GIFTS.
The most important gift of the year was a fine oil portrait of Amos S. White presented by Mr. Edmund S. Hunt as a memorial to his friend who was a member of the Board of Trustees from its organization until his death, and a faithful clerk and treasurer for most of that period. It is the work of a distinguished artist, E. Aubrey Hunt, whom the citizens of Weymouth can claim with pride as a fellow townsman.
Books and pamphlets have been received from twenty-eight different sources ; the Weymouth Gazette, Weymouth Transcript, Our Dumb Animals and Woman's Journal, from the publishers ; and The Musician from Mr. Gutterson.
Annual reports, bulletins and other publications, which are ap- preciated, have been received from thirty libraries.
The trustees, herewith, acknowledge these gifts and thank the donors, a list of whom is given in Appendix A.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
At the close of twenty-five years it is fitting that some notice should be taken of the work of the library during that period.
The Tufts Library, made possible by the gift of Quincy Tufts and his sister, Miss Susan Tufts, with the help of generous citi- zens and the liberality of the town, was founded in 1879, opened to the public on the first of January, 1880, and has now com- pleted its twenty-fifth year.
During this time 23,501 volumes have been catalogued and pre- pared for circulation. 1,419,657 books have been loaned for home use, an average of 56,786 each year and 187 each day, being a yearly delivery of 5.17 volumes for each inhabitant of the town, a good record comparing favorably with the work of other libraries.
The most notable gift to the library was $2,500 from Amos W. Stetson to be called the Susannah Hunt Stetson Fund in memory of his mother ; the income to be used for the purchase of books.
The trustees and librarians have tried to keep informed as to the new methods and improvements in library movement which
216
has taken such strides during the past ten years, and as far as the appropriations would permit, have endeavored to give the best service possible.
An intelligent borrower remarked recently, "What should we do without the library now? How could we have any literary clubs or do any real study?" This shows how much the library is appreciated by those who remember what it was to be without its advantages.
Good work was done in the old building, but the new building completed in 1892, with its modern accommodations, has enabled better work to be accomplished in all directions.
The books in the reference department are on open shelves, but free access to the circulating department, although desirable for adults, cannot be granted without an entire readjustment of the book cases, or better still, new cases. The great expense this would entail does not warrant this change at present. As a special privilege, access to the shelves may be allowed on indi- vidual request. Four hundred books in the revolving and child- ren's cases, in the Delivery Room, partially fill this need.
The use of the books is allowed all visitors while in the build- ing, but only residents of the town can borrow the books for home use. Each borrower may take two books at one time pro- vided one only is of the class fiction. Teachers, clergymen, stu- dents, members of study clubs and all those needing the privilege are given students' cards on which additional books may be bor- rowed.
The librarians are always glad to serve the patrons in every possible way, in reference work and in the selection of books, but would suggest that extra assistance can be more conveniently given on other days than Saturdays.
The library now starts on a new period of growth and, to keep abreast of the times, to do the work for the community that is demanded from a wide awake, progressive public library today, needs more than ever the generous support of the town.

WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
JANUARY 1ST, 1905.
The Board organized March 17th, 1904, by the choice of Douglas M. Easton, Chairman ; Frank H. Torrey, Clerk and Register ; John H, Stetson, Treasurer.
John E. Hunt was chosen Collector at a salary of $235.
I. M. Low continues as Superintendent at a salary of $700.
Miss C. E. Briggs continues Clerk at the office at a salary of $450.
C. B. Cushing continues as Accountant at a salary of $200.
C. B. Klingemann continues as Engineer at the Pumping Station at a salary of $1,000.
In rendering our report to the tax payers of the town of Wey- mouth, we feel compelled to bring to their attention a few of the many things which, if remedied, would, in our opinion, be of great benefit to all.
It is right and proper that every tax payer should know as con- cisely as possible the condition of the water system, to the end that he may know by judging from the past what may be reason- ably expected in the future.
FINANCE.
The question of financial management always stands out pre- eminently before every Board, whatever be its name.
Our Water Taxes are due April 1st and October 1st.
The Collector, by giving due notice, sits at designated places in the town to receive payments which are then due; during the past year but little, in proportion to the total amount to be col- lected, has been paid to him on those dates, consequently it be- came necessary for the Collector to visit in person or else have dunning letters sent from the office.
The laxity in paying these taxes has caused, at times, some anxiety to the Board, and the problem of how to get in the money has caused much discussion. We have the authority to shut off
228
· the water, you say : true, we' admit it; yet circumstances are sometimes such, that by so doing, it would create hardships, and we feel compelled to be lenient in many instances ; but with the majority, it is a case of because the Water Works are owned by the town they feel as though they should be permitted to pay whenever it suits their convenience.
It should not be so.
Pride in the welfare of the town, if nothing more, should induce us to pay promptly, thereby reducing our indebtedness as well as saving the interest on the bonds, which is of importance to us all.
A careful perusal of the financial statement as submitted by the accountant demonstrates that the most stringent economy consis- tent with keeping the system up must be observed.
Our source of revenue has reached nearly its limit, there being only some seventy houses, some in obscure places, that have not been piped, and some one hundred and fifty houses where pipe is laid but who do not take water, and but very little in addition in the way of new buildings.
REBATES.
The question of rebates has become a serious one, which we shall be obliged to deal with during the coming year with a firm hand. We shall require of every owner, that immediateiy his tenement becomes vacant, or that does not use hose or discontin- ues to use any faucet heretofore charged, that he shall at once report all such changes to the office ; negligence to so do will not be accepted as an excuse, and no rebates will be allowed.
LABOR AND MATERIAL.
This item, based on pure and simple accommodation, has in the last two years become quite a factor in our department.
This year we were obliged to purchase an extra horse, wagon and pung in order that we might meet the demands of our citizens. Our charges are without profit ; barely do we meet our expenses.
If it is the desire of the people that this branch of our depart- ment be carried on in the future, less fault finding regarding our charges and quicker responses regarding the payments of same must be met with, or this branch will go out of existence.
The reason your Commissioners have brought these several items so forcibly to your attention is, that it is their desire and
229
ambition to place the Water Department, not only on a self-sup- porting basis, but one of pride and profit to us all.
Your hearty co-operation we must have to accomplish our aims. We trust we shall receive it.
POND.
Taking advantage of the regulations issued by the "State Board of Health " the sanitary conditions around the pond have been much improved; yet there is much that could be done to prevent the pollution of the same, namely, to acquire by purchase or otherwise, a portion of the land around the pond as suggested by the Commissioners of 1903.
ELECTROLYSIS.
Our Supt. has frequently called our attention to the danger likely to be met with by the electric current escaping from the Street Railways to the water pipes, reference to which he has made in his reports. We have arranged to have an electric survey made and to determine as near as possible, what damage is being done.
Water pipes in this and other states have been much damaged from this cause, hence we have considered it prudent to take time by the forelock and place the blame, if any, where it belongs.
METERS.
"Having always been in favor of meters, this inspection makes me stronger in favor of them. Meters are also inspectors ; people will keep their fixtures in repair and stop the waste; they will pay for all they use and no more. "
The above we take from the Inspector's report of Dec. 31, 1903.
We may heartily endorse the sentiments expressed by him and are convinced that a meter system would be the most equitable way of supplying the takers, but as it would incur a large outlay, we do not feel that it would be prudent to adopt it at present, further than to place all consumers other than for domestic pur- poses on meter, which we have decided to do on April 1st, 1905.
By referring to the report of our Superintendent will be found the condition of the Pumping Station as well as the Works in general.
230
A new boiler has been installed and we have on hand quite a lot of pipe ready for use should occasion require.
An appropriation of $3,000 is asked, for the purpose of making further constructions as may be deemed necessary for the ensuing year, also an appropriation from the revenue of the Works to be applied as follows :-
