April first, Mr. J. Theodore Whitney resigned from the Board of Trustees, and in July, at a joint meeting of the Trustees of the Library and the Select- men, Mr. J. Oliver Beebe was elected to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Whit- ney's resignation. The Trustees are glad to welcome to the Board a member of the family whose generosity to the Library has been shown in so many ways.
There have been few changes in the Library staff during the year. In June Miss Luella Sidney resigned to enter the teaching profession, and in October, Miss Olive L. Eaton, a former assistant, was engaged as a regular assistant.
The Trustees realize that in order to maintain a high standard of library efficiency, they must have a well-paid library staff, accordingly some increase in salaries was made during the year, but even now they are in no way proportion- ate to the service rendered the town by the Librarian and her assistants.

REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES
The work of the Story-Telling Hour for children, carried on by a committee composed of members of the Kosmos Club, was continued on Saturday morn- ings in the Reading-room during the three winter months. The meetings were well attended, the total attendance being five hundred and seventy-two (572).
In spite of crowded conditions, the circulation of the Beebe Town Library continues to increase. The report for the current year shows an increase in circulation of three thousand seven hundred and sixteen (3,716) volumes, making a total circulation for the year of eighty-six thousand two hundred and seventy four volumes (86,274).
For the ensuing year the Trustees recommend for the Library appropriation seven thousand two hundred and forty dollars ($7,240.00) including the dog tax.

Secretary of the Board of Trustees.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
To the Trustees of the Beebe Town Library, the Librarian submits the fol- lowing report for the year, 1920.
The circulation, as already mentioned, is the largest in our history.
The demand for books for little children is constant and increasing and these little books have increased, often doubled, in price.
This year a definite effort has been made by teachers of the upper grades of the grammar schools to encourage supplementary reading. To help meet this extra call, a number of books, both new and duplicate, have been purchased, chosen from lists approved by the teachers.
It is suggested that as many of the adult patrons as possible exchange their books early in the day, avoiding the confusion of the extremely crowded con- dition which often occurs from three to five o'clock in the afternoons.
The reclassification, begun in 1914 and pursued under difficulties, especially of crowded conditions in the stacks, is finally completed.
Many requests for books have been received and most of the books purchased, a service which the library patrons much appreciate. Our increased book income from trust funds has made this possible.
1
Bundles of books and magazines have been contributed by citizens and for- warded to the Boston Public Library for distribution to sailors and hospitals.
Various gifts have been received. Mrs. Walter O. Cartwright has presented many attractive elementary books for children, Miss E. E. Ayers gave over a year's file of Mentors, unbound, some books and pamphlets of historic value were presented from the Edward Mansfield estate ,and two historic books of Wake-

From the above figures it will be seen that the Department has turned back to the Town in the past two years a net profit of approximately $11,150.00. Natur- ally the question may now be asked: "Why have not our water rates been reduced?" In answer to this, the Commissioners would remind the Town that the Department was forced to show a. considerable loss (between $8,000.00
.
Expenses
.
91
REPORT OF THE WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
and $10,000.00) as a result of the freeze-ups during the Winter of 1917-1918. According to the law under which the Water Department is organized, it is the duty of the Commissioners to so regulate the water rates as to provide a sufficient income to meet all expenses, and hence it was necessary to continue the present rates until such a time as the Town had been fully re-imbursed for the abnormal expenses of that year. This deficit has now been taken care of, and with a decrease in the cost of coal, pipes, meters and other materials, and with no unusual expenses during the Winter, we may properly look forward to a reduction in our water rates in the near future.
New Construction
During the past year the street mains of the water system have been extend- ed 7,277 feet (nearly 11/2 miles). Part of this construction was called for by the bond issues voted by the Town for Lakeview Park and Crystal Lake Park, and the balance was covered by our regular construction account.
These new mains make water service now available to some 45 or 50 houses, with the prospect that fully as many more will eventually be added by new build- ings on lots now vacant in these sections.
Re-laying of Mains
Breaks will occur in the water pipes of any system, and even with the closest inspection, breaks will frequently occur in pipes that are new. This year we have had 21 breaks in our mains, but it is noticeable that all of them have been in the old cement pipes. In our report last year we called attention to the ne- cessity of making plans to re-lay certain definite sections of these old mains each year. It is safe to say that the 21 breaks in 1920 cost the Town $1,500.00 in repair money, and hence the Commissioners are making plans in this year's budget to start on a definite program of relaying streets and sections of streets which are now giving trouble. A start has already been made by the re-laying . of 700 feet of pipe on Vernon St. A section of the old cement pipe on Lakeside near Cordis Street has given us 5 breaks this Summer, and should be one of the first parts of the system to be renewed.
Emergency Supply
During the Summer we have made connection between our water mains and those in the water system of the City of Melrose. This was done at Ren- wick Road, at a very small expense. The Commissioners now propose to con- nect our mains with the water system of the Town of Reading at Bay State Road. This connection can be made at an expense of about $1,200.00, for which sum we have made provisions in our construction account. When this is done, the Town will be provided with 3 emergency sources, in addition to our own Lake:
(1) Direct Metropolitan connections through Stoneham.
(2) With the City of Melrose system at Renwick Road.
(3) With the Town of Reading system at Bay State Road.
92
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
It is well to note also that Melrose and Reading are both in turn connected with systems adjacent to them, so that shortly Wakefield will be tied-in with the entire water system of greater Boston through its connections on the North, . West and South boundaries of the Town.
Sewer Department
Under the bond issue voted by the Town, 1,677 feet of 8 inch tile sewer pipe have been laid on Lake Street and Broadway, making sewer service available to about 45 houses in this vicinity. On account of the great amount of blasting and the freezing weather, it was thought best in the interests of economy not to entirely complete the work on Broadway until Spring, when it could be done under more favorable conditions. The balance of funds in this account will permit the extension of the sewer up Broadway about 50 feet more and bring it approximately opposite the residence of Miss Mary Kalaher.
In view of the general discussion as to sewer service for the East side of the Town, we would make note that a considerable extension of the sewer mains in this section was considered some years ago. There is now on file in the Sewer Department a plan drawn by O. K. Morgan, Engineer, October 1, 1900. The Sewer Commissioners at that time were William H. Lee, William B. Daniels, and George M. Thompson.
This blue-print covers our entire sewer system and provides especially for all that part of the Town on the slope East of Pleasant St., parts of Montrose, and the section East of the Center Station. The slope of the land in this area is such as to make it necessary to collect alı sewerage at some low place, and then to lift it, or pump it up to, a level where it may flow by gravity into our regular system. This particular blue-print calls for a low-level pumping station in the swamp off the intersection of Valley and Hart Streets. From this station the sewerage would be forced through the mains up Valley, Hart and Nahant Streets as far as Traverse Street, from which point it would then flow by gravity into the regular sewer mains on Main Street.
The present Commissioners have not as yet decided whether this particular plan is now applicable to conditions in this section of the Town. It is quite clear, nevertheless, that a very extensive system will be necessary to make ample provision for the district, and the amount of money in any such project will be much greater than the sums we have heard mentioned.
Respectfully submitted, C. H. LEARÓYD, A. S. HILL, H. M. WHEELER.
