 4 (gain).
The largest daily circulation was February 25, with 627 volumes. The smallest daily circulation was April 9, with 31 volumes. The average daily circulation was 255.2 volumes. The average circulation per capita was 5 plus volumes, a very low average. The per capita income was 35 cents, the lowest per capita income of any library in our division. The per capita income should be one dollar ($1.00).
144
Notices sent delinquents, 456. This applies only to first notices. Patrons registered during the year, 650; total registration, 3,570. Visitors to reading room, 8,165, as against 7,945 last year, a gain of 220.
Amount collected for fines and paid to the Town Treas- urer, according to State law, $168.31.

SCHOOLS
Pupils of the Stacy School were supplied with books for the silent reading period, as in previous years. The prizes for book reports, awarded by the committee con- sisting of Mrs. Margaret Lewis, Mrs. Frances Chad- bourne, Mrs. Irma Whitney, were presented to the win- ners by the Librarian at the Memorial Day exercises in Town Hall. The first prize, three dollars, donated by the principal of Stacy School, was awarded to Paul Swanson, Grade 8, Room 5, for his review of "Smoky, the Range Horse." The second prize, two dollars, donated by the Li- brarian, was awarded to Anita Marcus, Grade 8, Room 13, for her review of "The Secret Garden." The third prize, one dollar, donated by the Librarian, was awarded to Winifred Kiessling, Grade 8, Room 9, for her review of "Little Women." Honorable mention for good reviews was given Paul Swanson, Grade 8, Room 5, for review of "Silver Chief"; Miriam Bullard, Grade 7, Room 11, for review of "Hoosier School Boy;" Clayton Wilson, Grade 7, Room 11, for review of "Flying the U. S.

Again this summer the "Travel by Books" trips were formed, thirty-four boys and girls reading from Claflin, South Grammar, Park, Plains Grammar, Spruce, Stacy and St. Mary's Schools. The same procedure was fol- lowed this year as last (using maps and stickers), with the exception that fourteen books instead of eight were read to complete the trip.
All the written reports on the books were so good that the library staff felt well repaid for the time and work put into it. Many of the readers took the "Travel Trip" last year.
The following took the trip :-
Grade Four-Leola Burns, Mildred Nelson.
Grade Five Josephine DePasquale, Alfred Pantano, Leo Harlow, Florence Cogliandro, Congetta Carrabba, Doris Williams,, Garnet Flinn, Serponhy DerBedrosian, Gail Carter, Eleanor Laronga, Dora Ferrucci, Dorothy Hynes, Robert Lynch, Julia Porzio, Barbara Sails, Danny Villani, Irving D. Smith, John Holmes, Jr., John Manuel, Rose DiFonzo, Isabelle B. Cooper, Virginia Coffin, and Arlene D. Reynolds.
Grade Six-Anita Speroni, Richard Canon, Priscilla Jones, Rita Pessotti, James Burns, Jean-Marie Lancisi, Barbette Hartman, Nicholas Tosches and Edith Celley.
PUBLICITY
The publicity work requested by the A.L.A. was con- tinued during the year. There were exhibited appropri- ate posters for the various seasons; a remarkable boat made by George Wolfe; special exhibits in connection with the showing at the State Theatre of Little Minister and David Copperfield; valentines made by the pupils of the first six grades loaned by Miss Condon ; books on Ire-
148
land; Lenten Reading ; books on noted events of the year ; garden, vacation and guide books; scenes from well- known books for Annual Book Week; closing the year with an exhibit of new books, the Manger Scene, wreaths and a lighted Christmas tree.
NOTES
The Library Staff mourns the loss of Dr. Thomas J. Nugent, chairman of the Board of Trustees. They have lost a friend and an ardent advocate of advancing the ef- ficiency of the service of the library.
Two sets of Italian, Polish and Armenian books were borrowed from the Division of Public Libraries. The cir- culation of these books was good, showing the need of such material.
In September, the girls of the Vocational classes, with their teacher, Miss Apicella, made two visits to the Li- brary. They were shown how to use and enjoy the privileges of the Library.
Troop 6, Algonquin Council, presented "Handbook for Boys" to replace one that was lost. The troop also pre- sented the official publication of the Council, the Algon- quin Trail.
Miss Helen Colburn Heath presented to the Library a book case with 135 books owned by her uncle, Mr. Lucius E. Heath. This collection will be known as the Lucius E. Heath Memorial, and will be designated by a suitable book plate.
Miss Anna Ford presented a set of plates showing the work of Carl E. Akeley in taxidermy and sculpture, owned by the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois.
WORCESTER MEETING
On November 2nd the Assistant Librarian attended a meeting at the Worcester Historical Society Building, Worcester, in response to a circular letter received at the library for a representative from the library, the purpose of the meeting being to form a Worcester County His- torical Society. About one hundred attended.
149
The meeting was called to order and the purpose out- lined by Mr. Linwood Erskine, President of the Worces- ter Historical Society. After formal addresses the meet- ing was open for the discussion of ideas, ways and means to interest the general public in the historical societies in towns which now have such a society and forming one in towns where there are none at the present time.
A committee of five was named from the floor to draw up plans, Dr. Albert Farnsworth being elected chairman. Professor Coombs of Worcester, A. C. Harrington of Fitchburg, Mrs. Roy C. Baker of Clinton and Charles Carroll of Rutland were the other members of this com- mittee.
Great stress was laid on the preserving of historical things such as genealogy, town records, accounts of ear- lier settling of the towns, names of men and women who had been influential in helping the town; also on co-oper- ation, and the suggestion was made that if a Historical Society or a library had a document or anything of value of another town it should be sent to that town for its records.
Mapping out of cemeteries for recording as being help- ful in genealogy, taking of moving pictures of buildings, streets, stores and town meetings to be shown every twenty years, that the coming generation might see the town as it was in its earlier days, was suggested.
The Library Staff co-operated with the English teach- ers of the high school in the preparation of a supple- mentary reading list for the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes.
Book marks and "Planned Reading" are received regu- larly from the National Library Advertisers, Inc., Peoria, Illinois.
The entire staff, Librarian and three assistants at- tended the meeeting of the Bay Path Club in Westboro.
A much needed telephone was installed-call number 771-W.

TOWN SOLICITOR'S REPORT
Four of the ten damage suits which were pending against the Town January 1, 1935, were reached for trial during the year and settled. These four accidents happened in 1931. There were pending on January 1, 1936, eight damage suits, as compared with ten a year ago. Three new actions were started in 1935, of which one was disposed of. Eight other claims, which arose in 1934 and 1935, were settled without suit.
During the year 1935, 289 descriptions of property to be taken for unpaid taxes, were prepared at the re- quest of the Tax Collector, as compared with 418 in 1934 and 569 in 1933. Only 25 titles were actually taken, as compared with 43 in 1934 and 145 in 1933. In other words, there were 129 less notices of taking prepared in 1935 than in 1934 and 18 fewer titles actually taken.
As has been before observed in previous Reports, lib- eral provision is provided by which the taking may be released by the taxpayer. During 1935, 70 previous tak- ings were released or disclaimed with the approval of the Tax Commissioner. This shows that almost three times as many parcels were redeemed as were taken. But one petition to foreclose a tax title was filed. This case was adjusted with the approval of the Tax Commis- sioner, by the payment of a substantial sum of money to the Town, including costs.
The Solicitor has prepared and filed all the applica- tions for proposed P. W. A. work, has appeared before the Boards having charge of the same, attended numer- ous conferences and taken part in many consultations regarding them, both in and out of town. The P. W. A. projects approved by the Federal Government in 1935 were furnishings to the new High School and the Imhoff Trickler Unit at the Sewer Beds; Sidewalks, and Cedar Swamp Pond-Athletic Field being reapplied for under W. P. A. as stated in the Selectmen's Report.
156
Litigation has arisen over the letting of the contract for the construction of the Sewer Project. The lowest bidder was A. Daddario who, in common with all other bidders, deposited $5,000.00 as security, if successful, for the execution of the contract. Daddario was awarded the contract but has brought an equity suit against the Town for the return of the $5,000.00 on the ground that he was justified in refusing to accept it. The P. W. A. notified the Sewer Commission that if they returned the check voluntarily, the amount would be deducted from the account, which would result in the Town having to make it up out of its own funds. If the Town is forced to return it by Court order it is probable that the P. W. A. will revise that ruling. This action is still pend- ing in Suffolk County Superior Court.
A list of all the W. P. A. projects approved may be found in the Administrator's Report, and the status of the Cedar Swamp Pond-Athletic Field Project is given in the Report of the Selectmen.
The Solicitor has furnished advice and given numerous opinions to the various Town Departments; has brought many suits for the Board of Public Welfare against towns and cities for aid furnished; and has appeared before the Emergency Finance Board at all hearings on the Budget and on other matters coming within their jurisdiction.
Space will not permit, nor does necessity require, a further statement of the multiplicity of matters that this Department has handled during the year in connection with the many municipal problems that have arisen; but in carrying them out, the task has been lightened by the cooperation and willing response of the Departments affected.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM A. MURRAY, Town Solicitor.
