CIRCULATION AND REGISTRATION.
The circulation of books for home reading for the year has amounted to 53,353, a gain of 8,359 over last year, and making this year's circulation the largest in the history of the library. Of this number 40,106 were fiction, 13,247 non-fiction and 16,477 or more than one-third of the entire number were issued from the Young People's room. While there has been an advance in all departments the most marked has been in this room, the gain from last year being 2,602 vols. The largest day's issue was on Feb. 25th with 370 books; the smallest Jan. 24th owing to a severe storm, when 41 books were given out.
The average daily circulation for the year was 174 vols.
In accordance with the suggestion of the Superintendent of Schools, boxes of books have been sent to two suburban schools, that in the Soule neighborhood and on the Marion road. These books are placed in the care of the teachers, the at- tempt being made to please all classes of readers. A report has been received from one of these schools, showing that most of the books have been used, and some have been taken many times. This method will probably be extended in the future to other schools.
The number of new borrowers' cards issued has been 390 of which 134 were children under 15 years of age. The total registration Dec. 31, 1908 was 3,054.
YOUNG PEOPLE'S ROOM.
The work of this room has been along the same lines as in former years. The need of more shelf room has been felt, it having become necessary to remove some of the oldest and least-used books to make room for new ones. 180 volumes have been added to this department. Bulletins for the use of the teachers and scholars in the celebration of holidays were posted for Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. More teachers have taken books from this room for use in the schools than ever before. In this way many children are reached who never come to the library, and books are also read which would not probably be taken by them. The percentage of fiction from this room is much smaller than from the main library.
106
An increasing amount of reference work is being done by the assistants. Much credit is due to the young people for their excellent conduct while at the library.
The method of exhibiting some of the best work done in the schools in drawing etc. is being tried, Miss Mary Cook, Super- visor of Drawing being in charge. These exhibits are changed about once in two weeks, and are to be found on the north bulletin board in the delivery hall. This brings many new children to the library.
READING AND REFERENCE ROOM.
This room has been well patronized, many books having been taken temporarily for reference work of which no record has been kept. Several new reference books have been added, the leading ones being an Encyclopedia of Civil Engineering in 8 vols., Encyclopedia of Agriculture in 3 vols. and the A. L. A. portrait index.
The new periodicals, Womans Home Companion, Modern Sanitation, Catholic World, Work & Charities and the Com- mons are to be subscribed for this year.
Two stereoscopes have been placed in the reading rooms with views on "Switzerland" and "Children of many lands." Other views will be added from time to time.
BINDING.
401 books have been sent to the book binders, besides the leading magazines of 1907. As the ordinary binding of new books is not strong enough to resist more than a few circula- tions, the library has bought as many books as possible in the so called "Library bindings" which are much more durable tho costing a little more.
LIBRARY ART CLUB EXHIBITS.
These pictures have been received and exhibited in the art gallery on the second floor, and have been received with much interest, especially by the young people. They have been on many interesting subjects and have been changed about once in three weeks.
THE STAFF.
An addition has been made to the staff this year, Miss Grace Bates having become one of the assistants.
107
An opportunity was given the librarian in June to attend a three days meeting of the Mass. Library Club at Pittsfield which was much appreciated. The January meeting at the Boston Public Library was also attended. Many new and useful ideas can be obtained at these meetings which can be put into practice.
The librarian wishes to extend thanks to the trustees for their support, and to the members of the staff for the many ways in which they have cooperated to promote the usefulness of the library, also to all who have endeavored to assist in any way.

REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHTING PLANT.
Messrs Henry W. Sears, Chairman,
Wilkes H. F. Pettee, and Lyman P. Thomas,
Municipal Light Board, Town of Middleboro.
Gentlemen :- I have the honor to present the fifteenth annual report of the Manager of the Municipal Light Plant for the year ending December 31, 1908. The figures hereafter presented will more readily show the progress the plant has made during the year past than can be expressed in words here.
Suffice to say there has been a gradual and continual in- crease in the Commercial and Domestic lighting end as well as the power part.
The physical condition of the electric station is better at the present time than ever before.
After the size of the water service from the Town mains is increased, which I am informed will be done as soon as some needed fittings arrive, the chances are very small indeed for the light service being interrupted by accidents.
At present as in the past we have depended on a steam pump to supply the water taken from the river for the cooling water for the cylinder jackets and producer apparatus.
Owing to the efficiency of the station force the service has been uninterrupted at that end, the only interruption occurring on the service was a small portion of one circuit being out part of one evening on account of wires becoming crossed in a tree one wet night.
More than the usual time and labor has been expended on the poles and wires this past year than ever before as may be seen from the manufacturing account.
During the year there have been set ten poles in new location and together with the telephone company replaced sixty- four old poles and changed the Town wires onto same. These poles have replaced some which have been in service more than fifteen years and had become a source of trouble and danger from being broken or nearly rotted off at the top of the ground.
About two hundred cross arms have been replaced and in all cases the new arm has increased pin capacity, that is,
110
where the old arm was a four pin the new arm is six pin, and a six pin replaced by a ten pin. Some of the old original lines with the insulation hanging down in strings have been replaced with new wire, but there still remain some which is not any credit to the plant, but if the present plans are carried out, new wire will be in the place of it this coming year.
The above improvements on lines with keeping an extra man in connection with that work, and changing lines over on account of the day service which entailed much Sunday work accounts for the difference of nearly six hundred dollars between this years cost of repairs of lines and wires and that of 1907.
In the early part of the year an expert was procured from the meter department of the General Electric Co. also one from the Westinghouse Co. to assist him on meters of that make who tested every meter installed. Every meter tested that could be adjusted to within 2% was left within that per- cent. Those of the older type not being capable of adjust- ment on account of age and wear were removed and those of modern type which are included in, and account for the greater number of meters bought than new customers obtained.
The plant now owns rotating standard testing meters and apparatus with which meters, the accuracy of which is ques- tioned by the consumer, may be tested. These instruments and the experts employed cost nearly $300 00 but it places the plant in a position not only to protect its own interests but offers a means in many cases of satisfying the customer.
In every case but one, since last June every customer who personally witnessed the testing of their meter, the correctness of which was disputed was satisfied it was within the limits allowed by the State and (cheerfully) paid their bill.
At the present time there are installed on the lines sixty-six transformers. Twenty-four of these are of obsolete type and being constructed for 125 cycles and being operated on 60 cycles the core and copper losses are so great that with the present twenty-four hour service these transformers greatly increase the loss between the station out-put and amount billed.
A certain amount of loss is unavoidable and as this loss is constant while current is on the lines a more modern and efficient transformer would soon save in fuel consumption the cost of new ones.
Another reason warranting this change is that of so much better regulation with new ones.
111
I believe by this change the immediate results will be more noticeable than by any other change possible to make in the equipment of the plant as a whole, with the exception of the 25 horse power boiler at the electric station which is"Economic" by name rather than by nature. Inquiries looking to this end are at present being made.
THE GAS ENGINES.
Just a few remarks concerning the gas engines to show the reliability and thereby refute some of the statements made by those who are, or were opposed at the time of installing the gas engines, to the effect that they were not reliable power, and some figures to confirm the statements of those who advoctaed that gas engines were cheaper to operate and better suited to the conditions existing here.
For those not familiar with the equipment installed would say, they consist of one engine of 125 H. P., one of 89 H. P. and one of 64 H. P.
The 125 and 89 horse power engines started in May 1907, the 64 engine having been installed in 1905 and using gasoline for fuel up to the time of installing the producer plant when it was changed to a producer gas engine and since operated as such.
Up to January 1st, 1909 the 125 h. p. engine has run 2977 hours and the 89 h. p. engine run 3367 hours and the 64 h. p. engine on producer gas has run 6472 hours. A total of 69924 engine hours.
During that time the 125 engine has been shut down twice for about five minutes each time to replace a broken water connection on the exhaust valves and the same of the 89 engine.
During 1908 the engines run 50452 engine hours, and in that time the engines have never stopped except when stopped by the operators and have run as long as needed. By that I mean and wish to emphasize the fact they are not in the habit of stopping without any apparent cause as expected by some who have witnessed this occur to some one, two or five horse- power gas or gasoline engine or automobile which brings to mind more forcibly the fact that engines of this size and type must not be compared to the little ill smelling, barking engines of the sizes mentioned above, for except in the fundamental principles the gas engines used commercially today are an entirely different production. As to cost of operation.
112
The year of 1906 was the last year steam was used for a full year and 1908 the only year gas engines used exclusively, therefore these two years must be used for comparison. In the year of 1906 a 72 horse power gasoline engine was used in conjunction with the steam engine, and from repeated tests at that time the cost of producing the same amount of power with the gasoline engine was found to be about the same as from the steam engine, and if any difference, in favor of the gasoline engine.
Unfortunately there were no reliable station meters installed in 1906 so that the kilo-watt output might be used.
In consequence of which, the sales and fuel consumption and cost of the respective years must be used as factors in determining the relative value of the two motive powers.
Electric sales in 1906,

1906 steam engine run 21674 hrs.

1908 gas engines run,
125 h. p. 1647} hrs.
89 h. p. 2751 hrs.
64 h. p. 6474 hrs.
Total of 50452.engine hours.
From the above may be deduced the following :
Increase in sales in 1908 over 1906,
$6,421 38
Increase in cost of fuel in 1908 over 1906, 375 45
Increase in engine hours in 1908 over 1906, 1980₴ hours.
Or to make it more comprehensive may be expressed as follows :
113
Increase in sales in 1908 over 1906 56% Increase in cost of fuel in 1908 over 1906 112% 642%
Increase in engine hours in 1908 over 1906
There is one thing which must not be forgotten in these comparisons, and that is, that in 1908 our load factor with all day service was much lower than in 1906 when only night service was given, and which if taken into consideration would make a much better showing for 1908 than appears by the above.
DAY LOAD.
One of the recommendations of the committee of 1906 was that day current be furnished and a power load canvassed for.
After vainly trying to induce parties who would most likely be benefited by adopting electric motors as a motive power and discard the power they were using, concluded the best way to advertise the fact that electric power was the cheap- est and best was to start a day service. which was done the first part of April.
After inducing one man to install a 5 horse-power motor the day service was started with that to practically demon- strate the reliability of the service and that electric power was cleaner, cheaper and more convenient.
From this small beginning there has been a gradual but con- tinual increase in motor installations so that at the present time the plant is furnishing current to fifteen G. E. motors, three of other makes, aggregating nearly 80 horse-power divi- ded as follows:
1 25 h. p. 7
5 h. p. 3 phase. 3 h. p. 3 phase. 3 phase. 3 phase. .
1 1 h. p. single phase. 3 ¿ h. p. single phase. 2 coffee grinders and 2 dental lathes. 2 4 2 h. p.
Application has already been made for five others aggrega- ting about 10 horse-power to be installed early in 1909.
