There have been two companies formed the past year : to man engine No. 1. 38 men, and to man the hook and ladder truck, 15 men. The hose carriage should be manned at once with 12 men.
There have been many supplies and repairs to be paid for the past year (see Selectmen's report on fire department). The fire apparatus is now in good working order. I would recommend that the Board of Engineers take an inventory of all the fire apparatus belonging to the Town on the first day of Mav next. Also an appropriation of $1,800 for the ensuing year.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE FRANKLIN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
From the annual report of the Librarian, submitted to the Board of Directors on the 2d inst., we select the following items, as of interest to the citizens of the town :
Whole number of different persons that have drawn books. 910 - being an increase of 78 over the number the year pre- vious. Number of books loaned, 17,457-an increase of nearly 900 volumes over the preceding year.
The report of the Treasurer shows the financial operations for the year. The Directors have purchased 214 volumes of new books at an expense of $242 30, which amount has been paid from the income of the Dean Fund - and several volumes have been donated to the Library.
The appropriation by the town, and from other sources, applicable to current expenses for the year, was as follows : Balance on hand, Feb. 4, 1879, $ 93 85 Town appropriation, including dog money ($257 80), 357 80 Receipts from sale of catalogues, fines, etc .. 67 80
Total, $519 45 Expenses of the Library for the year. 447 66
Balance in the treasury, Feb. 3, 1880, $ 71 79
The expenses show a slight increase over the previous year, owing to the unusually large number of books that required rebinding-182 volumes-and the purchase of an additional book-case. We do not anticipate for the year to come any unusual expense, and would recommend an appropriation of same amount-$100 - and the dog money for the current year.
When we compare the statistics of the past year with those of five years ago (1874), showing an increase of 300 in the number drawing books, and the number of volumes loaned last year, over 9,000 greater than in 1874-more than doubled -with the fact that over 700 volumes of newand valuable works have been purchased, it will be readily seen that the Library has steadily increased its means of usefulness and in appreciation by the public, at a merely nominal cost to the taxpayers.
We confidently expect this interest, on the part of the read- ing and thinking public, will continue to grow, and that at no distant day more room, and more frequent opportunities of access to the Library will be considered indispensable among the public institutions of our thriving town.
JOS. G. RAY. WALDO DANIELS. For the Directors.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE COMMON.
At the last annual meeting the Town appropriated $250 to be expended in improving the Common, providing the Com- mittee having the improvement in charge should raise an equal amount from the citizens. This work was at once acomplished-citizens, without distinction, cheerfully con- tributing of money and labor.
The improvements for the year consist of grading, making walks and preparing the Common for fertilizing and sowing. A large amount of work was performed on the south-west corner of the Common, where much grading was required. All refuse matter and all large stones have been removed. Ninety-seven and one half (97 1-2) rods of walks ten feet wide have been built. Some of these walks have been dug several feet, and well filled in with stones. The work has been done as well and as thoroughly as the means at the dis- posal of the Committee would allow, and it is felt that a very great and needed improvement has been made.
The following will show the monies received, and how expended :
Amounts received : Money donations, $117 95
Town appropriation, 250 00
Labor donations, 140 47
$508 69
Amounts expended : Labor donated, $140 74
Paid for labor, 331 55
Cash on hand, 36 40
508 69
There is now on hand subscriptions in money and labor. part of which will be obtained, about $25.
The itemized account, as above, is in the hands of the Treasurer of the Committee, Hon. Jos. G. Ray.
Respectfully submitted, for the Committee,
A. ST. JOHN CHAMBRE.
