After consulting the Lynn Gas and Electric Company, our present source of light, and receiving their proposition for a renewal of the contract, and also consulting the officials of the so-called Welsbach Street Lighting Company of America, whose demonstration lights are now on exhibition in our streets and whose proposition we also have for supplying the Town with street lights.

Report of the Committee on Article 35.
Your committee appointed to report upon Article 35 considered carefully the matter of a Memorial and Library Building. They first investigated the advantages and the cost of an estate in the near vicinity of the Town Hall. This project did not commend itself to us. Nor can we recommend the purchase of a lot for a building. The only practicable scheme, which appeared to us was the possible extension of the wing of the Town Hall towards Claremont terrace. Two sketches were prepared for a one and for a two story building to cost respectively $5,000 or $6,500.
Such plans we are ready to present if voters desire the same.
GEORGE A. R. HORTON, EDWARD A. MAXFIELD, JOHN R. MERRITT, GEORGE A. JACKSON.
Voted, To accept this report, and that it be laid on the table.
Report of the Committee on Enlargement of the Town Hall.
Your committee to whom was referred the recommendation in the Selectmen's Report in regard to the enlargement of the Town Hall, after careful consideration, would advise the purchase of the " Mrs. Morris Estate " for future enlargement, instead of buying in the rear. As there was no appropriation recommended, we cannot do anything in regard to the purchase. Your committee has obtained a price for one-half of the land and building, and an option on the remaining part of the estate, and as the one- half of the estate is liable to be sold in the near future, your committee recommends that a Town Meeting be called at once to act upon this matter.
