REPORT OF HIGHWAY SURVEYOR.
Railings.
From the appropriation of $400.00 a balance of $0.67 is left. New steel railings were set on West Main, Central and Mechanic streets.
This coming year, I would advise the painting of all railings, and many need immediate repairs.
Bridges.
The appropriation was $2,000.00. Two new cement bridges were constructed, namely, one at Swedish Village, and one on the old Eastford road. We have fifteen wooden and five steel bridges that would need immediate repairs. Four are in very poor condition, and are respectively located at Vinton street, Westville, Sandersdåle and Brickville.
I have suggested to the Financial Committee that an appropriation of $4,000.00 would be necessary, as cement bridges are needed in some places.
Sidewalk Repairs.
The appropriation last year was $2,000.00. A very small balance is left. New strips were laid on the most important streets; namely, Main, Hamilton, Pleasant, Elm, Everett, Chapin, Worcester, Morris and Charl- ton streets.
With the civil engineer, I have taken a survey of the repairs needed next year, and found a total amount of over 2,600 square yards. A few hundred feet of

curbing are to be reset. The Financial Committee will figure for the amount of the appropriation.
Forest Fires.
I herewith present you my report as Chief Fire Warden for the year ending Jan. 1st, 1915. I have issued, during 1914, eleven fire permits to burn brush in the open. These fires were properly attended to so that no harm came from them. Forest fires have been more numerous this past year on account of the dry weather. The expenses amounted to over $1,000.00 for twenty- six fires. It became important for the town to get a better equipment and, with the advice of the State Forester, I purchased four power spray pumps with hose connections for the same.
The chief cause of all these fires is due to the care- lessness of fishing and hunting parties. campers, child- ren strolling out in the woods or on the highways. People should refrain from throwing lighted matches, pipe ashes, cigars and cigarettes on the ground, thus saving damage to property and expenditures to the town.
Under my care as Forest Warden, also comes this year the enforcement of the "Slash Law", relating to the disposal of slash or brush following wood or lumber operations. I wish to ask everyone who carries or will carry on woodland operations in this town to report the same to me. stating the name of the operator, and the nature and extent of the operations. I have to report the same to the State Fire Warden. Whoever

neglects to comply with the directions of the fire warden is liable to a fine, according to the law that went into effect Jan. 1st, 1915.

REPORT OF THE SEALER.
During the year I have made several inspections of ice, coal, butter, milk-jars, bread, berry boxes, ice cream, etc., and I am pleased to state that the dealers are getting to be more careful in their dealings with the public.
There are, however, a few country peddlers who do not seem to give much attention to the change in the law which took effect April, 1912, prohibiting the use of dry measures for the sale of certain commodities at retail, and a warning is given that, if they are caught, they will be prosecuted to the extent of the law.
The inventory of the Sealer of Weights and Meas- ures' department made December 29, has given the following result: $258.80. Daniel T. Morrill, Eugene Gabree, Joseph Lafleche, Appraisers.

F. GATINEAU, Sealer.
Report of Special Committee Concerning New Police Station For the Town of Southbridge.
At the annual adjourned town meeting held on March 11, 1914, it was voted that the moderator ap- point a special committee of five to look up a site, and prepare plans for a police station and court room, and report at a future town meeting.
In accordance with the above vote, the committee- A. Boyer, Jr., George Grant, J. C. Wells, Napoleon Giroux and Herbert E. Wells-has had frequent meet- ings and has discussed at length the available locations for the building.
The committee has had in mind first that the site for the building should be near to the business center of the town and, therefore, convenient for the town officers and for the uses of the building and also that the site should not be excessive in cost. The commit- tee has considered that its recommendation should be in line with economy, so far as possible, realizing that the town is facing many expenditures for public build- ings and works that each should, therefore, be held within most reasonable limits.
The committee believes the site of the present
192
REPORT OF POLICE STATION COMMITTEE.
police station is unsuitable in many ways, chief among them being its restricted dimensions and the consequent impossibility of providing the essential light and air and desired surroundings.
The most desirable site, in the opinion of the com- mittee, is the site of the present Main street primary school building. This site offers most desirable condi- tions as to size and location and surroundings. A recommendation to the town, however, that this site should be taken for the new police station would neces- sitate the providing of a new primary school which, although without doubt much needed at this time, would be, nevertheless, beyond the scope of this com- mittee to advise. If it should be the sentiment and decision of the town to provide a new primary school in the immediate future to take the place of the Main street school, this committee would recommend the use of this site for the new police station with confidence that such a recommendation would be for the best interests of the town. Unless such a decision should be made in the immediate future the committee is not able to recommend this site.
Eliminating the two sites above mentioned, the committee has taken under careful consideration the site of the present town barn in Goddard court and believes that this location presents a number of advant- ages and has all the requirements which are lacking in the present Central street site. The Goddard court site is of ample size and is conveniently located and open on all sides. The grade of the land is such that a large, roomy basement may be had suitable for the
193
REPORT OF POLICE STATION COMMITTEE.
housing of equipment in keeping with the general pur- purposes of the building. Upon this site the commit- tee believes a good, substantial building might be erect- ed and one that need not be expensive in character, yet suitable in every way. It would be a favorable loca- tion, in the opinion of the committee, for a court room and such other rooms or offices as would accommodate the needs of the police station service, and it is the opinion of the committee that such rooms should be provided for in a new police station.
The committee, therefore, recommends the use of the Goddard court site now occupied by the town barn for the purpose of the new police station, and desires also to recommend that any money received from the sale of the present town barn and any money received from the sale of the old police station should be placed to the account of the new police station and used for
that purpose. With this site already owned by the town and with the funds derived from the sale of the present barn and of the old station, it is thought by the committee that the appropriation for the new police station need not be a large one.
Believing that the plans for the building should be made to suit the location selected, the committee be- lieves it best to await the action of the voters upon this report before submitting any plans.
Respectfully submitted, J. C. WELLS, Chairman, ALEXIS BOYER, JR., GEORGE GRANT, NAPOLEON GIROUX, HERBERT E. WELLS.

Librarian's Report.
The circulation of books during 1914 amounted to 45,840, an unusually large increase over the preceding year, in which 41,487 volumes were circulated.
460 Volumes have been added to the library, of which 52 volumes were gifts. We are at present cir- culating twice as many books as we did a dozen years ago, therefore books wear out and need to be replaced much sooner. If we were at present to buy new copies of all the books which are needed, there would be little money left to buy new books. From the Mynott fund,
202
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE
the library is buying the New International Encyclo- pedia, considered by most people the best general en- cyclopedia published. A list of French books ordered from Paris three months ago, has not as yet arrived. The Library Committee voted to return to the U. S. Government and to the State all public documents more than ten years old, as well as all documents which did not meet the needs of our people. We have therefore disposed of 2,872 volumes. The library now contains 21,897 volumes.
Our circulation had outgrown our old method of charging books and it seemed inadvisable to begin in the new building with a system which would necessarily have to be replaced soon. A new system of charging was therefore inaugurated during the past summer, a method which requires a pocket pasted in every book and a card written for each book. In order to accomplish this work, it was necessary to have the aid of four additional assistants for more than a month.
At the same time, a new registration of borrowers was begun; it is necessary to revise the list every few years in order to have an accurate list of borrowers, with their addresses. Since the new registration was begun in May, 1849 names have been registered at the library.
Not unnaturally, most people believe the taking in and the giving out of books to be the whole work of the library. They are unaware of the endless details which are necessary to bring about the apparent sim- plicity with which the desired book is, or books on a desired subject are, placed in the hands of a reader.
203
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE
Every book, before it can be placed in the hands of a reader, must be selected, ordered, accessioned, shelf- listed, classified and catalogued. And very soon alas, it must be mended. Overdue notices and reserve notices must be sent. The day's circulation must be filed and counted. Books must be returned to shelves and shelves read to keep books from being mis-placed. Once a year account of stock is taken. All of this is only a part of the technical work which must run smoothly if the circulation of books is to run smoothly.
50 Italian books were loaned to us by the Free Public Library Commission in August and have had a large enough circulation to more than prove the advisa- bility of our buying a small list of books in Italian as soon as our funds will permit. We have bought books both in Italian and Polish on hygiene and on the United States, as well as a number of books to help foreigners to learn English.
A duplicate set of the books of required reading in the 5th to the 9th grades has been purchased, and these books are kept for the exclusive use of the pupils of the various grades.
A course of lectures on the new books was given during last winter by Mrs. Marble of Worcester in the home of several of our townspeople and all money taken in above expenses was used for the purchase of books for the library. 19 Volumes were thus added.
143 Volumes have been rebound and 57 volumes of periodicals have been bound.
204
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE
Through the Library Art Club, the following ex- hibitions of pictures have been given: Art for the nur- sery; Buckingham Palace; New York; Renaissance doorways; Iron and Steel; City of Pisa; What Grand- mother wore; Bridges; The Tyrol; Days near Rome; How we have bread to eat; Lumbering; Joan of Arc; Balloons and Aeroplanes. The Cosmopolitan and Harper's weekly have been dropped from the periodi- cals in the reading-room and the following have been added: The Independent, American City, Engineering magazine, National Geographic magazine.
We are hoping soon to enter the new library building, which is being built for the Town by the heirs of Mr. Jacob Edwards and we would urge every citizen of Southbridge to come to see the new building and to use it; to use the reading-room, with its seven- ty periodicals and comfortable chairs and good light for reading books as well as magazines; to use the reference-room, where we are always ready to help you find what you wish to know; to use the newspaper- room, with its Boston and New York, Springfield and Worcester, French and Christian Science, as well as Southbridge papers; to take out books and magazines for home reading-books which will broaden your lives, as well as increase your knowledge and ability.
