Report of the Library Trustees.
TO THE CITIZENS OF WAKEFIELD :-
The Trustees, in their report a year ago, referred to the need of a library building for the better accommodation and enlargement of library work, and this need has still further manifested itself during the past year. Early in the year, the Trustees invited a member of the State Library Com- mission to visit the library, in the hope of securing advice which might be of benefit, but the point upon which he dwelt was the necessity for more room before any material advance could be effected. The present quarters could be advantageously occupied by departments which are now obliged to seek accommodations outside the town hall, and the appointment of a committee at the November town meeting to consider the matter of bringing all the town offices into the building, calls renewed attention to the va- cating of the present library room. While the town pos- sesses public-spirited citizens who may have in mind the gift of a library building, the Trustees have no knowledge on the subject, and hope before long the town itself may see fit to take action on the matter.
The general work of the library has been conducted on the usual lines, but three measures of special importance have been accomplished during the year :- The completion of the card catalogue, the printing of a supplementary cata- logue, and the improvement of the Greenwood delivery .
CARD CATALOGUE.
This was begun in 1900 umder the direction and supervis- ion of Miss A. I. Appleton of Winchester, who has carried on the work to its completion. The cards have been writ- ten by the librarian and her assistant, and the work has been done without closing the library, and without interruption to
284
the circulation of books. The Trustees incorporated in the supplementary printed catalogue an appreciation of the faithful and conscientious labor of those who have accom- plished this work, from which they quote as follows : "The trustees have been most fortunate in securing for the super- vision of the cataloguing, Miss Augusta I. Appleton of Winchester, a recognized expert. Her love and devotion to library work, and her kindly and helpful interest in those with' whom she comes in contact, cause regret that her work in Wakefield is nearly completed.
The cards have been carefully and handsomely written by the librarian, Mrs. Harriet A. Shepard, who has given much extra time to the work. Although a mammoth undertak- ing, it has been accomplished with cheerful and persistent enthusiasm.
It is with much pleasure that the Trustees of the Beebe Town Library publicly express their appreciation of the ser- vices which Miss Appleton and Mrs. Shepard have thus ren- dered the library cause in Wakefield."
The card catalogue now has all the books of the library indexed under the author, title and subject, with necessary cross references to make it most useful. No book has less than two cards and many require from ten to twenty cards to properly set forth their contents. In addition to this complete catalogue, an index of juvenile books has been prepared, also a duplicate index of new books, to serve as copy for a possible future printed catalogue. The cards may be readily adapted to the re-shelving, which would be necessary on the removal of the library to other quarters. Special appropriations, amounting to $650, have been made by the town for this work, of which a small balance remains unexpended, and has been turned into the treasury.
PRINTED CATALOGUE.
The original printed catalogue of the library was issued in 1887, and an additional one in 1896. The card catalogue
285
is sufficient for use at the library, but it seemed desirable to print for home use, and especially since the establishment of the Greenwood delivery, a supplementary catalogue, continuing to date the previous lists. Such a one has been compiled by the librarians and printed, so the contents of the library may now be found in the
Original catalogue, containing books to 1887, Supplementary catalogue, containing books to June 1, 1896, Second “ 66 66 " Oct. 1, 1905.
The three catalogues may be obtained at the library for twenty-five, fifteen and ten cents, respectively, and their possession will be found a great convenience to its patrons.
The Trustees expected to ask for a special appropriation for printing the new catalogue, but by a careful use of the funds the expense, $170, has been met out of the general appropriation, reducing, however, to this extent, the amount available for the purchase of books.
GREENWOOD BRANCH.
The Greenwood Branch, at the new school house, has been open on Monday and Thursday afternoons from 3.30 to 5, and since November 29 it has been open on Saturday evenings from 7 to 8 o'clock ; through the courtesy of the school committee, gas having been placed in the delivery room. Miss H. Gertrude Lee has had charge of the station, and has aroused a real interest among the citizens of Green- wood, so that the delivery of books has increased from 217 in January -1905, to 689 in January 1906, and during the past year 4778 books have been delivered, the largest num- ber in any one day being 81. The Trustees gratefully acknowledge the hearty co-operation of the School Commit- tee and the teachers of the Greenwood school in making the Branch a success. A room, or rooms, centrally located, supplied with the best current magazines and a reasonable number of reference books, would also afford better facilities
286
for the delivery of books, and would be of unmeasured value in aiding the better growth of Greenwood. The Trustees have under serious consideration the establishment of such a room in the future. Looking toward such a plan, the Trustees recommend the purchase of a number of reference books the coming year to be used in the present quarters. It will also be desirable to purchase for the use of the Branch duplicate copies of many of the more popular books.
READING ROOM.
The Reading Room is well supplied with papers and peri- odicals, which find many readers. An attendant is kept in the room during the hours of its greatest use, also on Sun- day afternoons, with good results. The room was opened on Christmas day for a few hours, as an experiment, and ar- rangements will no doubt be made for its opening on holi- days hereafter.
APPROPRIATIONS.
For the Reading Room, the Trustees recommend the same appropriation as made last year, $250. For the library, in view of the fact that the Greenwood work will require an increased expenditure the coming year, especially if books are purchased for use there, as proposed, and the further fact that not enough money has been spent for new books in the past, the Trustees recommend that the amount of the dog tax be appropriated and the sum of $450. This would make the amount to be raised by taxation for Library and Reading Room purposes $700, the same as raised last year, no further appropriation now being necessary for card catalogue.
In behalf of the Trustees :

THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Board of Water Commissioners
OF THE
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING JANUARY 31, 1906
290
Water Commissioners' Annual Report.
The third annual report of the Wakefield Water Board contains a financial statement for the municipal year, from Feb. 1st, 1905, to Jan. 31st, 1906, and a summary of con- struction work. It includes detailed accounts of the re- ceipts and all expenditures for materials and labor. There is also presented, a brief financial summary of the plant, from its acquisition by the town to the present date, in or- der that the citizens may realize the financial value of the water plant to the town.
The tables of the quantities of water pumped show a large increase during the past year. The number of water takers is constantly increasing and many new fixtures are being added to the old services, thus raising the average amount of water consumed per capita of population. The mains have been extended to some of the streets hitherto without water supply, and the fire protection has been im- proved by the installation of eighteen new hydrants, in lo- cations approved by the Fire Engineers.
There are numerous applications for further extensions of the system, and the water board believe that the sanitary as well as the taxable prosperity of the town should be ad- vanced by complying with all reasonable demands for extensions, a proper water supply being one of the first considerations in locating a modern dwelling house.
The new boilers have been installed and are first class in every respect. All pipes and fittings connected with the pumps and boilers, have been renewed, substituting brass in place of iron, and the pumps have been renovated, thus
291
placing the pumping plant in a much safer condition and better able to perform its important service.
All domestic consumers were allowed a discount of ten per cent. on the last semi-annual bills, if paid within fifteen days after the bills were due. It is proposed by the board, to continue this discount during the coming year, as the in- come appears to warrant the same.

In placing the contract for two horizontal tube, overhang- ing front, 120 h. p. boilers, with the Hodges Boiler Co., we were particular to specify, (in view of the recent calamity at Brockton) that only the best of material should be used, and that the construction should be first class in every re- spect. Also, that all of the same should be subject to the supervision of the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and In- surance Co., from start to finish. In this connection, the following reports will be of interest :
Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Co.
The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company make the following report of the condition of your steam boilers inspected on the 23d day of August, 1905, by Inspector C. H. Morse.
Two H. T. Boilers Pumping Station.
BOILER SHOP TEST.
The material of these boilers was examined previous to the construction of the boilers, and was found to be proper- ly stamped, the identification marks agreeing with the cer- tificate of test of plates. The construction was found to conform to the requirements of the specifications.
Suitable hydrostatic pressure was applied, under which no leakage or distress was noted. Boilers were stamped on
298
front heads above tubes with the numbers H. Co. 20483 and H. Co. 20522, and are approved as complying with the specifications.
