Several books were also added in September for the benefit of the non-English speaking people, especially children. It was the aim to have them as elementary as possible and of an historical nature. It is to be hoped that these books will serve as a nucleus to a much larger collection in the future.
The demand for books seems to be increasingly more varied, especially on non-fiction subjects, and many additions during the year have been by request, a practice which the Trustees have en- deavored to encourage.
During August a metal ceiling was put into the Library, which greatly improves its appearance. While these repairs were being made it was necessary to close the Library, but arrangements were made for returning books to the Reading Room Attendant during the regular Library hours, and fines were temporarily suspended.
Miss Ruth Gowen resigned Aug. 1, 1912, and Miss Emma L. Campbell was appointed Assistant Librarian. At the same time Mrs. Katherine Madden was appointed as an Attendant.
204
The circulation has now exceeded 54,000, as will be seen from the Librarian's report, and is the largest in the history of the Library.
The Trustees feel it their imperative duty to again call the at- tention of every citizen to the inadequateness of our Library quarters and the facilities "for handling such a large circulation. Under present conditions it is necessary to constantly rearrange the books in order to make more room, a procedure which creates much confusion and means low efficiency. Many books are also not available, owing to storage on top of the book cases and in other parts of the building.
During the coming year it will be necessary to provide, if possi- ble, new shelving in the delivery room. The practice of placing books within easy access and where patrons of the Library can make their own selection, is much appreciated, and it is the desire of the Trustees to extend this practice so far as the limited space permits.
The continued growth of the Greenwood branch emphasizes the appreciation of the people in that section of the town for the placing of the facilities of the Library within easy reach. Your Trustees believe that it is only a question of time when branches in other sections of the town, notably Montrose and Woodville, should be equipped with branch libraries.
Among other needs which the town must soon face are the morning opening of the Library, and sufficient assistance to the Librarian to enable her to take a more active part in the purchase of books and to keep in touch with the work and methods of other libraries. A constant attendant for the Reading Room is necessary to preserve order at all times and to eliminate some of the troublesome features of the past year, such as loss of maga- zines and abuse of the furniture.
These needs, as well as others mentioned in previous reports, require more money, and it is the opinion of your Trustees that the appropriation for the coming year should be increased so as to enable a gradual expansion of our Library and Reading Room. The receipts and expenditures of the past year are as follows :

For the ensuing year the Trustees recommend for the Library the appropriation of $2,050, including the dog tax, and for the Reading Room $275.
The Board desires to testify to the faithfulness and efficiency of the Librarian and her Assistants, all of whom are heartily in accord with the work and upon whom much of the success of the Library depends. The interest of the Librarian is shown by membership in the Massachusetts Library Club and by frequent visits to the Massachusetts Library Commission, all of which . have been extremely helpful and productive of many new ideas.
Respectfully submitted,
HERVEY J. SKINNER,
For the Trustees.

OF THE
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1912
214
Third Annual Report of the Water and Sewerage Board
The annual report of the Wakefield Water and Sewerage Board is herewith presented, including the tenth annual report of the Water Department and the thirteenth annual report of the Sewer Department.
The total receipts of the Water Plant for 1912 $38,579 69
Ordinary expenditures 33,972 49
Surplus
$4,607 20
For use of Metropolitan water
3,060 51
Net surplus
$1,546 69
At the annual meeting the town appropriated $15,000 for me- ters. One thousand four hundred and forty-seven meters have . been purchased, the greater part of which have been installed.
Another appropriation will be required to purchase the remain- der of the meters and complete the work of installation.
The town having decided to continue the use of Crystal Lake, we recommend that an appropriation be made for improving the lake and its tributaries.
The niatter of driven wells being prominently in the minds of the people of the town, an appropriation, sufficient to thoroughly test that phase of the water situation, should be made.

In addition to the above construction work, 144 feet of 6-inch main was laid, late in the fall, in a part of Greenwood Avenue. where Mr. L. J. Gordon had built a house, not knowing that there was no water main in the street. This work was done with money advanced by Mr. Gordon, under an agreement that the same should be returned to him from the construction appropria- tion of 1913.

Report of Overseers of the Poor
The Overseers in presenting their annnual report for the year just passed are pleased to state that they have carefully attended to their duties, and all applications carefully considered, and all worthy people have been provided for.
In looking over the buildings at the almshouse we found them in need of immediate repair, and these repairs were carefully at- tended to. The almshouse was wired and electric lights placed in every room and all the halls, and all oil lamps removed from house. All the buildings at the farm were painted with two coats of paint and incidental repairs made, so that the almshouse prop- erty to-day is in good condition, and the board wishes to extend an invitation to the public to inspect the property at any time.
All the repairs and painting were taken care of by their annual appropriation.
At the present time there are twelve inmates at the almshouse, seven male and five female, all of whom are aged and feeble and require constant attendance and medical assistance.
