The committee was authorized to purchase the Walrath engine, if it could be bought, fitted for gas, at $2,000. This was a problem which disturbed the arrangements of the committee for some time, as there was a law suit against the town for breach of contract concerning the same engine. After a long correspondence with the party who claimed to own the engine, and his refusal to furnish the parts needed to fit the engine to run on producer gas; also after various conferences with the town attorney, and between him and the attorney for the reputed owner of the Walrath engine,
109
it was finally decided that the owner, Mr. T. C. Miller, should remove the engine. The town's attorney informed the com- mittee that such an outcome would remove all claim Miller might have against the town.
The committee then contracted with the Westinghouse Machine Co. for another engine to take the place of the Walrath. The committee feels that it is better for the town to have its engines all of the same make and to have such a reputable company as the Westinghouse to stand behindl them.
It was found necessary to extend the shafting and to make some other changes in connection with it, which work was contracted for with the James Hunter Machine Co., the party who had made the shaft which was already there. The same principle was followed in this case as with the engines, viz : to have the same party responsible for the whole of one job.
The report of the committee of investigation contem- plated placing the Producer Gas Plant where the steam engine now is, but on investigation there seemed numerous reasons why this should not be done, the principal one be- ing that it was necessary to use the steam engine until all the rest of the work was completed, so the committee, after consultation with the town attorney as to their authority in the matter, decided to purchase a small piece of land immediately in the rear of the buildings which will connect the site of the buildings with the land the town already owns, still further in the rear. This land was bought from Augustus F. Arnold and a suitable building for the pro- tection of the machinery erected thereon, this work being done in a very satisfactory manner by Bryant & Harlow.
On the 7th of September, the committee contracted with the General Electric Co. for one 150 k. w. Generator, with the necessary accompaniments, which was to be furnished in six weeks, which would bring it here about the time the Producer Gas outfit was promised. The committee con- fidently expected that before the long evenings should be upon us, the electric plant would be in running order with all the new machinery installed, but-
"The best laid plans of mice and men oft gang agley."
At the time of the writing of this report, February 6, the shafting is completed, the generator is in position and running, the foundations are finished for the two new en-
110
gines and the two producer gas plants, and we are waiting for the Westinghouse Co. to forward the apparatus bought of it. We are informed that the delay is caused by the unprecedented rush of business, not only with them, but with other parties with whom they had contracted for a part of the castings. We have their assurance that they are doing everything in their power to forward their work, working twenty-four hours a day and seven days in the week.

AUDITOR'S REPORT.
In going over the account of the different departments of the town, I find that the payments are properly vouched, with the original bills filed, in most of the departments.
I have repeatedly called attention to this lack of bill or voucher in my previous reports, and also to the proper officials. There should be an itemized bill or pay roll on file showing the expenditures of every dollar of the town money, and as auditor I shall not be satisfied until this is the case.
I wish at this time to call the attention of the voters to the debt of the town. According to the Revised Laws of Massachusetts, Chapter 27, Section 4. "A town shall not become indebted in an amount exceeding three per cent. OG the last preceding valuation of the taxable property therein."'
The electric light debt may be outside of this debt limit.
Our last valuation was $4,216,591, which gives us a debt limit of $126,497.73. Our actual indebtedness, bonds and notes, is $195,250.00; of this amount the Electric Light Loan is $79,200.00 and the temporary loan is $11,000.00. These amounts deducted from actual indebtedness leaves $105,050.00 which is within $21,447.73 of our debt limit. There are uncollected taxes amounting to $21,145.06 which will more than take care of the temporary loan.
Two years ago I recommended that the bills of the Poor Department be paid by the town treasurer upon order of the Overseers of Poor. I again bring the matter to your at- tention and request that some action be taken.
The payments of the treasurer are properly vouched. His books balanced and the requisite cash is on hand.
As required by the Statutes I have audited the books of the Trustees of the Peirce Estate. The method of book- 'keeping used by them is up to date in every respect. They use the "Voucher"' system, and the Voucher Original Bill and Check paying that bill, are on file. I have also examined the securities held by them as required by law. The income from said securities has been received and properly entered upon the books of the estate.
I append herewith statement of town indebtedness, notes and bonds.

THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Trustees of the Public Library
For the Year 1906.
The Library is open every week day (except holidays) from 2 to 9 o'clock in the afternoon and the reading room on Sundays from 2 to 7 o'clock in the afternoon. The trustees hope that all of our people will make use of its facilities for obtaining information, instruction and enjoyment.
We still hold our membership in the Library Art Club, from which we receive fine sets of pictures which are hung upon the walls of the Art Gallery and which all are invited to call and examine.
Soon after the date of the last annual report, the Trustecs suffered a great loss by the death of Mr. Calvin D. Kingman, the president of the board. Mr. Kingman had served for many years as president and his work was very much re- spected by his associates. The town, at its annual meeting last March, elected John C. Sullivan, Esq., to fill his place. Mr. Sullivan was suddenly taken from us in the Fall by the sad accident by which he was instantly killed. There is, consequently, a vacancy in the board to be filled at the next annual town meeting.
In the early part of December, Mrs. Thatcher tendered her resignation as Librarian to take effect January 1, 1907. She had been Librarian for 23 years and had done some very effective work for the Library. Her place was filled by the appointment of Miss Alice M. Alden, who has been an assistant for about twelve years and has done most of the cataloguing since that work was reorganized. Misses Florence A. Robinson, Marion K. Tillson and Mary M. Eddy are with her as assistants,
116
A number of bills incurred during the year 1906 have not' been adjusted at the date of this report and, consequently, have not been paid. The payment of these will somewhat liminish the cash in the hands of the treasurer.
The detailed work in the Library for the year is presented in the report of the Librarian which is herewith appended :
REPORT OF LIBRARIAN.
To the Trustees of the Middleboro Public Library.
Gentlemen :- In this, the thirty-third annual report, I would state that the Library has been opened 304 days from 2 until 9 p. m. There have been issued on cards 48,152 volumes, of which 28,028 were fiction and 20,124 non-fiction ; the largest daily circulation was 294 and the smallest 32.
Thirty-six volumes have been discarded, being worn out and unfit for use. Many of them were very old and it is difficult to replace them, but as far as possible this will be done. Two hundred ninety-seven volumes have been re- bound, and also the popular magazines of 1905; at this writing 179 volumes are at the binders. Three books have been lost, but were paid for by the losers and have been replaced. The additions number 371, making a total of 13,962 volumes belonging to the Library.
From the Young People's Room 15,320 books have been given out : 8,702 fiction and 6,618 non-fiction.
The last card issued to date numbers 2,283, making 334 new applications this year.
Of the reference books added special mention should be made of "Makers of History" in 24 volumes. This is a particularly fine and comprehensive work for all readers and students who are searching for authentic references.

" The school is not simply or solely for the protection of the child from ignorance, through the impartation of knowledge. It seeks his pro- tection from poverty by the cultivation of habits of industry, power to think, and skill for useful service, and its work is crowned with glory and success as it instills those principles of integrity and virtue which lead to noble, righteous charac- ter and life."

The cost of instruction in the High School last year was $5,610.00, the above amount of $4,810.00 not including the $800.00 paid for teachers' salaries by the trustees of the Peirce fund. The cost of instruction the present year in the High School will be $6,150.00, owing to one additional teacher in the school. In the elementary schools the cost will be $545.00 more than last year, owing to the increase in the force of one teacher for two terms and two teachers for the fall term.

The decreased cost of fuel for the Central Schools over the previous year was due to the fact that on account of using stoves in the old School Street building the past term the usual yearly amount of coal was not purchased for the building.
The wood for the Suburban and Central Schools is fur- nished by contract, B. C. Shaw furnishing fuel for 13 schools and local parties mostly to the other schools. The contract price varies from $5.00 to $5.50 per cord for hard wood and from $3.00 to $3.50 per cord for pine wood. The wood is delivered prepared for use. Last year 57 cords of hard wood and 27 cords of pine wood were required for the Suburban Schools.
The cost of coal for the Central buildings and the Rock School was as follows:
High School building
$422 48

219 36

The cost for fuel the coming year will be larger on ac- count of the new School Street building which will have five furnaces to supply. It is estimated that over 60 tons of coal will be required for this building.
