LIBRARIAN'S REPORT, 1951
Flint Public Library has been open the usual hours during the year 1951. The library hours are
Tuesday 3:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.
Friday 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.
Saturday - 3:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M.
Books were sent to the Howe-Manning School for Grades 4-8. The books were from lists prepared by the Department of Education. The High School students were also assisted with their reading problems.
Many interesting magazines for all ages were in the reading room or to be borrowed after the current month.
National Book Week was observed in November with an exhibit in the balcony. Many new books were on display and were enjoyed by all visitors, young and old.
The Trustees have voted to use the Trustees room as a new reading room for adult readers, which will be very convenient for reading, study and reference. Part of the new equipment has been installed and more will be added in the future. This room will be a welcome addition and a comfort to all adult readers.
Following the librarian's report is a short biography of Charles L. Flint, which should be of interest to the people of Middleton.
The librarian wishes to express appreciation for the cooperation and many kindnesses of the Trustees.

PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORT
CHARLES L. FLINT (1824-1889)
Charles L. Flint was born in South Middleton on May 8, 1824. He entered Phillips Academy in Andover in 1841 and later worked his way through Harvard College, graduating in 1849. After teaching a short term he spent two years at Harvard Law School. He was admitted to the New York State Bar and began practice in New York City. In 1857 he married Ellen E. Leland of Grafton, Massachusetts and had two sons and a daughter.
While in college, he won a prize offered by the Essex Agricultural Society for an essay on Indian corn, which was published in the 1849 Transactions of the Society. This essay and other agricultural writings attracted state-wide attention and resulted in his appointment as the first secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture. He took office in 1853 and remained secretary of the Board for twenty-seven years, during which time his annual reports contain a full and accurate record of the agriculture of this state.
Mr. Flint was deeply interested in practical education. He took a conspicuous part in the founding of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was a member of the Boston School Committee and helped in the establishment of High Schools. He was a founder of Massachusetts Agricultural College (chartered in 1862), (now called University of Massachusetts) and served as secretary of the Board of Trustees for twenty-two years. He lectured at the college on dairy farming and upon retirement of President Clark, (1879) Mr. Flint became president of the college, serving one year.
In addition to his extensive articles and reports for the Board of Agriculture, he wrote several books on agriculture. At the time of his death in 1889, he was president of the Massachusetts Agri- cultural Club and was widely known as an authority on farming. He died in Hillman, Georgia where he had gone to regain his failing health. He is buried in Grafton, Massachusetts.
In February 1879, Mr. Flint proposed a free public library to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the incorporation of the Town of Middleton. His offer of $1,000. and 400 books was readily accepted and six trustees were elected for a term of three years to establish and maintain a free public library. In 1889 under terms of Mr. Flint's will, the town was left the sum of $10,000. to be expended by library trustees for library purposes. The trustees were then able to purchase a site and erect the present library building, which was dedicated November 11, 1891 and appropriately named after its chief benefactor.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
To the Citizens of the Town of Middleton:
The Board of Selectmen submit for your approval its annual report of activities for the year ending December 31st, 1951.
Meetings have been held each Tuesday evening at 8:00 P.M. at the Town Hall, except during the months of July and August when meetings were held the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. This year we found it necessary to hold many special meetings to com- plete the town's business.
We have again this year requested an appropriation to continue the work of our Civil Defense Program in co-operation with the State authorities.
We have completed the survey of the business area in and around Middleton Square establishing the exact area that the business district comprises, and the boundaries of the street and property owners. This not only enables the Zoning Appeal Board to return accurate decisions on cases appearing before them, but will also assist the Highway Department and Planning Board in carrying out their work.
This year it was necessary to hold two Special Town Meetings, the first on June 26th, and the second on October 9th.
Meetings have been held this year in Boston, and here in Middleton with the Outdoor Advertising Authority in an effort to stop further erection of billboards on Route 114. Results of these meetings have not been as yet published.
