The demand for the first and second grade books for children has increased. These books were put in the library as an ex- periment without additional appropriation and it will not be possible to continue them on the present appropriation. The books wear out more quickly than books handled by adults and require frequent renewals. These items call for increased appropriation.

For the ensuing year the Trustees recommend that the appro- priations of the library and reading room be consolidated and that the appropriation be $2,715.00 including the Dog Tax. At the request of the Town Accountant the fines and other library receipts are to be returnable to the town and the estimate for appropriation covers those receipts. The receipts have always been a part of the funds used by the library and this method simply gives them to the library in another manner.
The working force of the library has been unusually efficient this year and it needed to be, with the extra work entailed by the increased circulation and the reclassification of the fiction. The Librarian, Miss Lee, merits all that can be said of her; businesslike, economical, with good ideas and the ability to execute them. The library is fortunate in having such a head.
Respectfully submitted,
W. S. RIPLEY, Jr., for the Trustees.

FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
LIBRARY
HI.B. MASS.
Water and Sewerage Board
OF THE
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1914
146
THE FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WAKEFIELD WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
The annual report of the Wakefield Water and Sewerage Board is herewith presented, including the twelfth annual report of the Water Department and the fifteenth annual report of the Sewer Department.
The total receipts of the Water Department for 1914 $43,322. 67 Total Expenditures 39,842.48
Balance $3,480.19
There is an unpaid bill, for the use of Metropolitan· water, amounting to $7,800.00 for which an appropriation will be required at the annual town meeting.
There are water bills due the town from the Town of Stoneham and the Municipal Light Plant amounting to $201.35, also unpaid service bills amounting to $75.87.
There are balances of appropriations that go back to the town of $1,753.16, from water and sewer departments.
There are unpaid bills against the water maintenance account of $629.77. During this year we have thoroughly overhauled and repaired the standpipe at a cost of $1,087.58.
After months of study and investigation in relation to the method of water sterilization, with a view to meeting any bacterial conditions that might come from heavy rains, we in- stalled, in July, 1914, a chlorine sterilizing machine, obtained from the Electro Bleaching Gas Co. of New York, on a sixty days trial. After careful tests for more than a month, on September 3, we turned on the water from Crystal Lake. During a period of nearly five months, having taken about fifty analyses of water from taps at buildings in various parts of the town, the average bacteria in the tests at 20° C. were twelve bacteria and at 37.5° C. were six bacteria, B. Coli negative, B. Coli presumptive negative, Gasses 0000, and Acid colonies absent.
Since January 4, 1915, there have been almost continual thaws and rains, washing the water-shed clear of snow and ice and causing a rise of two feet of water in the lake. This is perhaps the best test and the one especially looked for by those who doubted the efficiency of the sterilizing process. The results
147
of the analyses, during this rainy period, which greatly increases bacteria in all waters and largely increased them in Crystal Lake (showing B. Coli in a few lake samples), was as follows:
The analyzed water from taps in Wakefield at 20° C. were an average of fourteen, at 37.5 C., an average of eight bacteria, with B. Coli and B. Coli presumptive negative and no gases or acid colonies, also absence of dangerous bacteria. The result of these careful analyses prove that the sterilization readily and easily eliminates B. Coli and other harmful bacteria, and must increase the value of all water supplies, as it is rapidly coming into use on both large and small supplies in the United States and Canada. Certainly no other water supplied to any community, that we know of, can show any safer conditions.
Our Chemist, Mr. Robert Spurr Weston of Boston, a well known expert, sends the board the following letter:
14 Beacon St., Boston, Jan. 6, 1915.
Wakefield Water Board,
Wakefield, Mass.
Gentlemen. - In reply to your question regarding the general sanitary character of the samples of water supplied your consumers, as evidenced by the samples which I have been analyzing frequently since last summer, I would reply that since August 1, 1914, every sample which I have analyzed has contained very few bacteria, none of which were harmful forms, or those known to be associated with sewage contami- nation. The very few bacteria have been far less in number than those in the Metropolitan water, samples of which I have analyzed at your request from time to time.
It is my opinion, therefore, that since August 1, 1914; which date followed that of the installation of your chlorine plant, every sample of the water sup- plied to your consumers, which I have analyzed, has been absolutely safe to drink.
Yours respectfully.
ROBERT SPURR WESTON.
148
Our Sanitary Engineer, Mr. Edward C. Sherman, who has been very faithful to this trust, frank and outspoken in his re- ports, indorses the process emphatically, as seen in the following extracts from his report :
"The supervision of the plant for sterilizing your water supply was intrusted to me on September 3, 1914, and I have the honor to submit the following report on its operation since that time.
"I have made forty visits to the pumping station, an average of ten a month, for the purpose of reading the gages on the apparatus, insuring the use of the proper amount of chlorine as determined by the analyses of the water, and collecting samples of the water from the lake and from taps for bacterial examination. Sixty-eight such samples have been taken, twenty-seven of the raw lake water and forty-one of the treated water from various places in Wakefield.
"The quality of the water and its suitability for public use is determined by the number of bacteria in it.
"I say, without qualification, that the treated water supplied to the consumers, as shown by the samples analyzed, has been entirely safe for domestic use since September 3."
We make the report of these facts so that professional men as well as laymen can form their opinion, coupling these with other facts obtained from the local Board of Health figures, which show that the health of the town was never better in all condi- tions that might be attributed to the use of water.
The portions of this report relating to the sterilization of the water supply are submitted by the Chairman and Secretary of the board, the other member not agreeing to the same in all respects.
