Much repair work has been done in the Art Room where it was sadly needed, also more funds have been available for Books and general needs of the Library. It is the desire of Trustees .to bring the Library to a much higher standard of efficiency and use- fulness. That this is being accomplished to some extent is mani- fest in the more general patronage of the Library, especially by the younger generation who have had our most earnest consideration.


Much valuable work has been done by our able Book Com- mittee under the leadership of Mrs. Martha E. Smith who has at her command an unusual amount of knowledge and information pertaining to this line of work.


FINANCE


Some few changes have been made in the invested funds of the Library in the last two years. It is the intention of the Trustees to eventually have all the funds in the so-called Legal class, but we have not been too hasty in making all this change, preferring to wait for a favorable opportunity as the remaining stocks and bonds not in the Legal list are reasonably good and we hope to turn them more favorable later on.


We have been successful so far in making changes and have increased our funds by several hundred dollars as indicated by our Savings Bank account.


The Trustees desire here to express their esteem and their appreciation of all who have in any way helped to make the past


103


year so successful.


The Trustees hope that the generous support given the Law- rence Library will be continued.

BRIDGES


The money spent on bridges is a permanent job. Two bridges have been built, one on Oak Hill road over what is known as Sucker Brook. One on Brookline St. over what is known as Sucker Brook.


These bridges were built of Areo Culvert Pipe and cement.

SIDEWALKS


New construction on Main St. which appeared to me one of the most necessary and dilapidated spots with substantial guard fence.


There have been approximately two hundred and fifty loads of quary dirt and ashes put on sidewalks on Groton, Railroad, Mill. Cross. Franklin. Cresent. Tucker and Hollis Sts.


GENERAL OILING


The same ground was covered as was on the 60-40 basis with the addition of Prospect. Bennett, Leighton, Foster and Franklin Sts.


GENERAL OILING


Approximately one half of the street has been scarafied and resurfaced with Tar. With the same treatment this year it will be in a far better condition than it has for twenty-five years.


GENERAL HIGHWAYS


Eighty percent of the money spent in my estimation has been of a permanent nature as I consider every load of new material placed on the highway is that much toward an upbuild of any road


There have at least been nine thousand loads of material placed on the general highways.


State and County aid roads fifty percent of which have been scarafied and resurfaced with tar although this is not a permanent job, in due time under the same treatment it will be far more sa- tisfactory for the money expended.


The roads are showing a large gain on improvement.


RECOMMENDATIONS


I would recommend that the Town take the benefits of Chapter


116


81 of department of Public Works under the small town act, it is available for the asking.


I would recommend that the Town spend as much as possible for general oiling for in time it is a valuable asset. Statistics show that oil is not used simply for laying dust but holds the ma- terial of which the road is composed of from blowing away which amounts to many loads during the season.
