REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE ADAMS LIBRARY
The Trustees of the Adams Library organized for 1940 with the following officers:
Chairman. Mr. Edward B. Russell
Secretary. Miss Miriam E. Warren
Treasurer. Rev. Charles W. Henry
Mrs. Ida A. Jefts was reappointed librarian, Mrs. G. W. Peterson, assistant librarian, and Miss Edith Alcorn assistant in the children's room.
A new work table has been purchased for Miss Alcorn's use in her work with the Nature and Hobby Club. The children meet at the library on Saturday after- noons and have shown great interest in the handicraft taught by Miss Alcorn.
Board meetings have been held at the usual intervals. The chief problem is how to keep the library up to date, how to meet the demand for the newest books by the increasing number of borrowers, and at the same time keep within our appropriation.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT ON PURCHASE OF AUTOMOBILE TRUCKS
We wish at this time to call to the attention of the taxpayers of Chelms- ford, that in the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting there are articles calling for the purchase of three automobile trucks to replace three that are most absole namely, in the Highway Department, a new three ton truck to replace a 1934 Inter- national two ton, and a new two ton truck to replace a 1934 Ford, one and one half ton truck.
We recommend heavier trucks for the reason that a heavier truck will stand up better than a lighter truck in a heavy snow storm. Invariably the rear end of a light truck will break and at present we are confronted with repair bills which are staggering each year.
The truck now used by the Forest Fire Department is a 1927 model truck, we do not feel that any comment on this is necessary, the truck having been in use for almost fourteen years.
