PUBLIC LIBRARY


The Trustees of the Public Library respectfully submit their annual report including the Treasurer's and Libra- rian's report.


During the year a well has been driven on the grounds, the small building moved over and an engine with pump- jack installed; we have now a fair foundation for an effi- cient water system. The buildings have been painted one coat of white, and the blinds also painted.


The scarcity of coal has led the trustees to close the Li- brary on Wednesday afternoon and evening, until such time as there shall be enough coal for household consump- tion.


The Trustees extend the thanks of the Town to those who have donated so generously to the library the past year. We wish particularly to thank Mr. Dwight Blaney for the gift of fifty-six books, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. A. Feltis for thirty- eight, and Mr. James Paxton for twenty-four.


We are sorry to show in the Librarian's report a de- crease of over one thousand in circulation for the year. out hope the increase in knitting will compensate for it.
