Total circulation figures for 1949 at the main library show an increase of 2,677 over 1948. This was due en- tirely to an increase in the Junior Dept. It is an interest- ing point that in the Adult Dept. while there was a slight decrease in fiction circulation, there was an increase in non-fiction circulation.
For patrons who wish to use books that this library does not own, request may be made for books on inter- library loan. In 1949, 55 such requests were made. Of the 55, we were able to borrow 41 from other libraries or from the Division of Public Libraries, State Dept. of Ed- ucation.
In March, the charge for the "duplicate pay" books was raised from .05 to .10 a week. Books in this collection are second copies of the more popular books.
Miss Ann Lucas, of the library staff, continues to be in demand by various organizations for her book reviews. She has given several this last year, besides addressing
-168-
the Parent Teachers Association in January on Children's Books and Reading.
The Burton-Cornish Parent Teacher Association held its regular. November meeting in the Children's Room of the Library. Miss Lucas spoke on Methods and Activi- ties in the Junior Dept., the Librarian spoke on Books for Teachers and Parents, and Mr. Welch, principal of the Burton-Cornish School, spoke on the importance of the child's extra-curricula reading.
During the last year the number of Art Exhibits at the library by local artists has increased considerably. Some have been by individuals, others by groups. There have been exhibits of paintings, drawings, photography, sculp- ture, and pottery. The fluorescent lighting is a large factor in making the displays so attractive.
In 1949 there were no changes in the library personnel. We have not held as many staff meetings as we would have liked because of schedule complications. But next year, with careful planning, we hope to have a staff meet- ing every other week. The purpose is to give staff mem- bers instruction in library techniques, to keep all in- formed about new developments and new additions to the book collection, to discuss ways of giving better ser- vice, and to try to solve the problems that are continually arising.
JUNIOR DEPT. at MAIN LIBRARY. Miss Ann E. Lucas, Librarian.
Besides showing an increase in circulation, the Junior Dept. also shows an increase in registrations- 77 more than in 1948.
During the school year there were 27 deposits of at least 20 books each that were sent upon request of the
-169-
grade teachers to the school rooms for varying lengths of time.
During the summer vacation, reading was encouraged by awarding State Reading Certificates to those readers who qualified.
Several story hours were given during the year with either Miss Lucas, or Mrs. Rae of the staff, in charge. All were well attended.
During Book Week in November many classes from the grades in the Public Schools came with their teachers to the Junior Room to inspect the display of new books.

Circulation for 1949 shows an increase of 7,202 over 1948, the Junior Dept. being responsible for most of the
-170-
increase. This gain is due largely to the very practical cooperation of Mr. Smith, principal of the Hedge School. In the fall of 1948 he requested a school deposit of books to be operated by the pupils in the 5th and 6th grades as a "Branch Library". This venture proved to be entirely successful, the pupils taking turns acting as "librarian" and all experiencing a greatly increased use of books.
Mrs. Figmic has been greatly helped in handling this large increase in circulation by the efficient help of her assistant, Mrs. Inez White, and also by having a type- writer as part of the library's permanent equipment since early in the year.
Loring Branch has been fortunate in having the vol- unteer services of Mrs. August Hunicke, a Simmons Col- lege graduate in Library Science and a former Children's Librarian. She has been conducting a Story Hour every other Monday afternoon, that has proved very popular with her youthful audiences.
Loring Branch has many Italian and Portuguese readers, many of whom have read all of the library's books in these languages. For these readers, the Libra- rian often borrows new titles from the Division of Public Libraries, State Dept. of Education.

REPORT OF HARBOR MASTER FOR 1949
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
The season of 1949 was the busiest since I have been Harbor Master with the Boston Belle, fishing boats and visiting yachts coming here.
My records show that 7,121,000 pounds of fish were landed during 1949, a reduction of 734,000 pounds due to the fact that there was no mackerel in Cape Cod Bay last summer.
I recommend that the fish wharf be rebuilt and that Bartlett Pond be made the headwaters for the alewives of Manomet stream.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen:
During 1949, all street trees were sprayed three times as a measure against Dutch Elm Disease. We were very fortunate this year to have been loaned a Mist Blower from the state which was a great help.
The work of pruning will be carried on as usual.
Tree planting was held up last year on account of ex- treme dry season, we plan a great deal this year.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN A. KENNEDY, Tree Warden.
REPORT OF GYPSY AND BROWN-TAIL MOTH DEPT.
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen :
The Gypsy Moths were very active this year, some 3,500 acres were infested, the usual measures were taken. However, we did spray 827 acres with aircraft this year.
I am very happy at this time to say, with the help of the County, State and Federal government, we hope to spray Plymouth and the larger part of Plymouth County.
The larger part of our spray program next year will consist of helping in the program in any way we can.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN A. KENNEDY,
Moth Supt.

REPORT OF THE TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen :
The work was carried out this year, the fire lanes were harrowed, and a great deal of thinning was done, with the advice of our District Forester, Charles Cherry. The whole area of 281.75 acres will gradually be done, until the forest is all done. Therefore we recommend the appro- priation of $1,000 for 1950.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN A. KENNEDY, Chairman JAMES A. WHITE, GEORGE L. GOODING,
Town Forest Committee.
REPORT OF THE FOREST WARDEN
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my report for the year 1949.
FIRES
This year we reported to the State 67 fires, nearly double of last year's report. The average fire being less than one acre.
The department laid 4,275 feet 11/2" hose; 16,800 feet 11/8" hose, Water from booster tanks 48,500 gallons. Miles
-175-
traveled 13,210.4. Outside calls were to Carver and King- ston for help.
CONDITION OF WOODS
When dry weather, the condition is very serious and the hazard to our forest land is extreme.
We hope, with the help of the airplane that will patrol on bad days, the fires will be kept to a minimum.
EVERETT B. WOOD,
Forest Fire Warden.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON INLAND FISHERIES
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
It is still the aim of this Committee to bring back the white perch fishing to where it was prior to five years ago; and for the past three years we have extended all our efforts in that direction.
Due to two mild winters in succession, our ponds have remained open, thus allowing American Mergansers commonly known as "Pond Sheldrakes", to feed freely on our freshwater fish. To offset this loss, and to further promote a healthy increase in our pond fish, your Com- mittee requests that the sum of three hundred dollars be appropriated for such purposes.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEER
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen :
During 1949 surveys and layout plans were made for Castle St. Ext., Atlantic Ave., Braunecker Rd., Emerson Rd., Arlington Rd. and the corner of Nelson and Court Sts. These layouts were accepted by the Town at the an- nual meeting in March. Also accepted as Town ways were Park Rd. and Seaview St. The engineering costs of the latter two streets were paid for by the Plymouth Cordage Company.
Surveys and plans were made for the purchase by the Town of land at Town Brook and for the lease by the Town of land in Manomet for playground purposes.
A plan was made for the conveyance of Town owned land on Boutemain Ave. to Weldon J. La Voie.
A street numbering plan of Nicks Rock Rd. was made and house numbers assigned.
Sewers were designed and laid out for South St., Mt. Pleasant St., and Nicks Rock Rd.
A total of 107 permanent concrete bounds were set un- der the supervision of the Town Engineer in the street lines of the following streets: Russell Ave., 4 bounds; Castle St., 14 bounds; Atlantic Ave., 6 bounds; Court St., 6 bounds; Braunecker Rd., 3 bounds; Warrendale Rd., 6 bounds; John Alden Rd., 28 bounds; Priscilla Rd., 16 bounds; Emerson Rd., 10 bounds; Arlington Rd., 10 bounds ; and 4 bounds at Cedarville Cemetery.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR 1949
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
The high degree of efficiency is still maintained as will be seen by this report. Fire Prevention has been stressed and will be enlarged upon during the coming year. The Department answered 414 Calls: Box Alarms 79; Still Alarms 300; Radio Alarms 35, and False Alarms 5.
BUILDINGS
All buildings are in good repair with but a few small repairs still required at the Central Station. The Recre- ation room has been completely remodeled and all floors laid with tile or linoleum.
FIRE ALARM
Reports of the past years show the need of repairs to the Fire Alarm system including the outside fire alarm wires. More alarm boxes should also be installed. The Switch-board and Repeater at the Central Station should be replaced.
REPAIR DEPARTMENT
The efficiency of the Repair Department, as has ex- celled in the past, is of such great value that it must be maintained for the benefit of both the Fire and Forest Fire Departments.
-178-
RADIO
Radio F. M. sets are in good condition and we hope to add one this year. They are of great value to both the Fire and the Forest Fire Departments.
