REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The Library is fulfilling its purpose so far as is possible. We have tried the experiment suggested by the State Library Associ- ation, of purchasing several copies of books most in demand. One is placed on the shelves for free circulation. The others are loaned for five cents per week, and are called seven-day books. If retained more than a week, the borrower is charged two cents per day, as per the regular rule. Many who desire the new books as they appear appreciate the new plan. While meaning to secure the best in the new fiction, we also provide books of travel and adventure and valuable reference books. To our list of magazines we have added the Literary Digest. During the year the following volumes have been donated :-
"Cost of Living in Massachusetts," "The Melvin Memorial," "Pathfinder of Discovery and Invention," "Conference of the Health Officers of the United States," "Massachusetts Minute Men of '61," "World Corporation," "Bacon is Shakespeare," "Massachusetts Monuments," "The Newell Relic and Curio Hall of Franklin, Mass.," "Ireland's Story," "Dedication of the Statue of Rear Admiral John A. Winslow," "Dedication of the Statue of Major-General Nathaniel P. Banks," "Encampment of Depart- ment of Massachusetts G. A. R. 1910."
A catalogue of books added during 1910 will be ready in a short time. That, with a recent purchase of books, will substantially reduce our surplus.
Number of books on shelves, 5,446; loaned to individuals, 7,549; loaned to schools, 89.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.
TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN:
I hereby submit to you the following report of my work as In- spector of Animals for the past year. March 8, 1910, a cow was placed in quarantine under suspicion of having tuberculosis, and, after being examined by an agent of the Cattle Bureau, was found tuberculous, killed, and stable disinfected. In April a cow was shipped from out of the State to this town. She was tested before shipment, and the test papers came along with the cow. These papers were sent to the Chief of the Cattle Bureau, but for some reason he had the cow quarantined and tested by an agent of the Cattle Bureau. She was found to be all right, and was released May 2. A horse was quarantined under suspicion of having farcy. This was examined by an agent of the Cattle Bureau, who ordered him killed or rendered. It was killed and rendered and stable disinfected. May 6 a horse was quarantined under suspicion of having glanders, examined by an agent of the Cattle Bureau, who found him all right, and was released. July 2'4 a cow was placed in quarantine under suspicion of having tuber- culosis, examined by an agent of the Cattle Bureau, who found her to be tuberculous, was killed, and stable disinfected. July 25 another cow was placed in quarantine under suspicion of having tuberculosis, examined by an agent of the Cattle Bureau, found to be tuberculous, was killed, and stable disinfected. September 2 another cow was quarantined under suspicion of having tuber- culosis, examined by an agent of the Cattle Bureau, but was re- leased. October 13 a horse was quarantined under suspicion of having glanders, examined by an agent of the Cattle Bureau, and was released. In October, as usual, instructions were received from the Chief of the Bureau to make a complete inspection of all neat cattle, sheep, goats, and swine, and stables in which they are kept. During this inspection 67 stables were visited, in which were kept at time 570 cattle, 2 goats, 16 sheep, and 742 swine. These animals were apparently in a healthy
22.95 22.0 2.42 95-
54
condition, and I did not find cause to quarantine any of them, which is something I never did before when I made a complete inspection. January, 1911, orders have been received from the new Chief of the Cattle Bureau to make another complete inspec- tion of all neat cattle, sheep, and goats and swine, and stables in which they are kept.
Yours respectfully, GEORGE S. CHENEY, Inspector of Animals.
