TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Report of Town Counsel
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Wakefield, Mass :-
Gentlemen :- As town counsel for the year 1919 I report as follows: At the beginning of the year the street railway situation occasioned seri- ous consideration because of the uncertainty surrounding its continued. operation, the Lakeside line having been discontinued in December.
Under your instructions I attended the hearings at the legislature on the many bills which would affect Wakefield and prepared briefs in two cases for the committees hearing the matters. By summer the rail- way was taken over by the public trustees who immediately indicated that the town must help financially if the Prospect Street-Montrose line. was to continue in operation. The town having voted against such help. that line was discontinued late in the fall. At the time of this writing notices are posted for the discontinuance of the Wakefield-Lynn line. The result is that many of our citizens have lost a service they have long been used to, and one existing, when they located their homes. The same situations appear to exist elsewhere over the system, and there is a. gloomy outlook for any improvement, at least, so far as the company's. ability is concerned; at any rate no improvement, but a decided loss has occurred, since the trustees assumed control, with respect to better service.
During the year four small claims have been settled, being Daley $50, Kelleher $79.50, Gilfoyle $34.50, and Mansfield $21.84.
An action in equity was brought by ten or more citizens to restrain, by injunction, the building of the Woodville school, but the court at two. hearings refused to issue an injunction.
Two compensation cases have had my attention, in one where there. was a death the maximum compensation is being paid.
The claim of Mrs. Amelia Orde, arising from a fuse block falling from a light pole and striking her upon the head, was settled for $2000.
There are pending against the town :-
One tort action for $2000, for alleged defect in way.
One tort action for $110 for alleged defect in way.
One equity suit in which decree for town has been entered. This. was to recover for aid given by overseers.
It is probable that the Statutes will be consolidated this year, which will make it desirable to revise the town by-laws for which a committee has been appointed.
Respectfully submitted,
M. E. S. CLEMONS.

REPORT OF TOWN PLANNING BOARD
T
Report of Town Planning Board
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Wakefield, Mass .:-
Gentlemen :- The Town Planning Board has this year organized and held. meetings as usual, but in view of the heavy, financial burdens lately put upon the town, does not feel justified in making any recommendations which would add to those burdens. It does, however, beg to again rec- commend that the town establish the grades on all of its accepted streets.
At the recent 275th anniversary celebration the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen noted the fact that the population of the town had doubled since our 250th birthday and predicted a similar increase in the next 25 years. If this proves true, the Planning Board, working with the town authorities, should have a large part in determining the character of this growth, whether haphazard and disconnected or well ordered, with . provisions for the convenience, health and happiness of all within our bounds.

REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES
The Trustees of the Beebe Town Library present the sixty-fourth annual report of the Board for the calendar year, 1919.
It is gratifying to the Trustees to be able to state that real progress has been made during the past year, looking toward the erection of the new library building. The library site committee was made the building committee. This committee met and chose a committee of five, con- sisting of Harris M. Dolbeare, Charles N. Winship, Arthur L. Evans, Richard Dutton, M. D., and Winfield S. Ripley, Jr., to act as sub-com- mittee on building, to confer with Mr. Beebe and the architect on details relating to the erection of the building. The committee has chosen Messrs. Hartwell, Richardson and Driver (of which firm Mr. James Driver is a member) as architects.
In addition to the very generous gift which the members of the Beebe family have already made to the town, on June 4, 1919, Mr. Junius Beebe deposited with the Wakefield Trust Company the sum of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000), to be known as the Junius Beebe Book Fund. «One-fourth of the yearly income of this fund is to be added to the prin- cipal, and the remaining three-fourths to be used for the purchase of "such books as the Trustees may deem best suited to the uses of said library in the instruction, education and pleasure of the people entitled to use the same."
In behalf of the citizens of the town the Trustees of the Beebe Town Library thank Mr. Beebe for his generous gift. The influence of such a deed is so far reaching that no one can estimate it.
On February 19, 1919, Mr. Walter O. Cartwright, who had been for seven years a Trustee of the Library died of pneumonia after a short ill- ness. The following resolutions on the death of Mr. Cartwright were prepared by the Trustees, one copy of which was sent to Mrs. Cart- wright and another was placed on the library records.

REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES
member of the Board of Trustees of the Beebe Town Library of Wakefield, and
WHEREAS, we, the members of the Board of Trustees of the Beebe Town Library are touched and grieved by the loss that has come to us,
BE IT RESOLVED, that in the death of Walter O. Cart- wright, the Public Library has lost the wise counsel of one who was a true lover of books; whose criticism of books, authors, and publishers was intelligent and sincere; who had the in- terest of youth at heart and the practical experience necessary to decide on books for young people; who had a large fund of information on all book lore, which was generously used to im- prove the conditions of the library and to increase its usefulness, and further
BE IT RESOLVED, that in the death of Mr. Cartwright the town has lost a citizen who was at all times loyal to his God, his Country, and his Home; whose courage in the hour of ad- versity was fine and high; and whose trust in Divine Justice and the goodness of God, the Father, never faltered.
In memory of her husband, Mrs. Cartwright has presented to the Beebe Town Library one hundred and seventy-five books (175) be- longing to Mr. Cartwright's private library.
A few weeks after the death of Mr. Cartwright, at a joint meeting of the Selectmen and the Board of Trustees, Mr. J. Theodore Whitney was unanimously appointed to fill the place on the Board made vacant by the death of Mr. Cartwright.
There have been a number of changes in the library staff during the year. October first, Miss Olive Eaton, who had been assistant librarian for a year, resigned, to accept a position in Malden. Later, Miss Luella Sidney was appointed an assistant. Miss Sidney is a gradu- ate of the Wakefield High School. She is well fitted for the position and shows much enthusiasm in her work.
Because of the crowded condition of the library during rush hours, the Trustees decided at the September meeting to open the library at 10 o'clock a. m. instead of 2 o'clock p. m. and to close at 8:30 o'clock p. m. every day except Saturday. This change, which went into effect the first of October, adds four hours to the library day. Since the change in hours some increase in the salaries of the library staff has been made, but even now they are in no way proportionate to the serv- ice rendered the town.
The small salaries paid to librarians all over the country have caused a critical situation in the administration of library work. Many librarians are resigning and it is impossible to fill their places. During the past year a circular letter was sent by the State Library Commission, urging trustees to increase the salaries of librarians in order to maintain a high standard of library efficiency.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Josephine Mansfield, chairman, began in January and was continued during the three winter months. The meetings were well attended, the total attendance being five hundred and fifty-six (556).
The library has received a number of valuable gifts during the year, among them a bust of Beethoven, presented by Mr. Eustace Fitz.
Wakefield has reason to be proud of her reading public. In the re- port two years ago, the Trustees called attention to the fact that there was a growing improvement in the choice of books; that the demand for light reading was decreasing, and that there was a steadily increas- ing demand for poetry, history, scientific and reference books. This continues true. It is also true that in spite of crowded conditions, the circulation of the Beebe Town Library continues larger in proportion to the population of the town than that of most of the surrounding towns. and cities. The report for the current year shows an increase in circula- tion of six thousand four hundred and thirty-one (6431) volumes, mak- ing a total circulation for the year of 82,558 volumes.
For the ensuing year the Trustees recommend for the library appro- priation five thousand four hundred dollars ($5400) including the dog tax.
ELIZABETH FRANCES INGRAM,
Secretary of the Board of Trustees.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
To the Trustees of the Beebe Town Library, the Librarian submits. the following report for the year, 1919:
The circulation is the largest in our history; 4,292 more than for any other year. In 1915 it was 78,266, this year, 1919, it is 82,558.
INCREASED BORROWING PRIVILEGE
Beginning June 1, 1919, the borrowing privilege was extended and two books of fiction may now be borrowed on a general card, only one. of which may be a seven-day book. This increased service is used fre- quently by the public and much appreciated.
WAITING-LIST POSTALS
Some people may not fully understand about the "Waiting-List Postals." If any person finds it difficult to get the book which he wants, a "waiting-list postal," purchased at the desk for one cent, will reserve that book the first time it is returned to the library and the postal will be mailed notifying the borrower. Any book in the library which cir- culates may be thus reserved.
GIFTS
A folio of engravings of famous paintings was presented to the libra- ry by Mrs. W. F. Carley of Greenwood. She also gave some books. The High School Debater was presented for the Reading Room. Other gifts are noted elsewhere in the report.
