PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORT
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT, 1953
Flint Public Library has been open the usual hours during the year 1953. The library hours are:
Tuesday - - 2:00 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.
The library hours on Tuesday have been increased one hour, open- ing at 2:00 P.M. instead of 3:00 P.M. This was done to cooperate with the Howe-Manning School, and will give pupils who have to go on the buses, a chance to visit the library before leaving for home. Through Mr. Dower, the principal, a class under supervision of teachers has visited the library many Tuesday afternoons. They will become acquainted with the books, for some of the children have never visited the library. This plan went into effect November 17.
Books were sent to Howe-Manning School for the special reading required by the State Department of Education for the awarding of certificates.
In November, National Book Week was observed with exhibits in the adult reading room and a large number of visitors came to the library. Many new books for children and young people were on display, also some very interesting new books for adults both fiction and non-fiction.
Magazines in the reading room
American Boy

Many fine books have been received as gifts to the library in 1953. It is very helpful to have these additions to the shelves and will give pleasure to many readers. Also it is adding valuable reference material for students.
The librarian is very appreciative of the cooperation and assist- ance which the trustees have given during the past year.

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, 1953.
Meetings have been held each Tuesday evening at 8:00 P.M. at Memorial Hall, except during the months of July and August when meetings were held the first and third Tuesdays of each month. This year we found it necessary to hold four special meetings to complete the Town's business.
This year it was found necessary to hold two Special Town Meetings, the first being held Tuesday, March 10, and the second held Tuesday, December 29th.
A vacancy in office was filled this past year by a joint meeting of this Board and the Planning Board. On June 2nd Lewis Barret was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Roger Clapp.
On March 24th James Ogden was appointed custodian of the Town Hall to fill the unexpired term of Arthur K. Fuller who resigned.
This year the Mansfield Fund held its Town Picnic at Pine Island Park, Manchester, N.H. on Tuesday, August 11th. Ten buses were needed to transport the children, one more than were used in 1952. The Wakefield Redmen's Band presented a concert at our Park Friday, August 7th in conjunction with the annual Firemen's Muster. Baskets were also distributed at Thanksgiving and at Christmas from funds made available for this purpose.
TOWN BUILDINGS
In our rebuilding program at Memorial Hall, this year we com- pleted a new office for the use of the Electric Light Department Manager and Commissioners. This allowed us to give the Tax Col- lector an office for his work and relieved the crowded conditions existing with the joint use of an office by the Board of Assessors and Tax Collector. Four offices were redecorated this year. Our program for 1954 calls for work to be done on the outside of Memorial Hall, namely painting the building, repairing gutters and the removal of the flag pole on the roof.
The Board this year revised the rental rates at the Town Hall and the following schedule was adopted:
Out of Town or Business Use $6.00
Social Organizations of this Town 4.00
Rehearsals 2.00
62
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
Many of the damaged chairs at the Town Hall were repaired giving us a minimum number to use for seating.
The Board has placed an article in the Annual Warrant requesting the Town to consider the advisability of removing the office of Town Hall Custodian from the Ballot and placing it in our hands as an appointive office. It is the feeling of this Board that an arrangement may be worked out very satisfactorily by combining several of the Town janitor jobs into one.
PARK DEPARTMENT
Mr. John Hocter was appointed as Park Superintendent for 1953 to enable joint use of men and equipment between the Highway Department and the Park Department.
In addition to our ordinary Park maintenance program this year we purchased a gang lawn mower which was used on the Highway Department tractor and speeded up the mowing process very much. We also were able to remove much of the rubble located at the lower end of the Park.
This Department suffered a serious loss when tables placed in the pine grove were destroyed by vandalism.
We also added to our Park equipment by the purchase of additional baseball equipment.
The basketball court was relocated.
In line with our program established several years ago this Board has continued its work with the Department of Public Safety and the Department of Public Works on traffic control and regulations.
This year with the cooperation of the Department of Public works a traffic control island and signal lights were placed in Middle- ton Square and the full expense of this project was borne by the State.
We have also been assured by the Department of Public Works that steps will be taken to relieve the Gap Conditions now existing at a point from Middleton Square to Boston Street. Surveys of this project have been completed and plans are in the process to schedule this project in 1954. We wish to extend our thanks to Representative Paul Zollo for his efficient help in this matter.
We again requested funds from the Department of Public Works for the renewal of the Peabody Street Bridge which hs been in poor condition for the past several years. As a result we have been allotted $3,000.00 from the State.
In line with this, the Board has placed an article in the Annual Town Meeting Warrant to appropriate the sum of $1,500.00, which is to be matched by the County.
63
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
As directed at the Annual Town Meeting of 1953 under Article 20 this Board completed with Hazen K. Richardson the transfer of land between Mr. Richardson and the Town at Middleton Square.
As directed under Article 10 of the 1953 Annual Town Meeting this Board together with the Chief of Police purchased a new 1953 Ford Police Car.
Working with the Town Treasurer this Board approved and issued bonds in the amount of $40,000.00 as directed under Article 16 of the 1953 Annual Town Meeting. Such funds when received were reinvested in Government Notes until such date as they will be needed to pay the Town's obligations on construction of the new Fire and Highway Building.
As the Worcester Disaster Committee we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the merchants and citizens together with the Middleton Boy Scouts for making it such a success.
We wish to extend our thanks to the townspeople, Town Officers, and Department heads for their cooperation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
WILBUR C. RUNDLETT, JR. WILLIS W. ESTY JAMES H. COFFIN
