REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE BUILDING.
To the Directors of the Free Public Library :
The Committee on the Building begs leave to call the atten- tion of the Board of Directors to the fact stated in its last report, that money would " soon have to be spent in renewing the tim- bers and floors in the northern portion of the basement, and in laying new floors in the first story." It also stated that it would be desirable to use tiles in re-laying the floor of the hall, as this is a thoroughfare for all persons who enter either the Cir- culating or Reference departments, which is constantly in use. The time- has now come, in the opinion of the Committee, when it is imperative to re-lay the floors, and it recommends that an appropriation be asked from the city government for doing this work, and that a large enough sum be asked for to make it possi- ble to use tiles for paving the hall.
It is estimated that $500 would be needed in doing the work required. .
It having been recently discovered that the Library building was filled with sewer gas, an investigation was made, which dis- closed the fact that it had become necessary to renew the duct at once. The Committee, therefore, ordered the needed work to be done, and will have to ask the city to pay the bill for the same, amounting, probably, to about $150.
In addition to the sums of money required for re-laying the
382
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 37.
floors and renewing the sewer, the Committee asks that the fol- lowing items be inserted in the estimates for the ordinary expenses of the present year, namely :
For Gas,
$900 00
Water,
80 00
Coal and wood,
350 00
Ordinary repairs, furniture, brushes, etc.,
300 00
Shelving,
50 00
Insurance on the boiler,
25 00
For the expenditures of the past year, made under its super- vision, the Committee begs to refer the Board of Directors to the report of the Finance Committee.

REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE.
To the Directors of the Free Public Library :
The Finance Committee herewith submit the financial state- ments of the Free Public Library and the Green Library Fund for the year ending November 30, 1882. The result showing the present amount of the Green Library Fund to be $39,883.32, an increase from the previous year of $570.32.
The amount of the City appropriation last year was $12,000, and from the Dog money, Fines and Miscellaneous receipts at library $3,071.21, making a total of resources of $15,071.21, and the expenditures were $15,063.37, leaving only a balance of $7.84.
We are of the opinion that the expenditures have been judi- ciously made and could not consistently have been reduced.
The expenditures of the coming year must necessarily be larger, on account of the printing of a new Catalogue as recom- mended by the Librarian, and the repairs in the Building deemed necessary by the Building Committee.
A very considerable increase in the City appropriation for the coming year will be necessary on these accounts in order that the amount for the purchase of books may not be reduced, and the Committee herewith present for your approval their estimates of the expenditures for the coming year.
The Committee desire to express their appreciation of the accurate and clear method in which all the accounts of William S. Barton, Esq., the City Treasurer, are kept relative to the funds of the Library, and the value of the services of our Librarian as an economical administrator of its funds.
