REPORT OF Engineers of Fire Department
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen.
GENTLEMEN,-It becomes our duty to submit to you our annual report for the year ending December 31, 1907. The report will be found to contain statements, giving the number of men in the department, a record of all fires and alarms which have occurred during the year, with the names of the owners and occupants, the loss and insurance as near as could be ascertained, also an inventory of all property of the department.
The department consists of Chief Engineer, two Assistant Engineers, 40 regular men, 8 call men, Superintendent of Fire Alarms, 3 hose wagons, I hook and ladder truck.
Apparatus.
The apparatus is in fairly good condition with the exception of the hook and ladder, which needs to be painted. We recommend the purchase of two pairs of horses and a chemical engine.
Hose.
There are 7,950 feet of 22-inch cotton hose, rubber lined, classified as follows : First quality 2,000 feet, second quality 4, 200 feet, damaged hose 1,750 feet.
We do not recommend the purchase of any hose, as the sup- ply seems ample for the present. We recommend the repairing of the damaged hose which can be done at a small expense.

We desire to tender our sincere thanks to The Honorable Board of Selectmen, for interest manifested and support given to the department.

TWENTIETH ANNUAL REPORT
OF. THE
Trustees of the Public Library.
In submitting their annual report the trustees regret to say that their prayers for more room and less crowded quarters have not been answered during the year that has passed and none of the embarrassments have been lessened. Only about sixty square feet of floor space is available for the public. The book stacks are top heavy with books that should be placed elsewhere. The usefulness of the library is greatly impaired by this condition of affairs.
Not quite as many books have been purchased during the past year as in some previous years owing to a smaller library appro- priation.
The delivery of books to the outlying parts of the Town was discontinued last April because of the small number of books delivered in that manner, the small appropriation and the fact that most of the patrons from those parts preferred to come directly to the library for the books.
As in a majority of town libraries the percentage of works of fiction loaned outranks all others. Care is taken in the selection of works of fiction.
We would urge upon parents the importance of keeping a careful supervision over the reading matter of their children. A certain proportion of solid reading should be required of them
184
PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORT.
with reasonable regard to their age and capacity. An abundance of books may be found in the library in the departments of history, biography and popular science, eminently suited to supplement the education our children are receiving in the public schools.
About twenty exhibits of pictures from the Library Art Club have been received during the year, all of which have been very interesting and instructive. In connection with the exhibit of the Hiawatha pictures, readings from the poem were given.
The usual gifts from the Government at Washington including a large map of the United States, which cannot be used owing to lack of space in which to hang it, also from this Common- wealth were received all of which are interesting and valuable, and with better facilities these gifts would be available to the general public. In our crowded condition not much use can be made of them.
Our grateful acknowledgments are due to the following persons from whom donations of books and pamphlets have been received during the year : N. M. Hawkes of Lynn for a handsomely bound and beautifully illustrated copy of "The Great Woods of Lynn ;" Mrs. L. Bradish of Boston, for a copy of Science and Health ; Mr. Clarence Coates for two interesting books.
Mrs. Fred C. Cheever, Mrs. Kate Foster, Miss Mary Thayer . and Miss Emma E. Newhall for magazines.
A collection of Indian arrow heads, found in Saugus and Stoneham, have been purchased; these are mounted on card board and labeled and have attracted a good deal of attention. Mr. Charles Walker has presented two shoemakers polishing stones, found on what is called the Neck. Mr. Fred Tirrell has presented some good specimens of dendrite rock. Bertram Nickerson gave an alligator's tooth. Our collection of curios, birds, shells, etc., seems to be much appreciated by visitors, and patrons of the library.

Report of Cemetery Commissioners.
We have, by using the strictest economy, managed to get through the year 1907 on our appropriation of $2,400, but in view of the fact that we have got to do a lot of work the coming year in order to get what few lots we have in condition to sell we do not see how we can do so unless we are allowed at least $200 more this year to work with, and we would recommend that the appropriation this year be $2,600 (twenty-six hundred dollars). This last year, as you will see by our Superintendent's Report, we have turned back to the Town the sum of $2,236.25. This amount together with the amount of $462.65, bills out- standing Dec. 31, makes the total amount of business done $2,698.90 ; deducting $597.25 received for sale of land and the net amount of business was $2, 101.65, this amount deducted from the appropriation of $2,400, leaves $298.35, actual amount it has cost to run our department for 1907.
