Report of Tree Warden
Amount of Appropriation
$300.00
Amount Spent $300.00
Comments ---
The tree warden's department had a year of unusual activity during the year of 1939. Coming in the wake of the hurricane the trees in all four villages were in very bad and in some cases dangerous condition. We attempted at first to take out all hanging and broken limbs which were likely to fall on sidewalks or houses. In some cases we cabled trees which were split but advisable to save.
In the early spring we had a blow of almost hurri- cane proportions which struck the eastern end of the town, Thorndike and Bondsville. It blew down 14 trees and damaged many more. These were taken care of.
After efforts during the winter months in the direc- tion of a W. P. A. project we obtained in May a grant of about $10,000.00 to repair hurricane damage on town trees. Due to need of men on other projects no men were available until the last of October. At this time we bought 200 maple trees which after careful thought were planted in what was felt the most needed places, namely Park Street and North Main Street in Palmer; Commercial, Church and the Common in Thorndike; High and Main Street in Bondsville; Main Street and the Common in Three Rivers. We then proceeded to trim trees of broken branches and take down decayed, broken and dangerous trees, which work is still in process.
I feel that with the cooperation of the citizens of Palmer and a fair appropriation for this department that in a very few years the streets of Palmer will once more be lined with fine, healthy, and beautiful trees.

Report of Young Men's Library Association
REPORT OF LIBRARIAN
The Young Men's Library Association now has 1,767 registered users of books, divided as follows:
Palmer
1,189
Three Rivers 242
Thorndike 136
Bondsville
200
About 600 books are kept at all times in each of the three branches. The circulation in the Bondsville branch is larger in percentage of population than of the other branches due to transportation costs and distance from the Main Library. The Three Rivers Branch per- centage is low since a number from that village are registered with and obtaining books direct from the Main Library in the Depot Village.
A constant purchase of new books, as well as the repair of old, is necessary through the unavoidable wearing out of books in their use by the residents of our town. Our record shows that books travelled 59,331 times during the year to and from the library and its branches.
The appropriation of $3,100.00, by the town, for 1939 does not cover the costs for coal, lights, telephone, sup- plies, repair to the books and library rooms, salaries of
109
5 assistant librarians and a janitor. We would call atten- tion to the fact that the heating of the entire building, as well as the care of the grounds, is paid for from the Library appropriation although other organizations occupy the building with the library.
There is a constant request by our citizens for new books, both fiction and reference, and with a total fund which is approximately one half the amount required to properly furnish the need of our citizens, we are en- deavoring as best we may with inadequate funds at our disposal to cover the more imperative requirements. We hope our town, as soon as it may be done, will gradually restore the appropriation which was made originally and which has been reduced from $4,600 to $3,100, or 33%, and thereby enable the Library to better the service, particularly in the Three Rivers, Thorndike and Bonds- ville Branches, since almost the entire income from our trust funds can only be used, under the bequests, for the Main Library in the Depot Village.
We purchased during the year 797 books which, together with magazines, newspapers and periodicals cost $1,466.98. Of these books 569 were fiction ; 228 non- fiction. We own 11,761 books. 4,913 are non-fiction, con- sisting of reference books, biography, history, travel etc. The reference books are kept at the library and are in constantly increasing use by the students and other of our residents in search of information to cover their studies, needs or work in which they are, or hope to be, engaged.
The workroom is in need of a new floor covering ; an additional table and chairs is needed for the reading room to supply the increased patronage. We have ex- tended the cases in the reading and main room in the library for reference and new books.
We have had the services of two and at times four N. Y. A. girls during the year, and they have been of
110
great assistance in keeping our books in repair, in cataloging and other necessary library work. Their compensation is paid by the Federal Government. The only cost to the Library Association is for materials used by them in this work.
We have received donations of 47 books from sev- eral of our citizens and hope that many others will aid us in this way. Books in good condition, fiction or non- fiction, are of use and will help us to supply the needs of our citizens.
It will be the constant endeavor of The Young Men's Library Association to better a service so necessary in the life of any community for its progress and im- provement, and particularly is this needed at the present time.
