REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE LIBRARY.
To the Board of Directors of the Free Public Library :
The Library Committee presents the following report. It has held during the past year eleven meetings, as usual, one meeting in every month excepting July.
The year has been a busy one in the library and the work which has been done here is described in detail in the report of the Librarian. The committee through its chairman has re- quested the Finance Committee to ask the city government to appropriate the present year $4,000 to be spent in books for the general public, and $1,000 additional for school purposes.
These sums seem very moderate when compared with a state- ment of the needs of the community. It is a mistake to suppose that a library may buy as many or as few books as it pleases. The inhabitants of a town or city having become accustomed to the management of a library on a certain scale of expenditures are disappointed and displeased when a less generous sum of money is spent for their benefit and privileges which they have come to count upon are cut off. The committee is confident, therefore, that the city government will appropriate the reasonable sums asked for to enable the library to continue to afford to citizens the facilities usually extended to them. The work done in con-
169
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
nection with the schools is of the greatest value and should be enlarged by the expenditure of the sum of money asked for to carry it on. Attention is called to the statement of the librarian and building committee in regard to the imperative need of accom- modations for the storage of books.

REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE READING-ROOM.
To the Board of Directors of the Free Public Library:
The duties of the Reading-room committee are light. When a list of papers and magazines has once been carefully selected but few changes in it are needed from year to year. Some periodicals must be dropped and a few added.
Such work as the committee has been called upon to perform it has attended to cheerfully.
Everything has gone on satisfactorily in the reading-rooms during the past year in so far as the committee knows, and it believes that the public has been provided with the periodical literature needed to satisfy reasonable desires and that all fre- quenters of the rooms have been courteously served and con- tented with their reception and entertainment.
The committee is gratified to learn that efforts are being made to secure additional artificial light in the reading-rooms. It is needed there. $500 will be required the coming year in addition to the amount of the income of the Reading-room fund.
The hearty thanks of the committee are extended to the kind gentlemen and ladies who have added to the value of our col- lection of papers and periodicals by generous gifts.

REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE BUILDING.
To the Board of Directors of the Free Public Library :
The Committee on the Building reports that it has spent very little money on the building the past year, but that it will be necessary to expend the present year $300 for ordinary repairs, including $100 for painting the cornice, roof, and other portions of its exterior.
The new boiler works admirably, but fails to effect what it is capable of doing, and what is needed, owing to a deficiency of radiating surface in the main story of the library building. It is important, therefore, to replace the old-fashioned radiators in the Green Library room and one of those in the Librarian's room by those of more modern construction, which without taking up more space will add largely to the surface from which radiation can go on. An estimate has been furnished to the Committee of the amount which will be needed in putting in new radiators. For this purpose $235 will be called for.
A careful examination is also to be made of the defects in the pipes used in lighting the building. The committee cannot report now what sum will be needed for making the changes demanded, but will be able to do so very soon. The sum will not be large, however.
It will be necessary to fit up another room in the basement to accommodate the Circulating Library in the growth of the immediate future and money must be spent in renewing some of the foundation timbers of the building. For these purposes Mr.
174
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 41.
Peck, the Superintendent of Public Buildings, estimates that $500 will be required. When this room has been filled with books there will be no more space available for storing additions to the Circulating department. It would seem to have been the part of wisdom to take steps towards securing land and enlarg- ing the library building during the past year. The continued failure to give this matter consideration will lead soon to serious results. $200, Mr. Peck estimates, will be needed to pay for replacing plastering which threatens to fall. The estimates of sums of money that will be required in providing coal, wood, gas and water, the present year, are about the same in amount as the sums spent for these necessaries the past year. A slightly increased amount of gas and water will have to be used.

REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE.
To the Directors of the Free Public Library :-
The Finance Committee herewith submit the financial Statement of the Free Public Library and the Green Library Fund for the year ending November 30, 1886.
The result shows that the present amount of the Green Library Fund is $42,012.00, an increase from the previous year of $540.21.
The amount of the City appropriation last year was $12,000, from dog license money $3,047.95, from fines, sales of catalogues, etc. $599.28, from the City in excess of the appropriation $394.28, making the total receipts $16,041.52 and the expenditures as appear by the report thereof in detail $16,041.52. The necessity and propriety of the expenditures will appear upon a careful examination of the details.
The Committee herewith present for your consideration their estimate of the necessary.expenditures for the coming year.
The Committee have made careful examination as to the securities of the Library in the hands of William S. Barton, Esq., the City Treasurer, and as to his accounts of receipts and disburse- ments, and find them entirely correct. They have also examined the account of the Librarian as to the receipts and disbursements by him, and find the same correct.

REPORT
OF THE
JOINT STANDING COMMITTEE ON SEWERS.
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 40 of the Ordi- nances of the City, the Joint Standing Committee on Sewers herewith respectfully submit to the City Council their annual report for the year ending November 30th, together with the report of the Superintendent of Sewers, as presented to the Committee, and so much of said report as refers to the location, size, and cost of the sewers constructed during the year, and the property on hand, your Committee adopt and report as their own.
By reference to the table accompanying the Superintendent's report it will be seen that the great west side trunk sewer, which has occupied the attention of the Department almost constantly since 1882, has this year been extended through Tufts and Mason streets, and finally completed by its connection with the sewer system in Pleasant street near its junction with Winslow street.
The additional fall which has been gained by the construction of this sewer, was at once utilized by lowering the sewer in Pleasant street, as far east as Russell street, and in Russell street north to its intersection with Elm street, thereby making possible the long needed drainage of the land in this vicinity.
In addition to the relaying of the sewer in these two streets, a 24x36 in. brick sewer has been laid in Park avenue, from Tufts to
180
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 41.
Pleasant street, a distance of 1517 ft., and of the sum borrowed under authority of the order of Feb. 24, 1885, under which this work has been done, there remains a balance of $3,380.93 as evidence of the care with which the work was estimated, and the economy with which it has been prosecuted.
In laying out the work to be done under this year's appropria- tion, your Committee decided to at once appropriate the benefits made possible by the completion of this great work, to the advantage of the district that has so long and patiently awaited its coming. They therefore departed from the custom generally followed in years past, and without waiting for petitions, recom- mended the construction of substantially all the lateral sewers built upon the west side, under one order, and we are confident that the wisdom of the City Council in adopting the order, has been demonstrated by the convenience and economy with which the work has been executed, and the alacrity with which the abutters have availed themselves of its advantages.
The wants of another long suffering neighborhood have been relieved by the construction of a 32x48 in. brick sewer in South- gate street, from Southbridge to Gardner street, into which has been brought the sewage of the entire section bounded by Kilby, Main, and Hancock streets, and the surface water collecting at the foot of Loudon and Hawthorn streets.
Here as on the west side, the opportunity for proper and sufficient sewerage has been at once utilized by the abutters, and this fact is the best possible evidence of the necessity for the outlay.
The only other work calling for special mention, has been done in Bloomingdale Road, where the 30x45 in. brick sewer has been extended to Suffolk street, a distance of 1,161 feet. The depth at which this sewer must be built, together with the ledge and water encountered, have made the cost of construction large, but the necessities of that portion of the City, which is literally " built upon a rock," could not be longer disregarded, especially as they were emphasized by the Board of Health.
For particulars as to the remainder of the work accomplished by the department, we refer you to the table appended to the
181
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SEWERS.
Superintendent's report, a summary of which shows the total length of sewers built during the year to be 5.55 miles, or nearly one-tenth of the entire system, which is 56.41 miles.
The expenditure on account of construction has been $100,007 .- 10, and on account of maintenance, $10,889.33.
A long stride to be covered in one year ? surely.
A large expenditure for one department ? granted, but not a foot has been constructed that was not needed, and there remains unanswered upon the files of the Committee, petitions estimated to cost $67,000, to which must be added a considerable sum, if provision is to be made for the petitions which are sure to be presented in 1887.
And just here we desire to call the attention of the City Council to the return, direct and indirect, made to the City for ' its expenditure in the department of Sewers-facts which we believe are often forgotten when considering the annual appro- priations.
Should the prayer of every petition before the Committee be answered, the individual economy and convenience which would result, would be but the beginning of the benefits to ensue. First is the improved sanitary condition of the entire neighbor- hood, an element, the importance of which it is impossible to accurately estimate, but regarding which the report of the Board of Health offers valuable and significant testimony. They find that the average death rate for the ten years since 1875 is 2.05 against 2.17 for the ten years previous, yet the increase in our population was 20,000 during the same period, and the report of the State Board of Health just received, shows the death rate for 1885 to be 1.17 below the average for the entire State.
Again it should be remembered, that the disposition of surface water, which is made possible by the presence of sewers in the streets, materially reduces the cost of street maintenance.
And, lastly, comes the direct return to the City in the form of sewer assessments, which for the year just closed aggregates the handsome sum of $43,378.88.
In view of these facts, are we not warranted in the conclusion, that the results attained in this department during the past few
13
1
182
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 41.
years abundantly justify the expenditure, and in further express- ing the belief, that ample provision for the future will be in the line of true economy ?
In closing we desire to record our testimony to the faithfulness and efficiency with which Superintendent Chamberlain and Engi- neer Allen have executed the important and difficult trusts com- mitted to them, and to commend them to our successors as worthy of their fullest confidence.
Respectfully submitted,
