The Loan. The Town borrowed $3,500 at 5 per cent, giving 10 serial notes therefor of $350 each, payable one each year until all are paid.
At a later period we borrowed $10,000 at 4 per cent, giving ten serial notes of $1,000 each, payable annually until paid. We received a premium on our notes of $42.14.
The Driveway. Owing to your vote instructing us to provide furniture and omitting the formality of making an appropria- tion therefor, we were unable to build a suitable driveway.
(The road commissioners estimate that it would cost $300.)
Delay. We contracted and expected to have the building finished nearly a year earlier. but were disappointed in one of the contractors, who did not complete his work. and we acted under the advice of counsel in our delay.
Auditorium and Stage. We do not know of a town of our size that can equal us in these.
Offices. The offices are convenient for the transaction of the town's affairs.
Vault. A commodious fire-proof vault has been provided, built according to the wishes of the Commissioner of Public Records.
Library. We have given you two large rooms for a library. Something the town has long desired and needed.
Mistakes. While we have made mistakes-not having built Town Halls before-yet we call to your attention the fact that we have kept within the appropriations ; that we have made good our promise to "construct a building of which none would be ashamed, that would be convenient and suitable for the uses of the officers and citizens of our town."
And we congratulate the inhabitants of Carver on having a
-57-
modern building constructed in accordance with their wishes.
Dining Room and Kitchen. We have provided a commodious and convenient dining room and kitchen for your uses.
The Carver Old Home Week Association store their dishes in the capacious closets in our kitchen.
Other Necessities. We have provided Hot-air Heaters, Flush Closets, Pneumatic Water System, Modern Plumbing, etc.
Thanking you for the confidence reposed in us, and assuring you that any further instructions you may give will be executed to the best of our ability,
We remain,

REPORT OF TRUSTEES PUBLIC LIBRARY
We are pleased to state that we are located in the Library rooms of the new Town Hall. We have purchased furniture and erected stacks at a cost of a little over $300.
We have been obliged to use some of the Rosa Cole fund for the same.
The cabinet of the Sealer of Weights and Measures which has been given a place in the reading room of the library has been made very attractive by the addition of glass doors and a coat of paint.
We, as library trustees, recommend an appropriation of $200 for library expenses for the ensuing year.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS, 1914
Last year when the appropriation was made for Parks we planned for the setting of shade trees on the "Green" at North Carver and a few in other places in town where we thought it was needed. This and other work planned was not done which resulted in our having a balance in our account of $130.52. We have laid plans to complete this work early this spring. The work on the shore of Sampson's Pond was not finished and a small additional outlay there, will, we believe, make the ap- pearance of this parkway a credit to the town. This piece of property has for a great many years been in the McFarlin fam- ily and has now been deeded to the inhabitants of the Town of Carver as a gift through the generosity and public spirit of
-62-
Mrs. Sarah F. McFarlin, with the understanding that it shall be used as a public parkway.
