Prescott (collection of etchings), Mrs. Harold Rice (310 post cards of different countries), Mrs. Peter Schwamb, Mrs. Edward C. Turner and Mrs. Everett P. Turner.
Thanks are due Mr. Charles S. Parker for continuing to print gratuitously the lists of New Books in the columns of the Arlington Advocate. He has also, as usual, given a complete file of that paper for the year.
Exhibitions from the Library Art Club have been as follows:
January. No. 277. Mother Goose by F. Richardson.
February. No. 278. Pictures for Children by Jessie Willcox Smith.

The use of the Reading Room and Stack Room for study and reference work cannot be adequately shown by figures. All sorts of questions are asked by young and old, in the library and by telephone. Requests for information come also from other towns.
Co-operation with teachers is still further desired.
Attention should be called to the bulletin boards near the counter on which are displayed attractive book-jackets and other items of interest. A set of Photo Flower postals has
320
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
been shown monthly according to the flowers then in bloom and have been much admired.
At the suggestion of the Bureau of Education, the Children's Librarian used the State Certificate Reading Lists among twenty-five school children of different grades. Much interest was shown, the children writing brief reports of books read and receiving a certificate which was displayed in the room later.
The Trustees take great pleasure in drawing attention to the fact that Miss Elizabeth J. Newton has completed a period of continuous and faithful service as Librarian for fifty years. This is an extraordinary record, and is a source of pride for us all.
Mention should also be made of the long service of Judge James P. Parmenter as Trustee, who for thirty-nine years has given freely of his time and intelligence to the interests of the Library.
It is hoped that the Town will continue to provide for its liberal support.
Respectfully submitted,
CYRUS E. DALLIN, CHARLES A. KEEGAN, WILLIAM A. MULLER, CAIRA ROBBINS, M. HELEN TEELE, ARTHUR J. WELLINGTON,

Gentlemen: Herewith is respectfully submitted the annual report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1922.
The Engineering Department furnishes all the Town de- partments and committees with such information, plans, de- signs, estimates and data of an engineering nature as they may require on work being done, or contemplated, also keeps careful notes, measurements and location of new work, ad- ditions, changes and extensions as they may occur, and properly records the same for future reference by maps, plans or profiles.

Twelve (12) Board of Survey plans were verified by this Department and approved by the Board of Survey.
Street numbering plans of all new streets have been made, new buildings located, and numbers assigned.
Plans have been made by the various companies and corporations and filed in the Town Engineer's office, showing the locations of structures for which permits were granted by the Joint Board during the year.
The Engineering Department has prepared plans and performed miscellaneous services for all the Town depart- ments and for the Town Counsel.
