TOWN REPORT.
The Town having purchased the Smith lot, so called, for the enlargement of the Town cemetery, it passes into the care and control of the cemetery commissioners, as pro- vided for by law.
The lot contains seven and four-tenths acres. a plan of which is shown with this report.
The lot is connected with the old cemetery at the south east corner, and entered by a wide avenue running across the whole northwestern end of the new ground, and named Broadway avenue.
The larger part of this lot has been laid out into eight forty lot sections and bounded by avenues, making three hundred and twenty single lots 28 x 10 feet.
Some lots along the wall on Main avenue in the old cemetery, as shown on the plan drawn by W. A. Brown, are so small as to be of little use, and all numbers above 208 on these lots have been discontinued, so that lots in the eight sections of the new ground begin with No. 209 ending with No. 529.
A part of four additional sections, containing sixty-nine lots, but not yet numbered, are shown on the plan. These lots are on the eastern side of Oak avenue where the ground begins to be narrow.
The price of lots for sale has been fixed according to location and conditions. Lots graded up, and with per- petual care, $150 each; all other lots, excepting those set apart for free burial, without grading and without perpetual care, $25 and $15 each, according to location. Single graves in lot set apart for that purpose, with perpetual care, $10 each.
All lots in old part of cemetery have been sold except lots for single graves.
39
TOWN REPORT.
A part of Broadway and Linden avenues has been graded at a cost of $100. It is necessary the present year in order to open up the different priced lots, to grade a part of Green- wood, Highland, Laurel, Forest and Grove avenues, and fin- ish grading Broadway avenue.
The northwestern boundary line on Broadway should also have a face wall put up its entire length.
For this work and the general care of the cemetery the Commissioners recommend an appropriation of $1000.
All business for the purchase of town cemetery lots, and for their endowment, must be done with the Cemetery Commissioners, and no other person is authorized to receive any payment or money for the same.
The Commissioners have to keep an account of all money received and pay it over to the Town Treasurer, tak- ing his receipt therefor.
An endowment fund for. the perpetual care of single lots should not be less than fifty dollars, and one hundred dollars would be a better provision.
Blanks for endowment fund should be obtained from the Commissioners and filled out in proper form.
All deeds must be paid for when delivered, and no lot will become the property of any person until paid for.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Report of Trustees and Librarian.
In presenting their annual report, the Trustees wish to thank all who have assisted in making the work of the library a success during the past year. There is nothing new to report regarding the regular routine work. The constant aim of the Trustees has been to furnish all such books as the reading public wanted and no more. The kind of books have averaged largely fiction, and the very best of the kind, by the best authors, are the only ones that have been purchased, a few works on biography, history and travel have also been added. Efforts are being made constantly to call out sug- gestions from patrons for new books of fiction and for others adapted for special reading and study. It would be a great source of pleasure to the trustees if by some stimulation, more and better reading by the Town's people could be brought about and a larger variety of books purchased.
There is now in the treasury of the library one thousand ($1000) dollars, left as a bequest by the late Augusta Dodge, a lady of educational interests, as a memorial to her sister, for a Free reading room, an adjunct of the public library, and to be called the Gail Hamilton Reading Room. How to dispose of this bequest is as yet a problem. It would seem
(40)
41
TOWN REPORT.
that as an adjunct of the Public library, the room had better be in the Town hall, and the only room there desirable for the purpose is the one directly opposite the hall from the present library quarters, and at present occupied by the school committee. Provided this room could be had, it is a question whether the expenditure of one thousand dollars or any part of it, in fitting up a reading and reference room in the latest and most approved designs, would be wise. Whether such a room so fitted up would be of greater service to more people, than now as a school committee room.
What this Town wants is what every other town and city in the world wants more good men and women, strong, well posted on affairs, self reliant, able to grasp any situation that may arise, broad minded and the greater the opportunity for study and self improvement that is placed before them, the more likely they are are to benefit and take advantage of it.
What a fine thing it would be if other bequests could be made by enterprising citizens. sons and daughters of the Town of Hamilton, to endow the public library, either for a general fund or for specific purposes. More money than is now spent could be used to good advantage if we had more room to spread out.
The capacity of the present reading room is now often times overtaxed with readers and visitors. The collection of valuable relies presented to the Town by the late James A. Garland should have a better place and some care.
A new supplementary catalogue from October, 1905, to the present time will be ready March 1st.
We are indebted to a few of our kind friends for contribu- tions of reading matter for the use of patrons: to W.T. Lambert, for a lot of bound Blackwood's Magazines : to Mrs. Codman,

The Use of the Natural Forest,
47
TOWN REPORT.
The commission has investigated the matter of procur- ing for the use of the town as a park or other public purpose, the private cemetery situated on Main street, in the centre of the Town, and known as the " Wigglesworth Cemetery."
This land contains about one and one-fourth acres, and has a frontage on Main street of 84 feet.
It was dedicated for use as a Cemetery April 28, 1850. Not a great many bodies have been buried there, and none in recent years. A number have been removed to the Town Cemetery by the descendants of the original owners, and only about a dozen still remain in the yard.
The present owners take no care of the lot: the larger part of the fence is down, and it has become a depository for rubbish. Property owners adjoining have sometimes cleaned it up a little for protection from danger by fire, and the moth commissioners have done some work there.
In order to ascertain if the present owners of the ceme- tery are willing to sell their right and title in the lot, inquiry has been made, as far as possible, of some descendant of each of the thirteen original proprietors, and nine have expressed their willingness to sell.
Should the town desire to possess this property it will have to be obtained by application to the Court. As this will involve some expense to the town the Commissioners recommend an appropriation of one hundred dollars for that purpose.
