REPORT
OF THE
ENGINEERS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN :- I have the honor to submit to you my first annual report of the department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1899, and the twenty-third of the present organization.
At the beginning of the year the department was under the control of five engineers, as follows : Otis Cushing, chief ; W. O. Collyer, clerk : Edward Fahey, J. R. Walsh and W. H. Hock- ing. On May 1 Edward Fahey was elected chief of the department.
The department consists of 168 men, divided into seven hose companies, fonr hook and ladder companies, three men detailed for each steamer and five for the chemical.
The apparatus consists of seven hose wagons, four hook and ladder trucks, two steam fire engines, and one chemical.
There has been added this year as per vote of the town, one hook and ladder truck in Ward 3. The apparatus is all in good repair with the exception of the truck in Ward 1, and as that has passed its usefulness, we would recommend a new truck to be purchased for that Ward.
BUILDINGS.
The buildings are in good repair with the exception of the house in Ward 2, which needs new floors and hall needs painting.
184
FIRE ALARM.
The fire alarm is in good condition at present ; a number of changes have been made during the year, which have added greatly to the safety of the wires, as they are not now as likely to come in contact with the electric light wires.
There are a number of places in town where, should a fire occur, there would be quite a delay in giving the alarm and serious loss in consequence ; the lumber yard, for instance, as the nearest box is 38, located at the library building. We would recom- mend the purchase of five boxes to be located in different wards.
ALARMS.
Whole number of alarms during the year as follows :
Ward 1, 17.
Ward 2, 18.
Ward 3, 15.
Ward 4, 7.
Ward 5, 8.
Of these two were false alarms.
Two second alarms were sounded.
The loss of property in Weymouth this past year was $26,032.48.
APPROPRIATIONS.
We recommend the following amount for expenses for the year : Salaries of fireman, engineers, stewards, and super-
intendent of fire alarm
$2,600 00
Poll taxes of firemen refunded
336 00
For fires and engine house supplies
1,900 00
Hose
500 00
Fire alarm supplies
700 00
Five new alarm boxes
500 00
$6,536 00
The forest fires this year have been very expensive having cost nearly $450.00 and we would ask for $300.00 for that purpose.
185
I wish to call your attention to the large number of fires we have had this year, the cost of hiring horses alone amounting to $669 00.
HOSE.
We have purchased this year 1,000 feet of hose, but we are still in need of 1,000 feet more.
Before closing I wish to thank the members of the Fire Depart- ment for the prompt manner in which they have performed their duties and for the courtesy they have always shown me. I also wish to thank the other members of the Board for their co-opera- tion in all matters of business and your Board for the courtesy shown me and the members of the Board in all business transac- tions in which we have been connected.
Yours respectfully,
EDW. FAHEY, Chief.

Violations of the liquor laws are the hardest of all crimes on which to obtain convictions and as years of enforcement go on, the people who are engaged in the illegal traffic become more cau- tious. We search their premises and find no liquor, but find it on the adjacent premises. No one claims it, therefore you cannot connect anyone with it. You can get evidence in any other crimes, but it is very hard to get anyone to give evidence against a liquor dealer.
During the year the people have suffered a great deal from hen thieves. We have succeeded in arresting the parties. Two are . now serving sentence in the House of Correction and two are held for the Grand Jury.
We have been assisted in our work by the following officers : Pratt, Peare, Pease and Allen.
Respectfully submitted, THOMAS FITZGERALD, PATRICK BUTLER, Special Officers.
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE TUFTS LIBRARY.
The twenty-first annual report of the Board of Trustees of the Tufts Library is respectfully submitted to the town of Weymouth, as follows :-
During the year 1899, the library was open for the delivery of books on 303 days ; the whole number of bound volumes loaned for home use was 56,137, averaging 185 volumes per day and 4,678 volumes per month.
The largest number of loans made in one day was 378 volumes on the 20th day of April, and the smallest number in one day was 8 volumes on the 8th of February, the day of the "Blizzard ;" 26,193 volumes were circulated throughout several agencies, as follows :-
Precinct 1, Bartlett's store 5,506
Precinct 1, Holden and Sladen's store 2,376
Precincts 2 and 6, Salisbury's store 9,585
Precincts 2 and 6, Bates and Humphrey's store 2,410
Precinct 4, Pratt's store 1,550 .
Precinct 4, Nash's store 2,687
Precinct 5, Fogg Memorial Library
2,079
26,193
Late in the year arrangements were made to send books regu- larly to the High school, in the belief that the disadvantage arising from the distance between the present location of that school and the library might be obviated, and that both teachers and pupils would appreciate this effort for their accommodation.
190
WORK WITH THE SCHOOLS.
The teachers have borrowed 3,681 volumes on their special cards. This does not by any means give a true estimate of the work done by teachers in connection with the library, for sugges- tions of good books for the pupils to borrow on their own cards are made by many of our best teachers. School life is short, but the benefit to the pupils cannot be measured, if, during this period, they have learned to make good use of a library which is available to them for a lifetime. The teachers of the higher grades are cordially invited to visit the library with their pupils to instruct them in the use of catalogues, indexes, and bibliographies, for, to quote from a circular issued by the National Educational Associa- tion : "Children must be trained to use the library as they are trained to do other things. Pupils should learn to read with economy of time by making use of page headings, table of con- tents, reviews, Poole's Index, card catalogues and other helps."
On April 5th, by invitation of the librarian, a reception to the Weymouth teachers was held at the library. This was a success socially, besides being beneficial in acquainting the teachers with the resources of the library, particularly with the books especially adapted to help them in their school work.
The books on nature study, of which the library has a large number, received marked attention. A list of books on birds and plants and useful to teachers may be found in Appendix "C."
REGISTRATION.
The number of borrowers to date, since the new registration, is 3,461, an increase of 432 during the year; and, as 122 of these borrowers were given the special non-fiction card, the number of cards issued during the year was 554.
EXAMINATION OF THE BOOKS.
The annual examination of the books was made as heretofore, with the result that ten volumes are unaccounted for, and three volumes have not been returned after the usual notices have been sent to the borrower, but these will not be counted as lost until
3802
191
more drastic action for their return has failed of securing them. Two volumes counted as lost in a previous report have been returned during this year. The examination also showed that many of the more popular books are badly worn, rendering it very desirable that they be replaced with new copies.
The work of mending and covering the worn and torn books has increased, each year, until it has become a material item in the expense of maintaining the library.
CLASSIFICATION OF CIRCULATION.
Arts, .036 ; Biography, .022; Fiction, including Juvenile Fic- tion, .696 ; History, .037 ; Literature, .026 ; Natural Science, .027; Poetry, .015 ; Social Science, .011; Religion and Theology, .003 ; Travels, .035 ; Periodicals, .092.
ADDITIONS TO THE LIBRARY.
The number of accessions to the library to date is 20,113-803 volumes have been added during the year. Seventy-four volumes are gifts. The magazines bound and placed on the shelves num- ber 142, and 587 volumes have been purchased, 98 replacing those too badly worn to be retained for circulation.
Persons wishing books not in the library are requested to give the titles to the librarian, to be presented for the consideration of the Book Committee. When purchased, which is usually done if practicable, the applicants will be notified, and given an oppor- tunity to read the books before they are placed in circulation.
Many notifications of such purchases have been sent the past year. When popular books, such as David Harum and Richard Carvel, are suggested no notice is sent,-the number of applicants for such books being too large. In some libraries it is the custom to purchase many extra copies of popular works of fiction, and loan them to those who are willing to pay a small sum per day for the privilege of receiving the desired book sooner than any of the regular copies can be obtained. This has not been deemed advis- able in our library.
Free access to the shelves in the book-room would undoubtedly be a convenience to many borrowers, but with present arrange-
192
ments, it is impracticable to grant it. Students in special lines of study will be allowed this privilege upon application to the libra- rian.
A case, containing interesting works of fiction for adult readers, has been placed near the charging desk ; which has brought to the attention of borrowers, some of the best, though not the most re- cent fiction, and has proved a help to the librarians, as well as to the lovers of good novels.
Some of the more valuable books added to the library during the year are : Adams' in Nature's Image, Bell's Cathedral Series 3 volumes, Berenson's Venetian Painters of the Renaissance, Davis' Ornamental Shrubs, for Garden, Lawn and Park Planting, Régamey's Japan in Art and Industry, Singleton's Great Pictures as Seen and Described by Famous Writers, Apthorp's By the Way : short essays on music and Art, Chopin's Pianoforte-Werke, volumes 4-6, Mendelssohn's Werke für Pianoforte, Schubert's Songs, Chase's Screw Propulsion, Durand's Resistance and Pro- pulsion of Ships, Hawkins' New Catechism of the Steam Engine, Seaton's Manual of Marine Engineering, Walton's Know Your Own Ship, Watson's Naval Architecture, Knackfuss' Monographs on Artists, 4 volumes, Smith's Life of Henry Drummond, Ford's Many-sided Franklin, McCarthy's Reminiscences, Lee's Life of Shakespeare, Mass.

WORK WITH THE CLUBS.
The librarian reports to the trustees that many members of the several literary clubs in town have indicated their high apprecia- tion of the value of the library to them in aiding their researches ; and she cordially invites the committees of such clubs to make the library their headquarters while preparing their yearly pro- grammes ; tendering every possible help to them in learning the full resources of the library on their various subjects of inquiry ; and by the use of bibliographies and the catalogues of other libraries aiding them to learn of other books which would be of special value to them, and could be suggested for purchase. Since the foregoing was written the trustees have learned, much to their gratification, of the liberal donation, to the library by Mr. Amos W. Stetson to constitute a " Memorial Fund" in tribute to his honored and, beloved mother, Mrs. Susannah Hunt Stetson, the income of which is to be devoted to the purchase of books for its use, and they fully expect from this most timely gift, to be able, yearly, to furnish to the library, for the benefit of the more scholarly of its borrowers, a very considerable addition to the class of books especially desired by them.
CATALOGUES.
While the current accessions are made known to the public suf- ficiently by means of the list published in the "Weymouth Gazet
194
with the annual bulletin, the need of some general catalogue is felt by all who use the library. It is the desire of the Trustees to publish as soon as possible a Classed Finding List, issuing it in parts. The first class which it is expected will be printed during the com- ing year will be fiction. It is hoped that so many copies will be purchased that the issuing of another class may be warranted soon.
READING AND REFERENCE ROOM.
No account has been kept of the use of these departments or of books loaned for reading or study in the library. Many of the most interesting and valuable periodicals are to be found on the tablés. The following magazines have been added during the past year : L'Echo de la Semaine, an excellent weekly in French text, the gift of Miss S. M. Loud ; Masters in Art, each number devoted to one noted artist, containing a short biographical sketch with illus- trations and interpretations of his most noted paintings ; the Out- look, a weekly, valuable for its articles on current events ; Photo- Era, one of the best inexpensive magazines on photography, and Self Culture, an illustrated monthly.
We have continued to receive the Musician from Mr. Gutterson, Rev. Henry Snyder has loaned the Congregationalist, Miss Park- man has supplied 84 issues of the Boston Daily Advertiser and Mrs. Blake furnished the Electrical World, until June.
A complete list of periodicals received may be found in Appen- dix A.
Miss Annie F. Loud has presented 73 numbers of her musical compositions and Mr. Howard M. Dow, 3 volumes and 75 num- bers of his. They are resident musicians whose works we are glad to receive.
The library has received also gifts of books and pamphlets, a list of the donors of which may be found in Appendix A.
ART EXHIBITIONS.
Membership in the Library Art Club, at the small cost of $5 annually, has enabled the libra.y to give five exhibitions in the Reading Room during the past year. The first two were of pho-
195
tographs illustrating the architecture and art of the historic city of Florence. The pictures were beautiful and gave pleasure to many. The others, the Central Caucasus, wonderful scenes of snow capped mountains, the Views of Western and South-western scenery in our own country, and Prang's Library Loan Collection of the Great Artists were enjoyed by many visitors.
