REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE ROBBINS LIBRARY


To: Town Manager Edward C. Monahan


Dear Mr. Monahan:


Submitted herewith is the Report of the Librarian for the year 1955, which gives in detail an account of the activities of the Robbins Library.


The people of the town again made increased use of its facili- ties and services during 1955. The circulation was the highest in the history of the library, and the active list of registered borrowers reached the unusual figure of more than forty percent of the townspeople.


The Trustees gratefully acknowledge the generous gifts that have been received from both groups and individuals of the Town. Of special interest, perhaps, was the Bell & Howell Film Projector, received from the "Let-Us-Lend-A-Hand Club"; and the Reference Bookshelf on Freemasonry presented by the Masonic Lodges of Arlington.


Mr. Mark Bradford, a member of the Board for eight years and Chairman during the year of 1954, submitted his resignation from the Board. His faithful, unselfish and interested service in the Library deserves high recognition. To fill the vacancy on the Board, Mrs. Margaret Spengler was appointed.


In February of 1955, Dr. Jakob Rosenberg, Morton Bradley and Francis Keefe were appointed as a Special Committee to bring in recommendations for long range planning for the Robbins Print Collection.


Several major improvements were accomplished during the year. Relighting was completed in the Young People's Department, the Librarian's Office, the Circulation desk area and the corridor connecting the Adult and Junior Libraries. This is a partial com- pletion of a program which will ultimately include the relighting of the Main Reference Room as well. New lights have also been installed in the work areas of the basement.


New steel shelving has been installed in the stack areas, where the old wooden shelves, long since outmoded and insecure, created a serious safety condition. New floors have been laid in the second and third stack areas.


REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF ROBBINS LIBRARY 169


To relieve, in some measure, the overcrowded conditions exist- ing in the Main Library and to make available additional space for book stock, shelves have been built in the basement area for storage. Old reference books and bound periodicals, still useful, have been moved from the third stack to these new quarters, and the third stack has been opened to the public. This is not a satisfactory or permanent solution of the space problem; however, it does afford a temporary relief.


Other repairs included the boiler at the Main Library, paint- ing of the trim of the Dallin Branch, and the erection of snow guards over the Junior Library entrance.


At the request of the Board of Trustees, a major study of the condition of the outside of the Main Library building has been made in conjunction with the Town Manager. Results of this survey show that repairs are imperative. This fact accounts for the sub- stantial increase of money requested in the capital outlay budget for 1956.


The Trustees, as was noted in last year's report, continued to have difficulty in filling vacancies with professionally trained per- sonnel. After an exhaustive study of the Classification and Pay Plan, and of setting up a Job Classification schedule for Library person- nel, the Board has petitioned its recommendation to the town for a highly justifiable increase of salary for Library personnel to correct an inequity that has existed for some time. The Board feels that it cannot guarantee the continued excellent and capable service the Library has afforded the town during the past years, unless a salary increase is granted to assist in maintaining the high standard of library personnel required.


The Board wishes to pay tribute to the late Mrs. Lucinda F. Spofford, Librarian from 1927 to 1951, Roscoe O. Elliott, who served as Trustee from 1947 to 1953, and Edward Caterino, Custo- dian for five years.


The Trustees are grateful to the Librarian, Miss Judith E. Stromdahl and the Library Staff for their faithful service and cooperative spirit.


In closing, on behalf of the Board, I wish to extend its thanks and appreciation to the Town Manager for his capable and interested service, and for his recognition of library problems. His assistance and cooperation have been instrumental in the accomplishments. of the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


HUGH A. MALLON, JR.

REPORT OF THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT


Report of Purchasing Department


January 23, 1956


Mr. Edward C. Monahan Town Manager Arlington, Massachusetts


Dear Mr. Monahan:


I herewith submit my report as Assistant Purchasing Agent for the year ending December 31, 1955.


The volume of service rendered by this Department will be re- vealed to some extent by the following table:


Purchase requisitions received 6597 Purchase orders processed 7434 Total amount of invoices $1,297,471.53


As in previous years much time was expended in the preparation of specifications prior to advertising or soliciting by circular letter for bids. The ultimate public opening of bids and the careful analysis of bids was performed with great care. Oftentimes it was necessary to obtain recommendations and financial statements prior to making an award. Only after careful study are purchase orders placed. Per- formance bonds and insurance certificates guaranteeing the per- formance of work performed and protecting the Town from any liability, damage, or injury claim were obtained.


The continuation of the policy of obtaining bids on materials to be taken as needed throughout the year has without doubt saved considerable sums, inasmuch as during 1955 many items increased in price.


Local bidders continue to be given preference on all merchandise or construction when their bids were comparable.


I continue to receive fine cooperation from all Departments both under your control and not under your jurisdiction.


I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the Town Manager, the Board of Selectmen, various Boards, Com- missioners, Trustees, Town Officials, Committees, Department Heads and my staff for their cooperation throughout the year.


Respectfully submitted,


WARREN E. O'LEARY


Assistant Purchasing Agent

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


Report of the Engineering Department


Mr. Edward C. Monahan Town Manager Town Hall Arlington, Mass.


Dear


Sir:


Town Engineer James M. Keane passed away after a long illness on February 11, 1955. Mr. Keane was Town Engineer for over twenty- six years and began work for the Town in 1912. His death marked the passing of one of Arlington's best-known and highly-regarded public officials.


The largest Street Construction Program in recent times was undertaken this year together with large amounts of sidewalk instal- lations, sewer-, water- and drain projects, Chapter 90 reconstruction and many studies made for future projects.


The work of this Department could not have been so successfully carried out were it not for the loyalty and diligence of the employees and the cooperation of all Town officials, for which I extend my sin- cere thanks to all.


Annexed to this report is a list of public and private streets and other statistics as of January 1, 1956.


Respectfully submitted,


W. H. ROBY
