Report of Cemetery Commissioners
At the adjourned Town Meeting held March 15, 1921, an ap- propriation was made for the Cemetery Department of $850.00. In addition to this we have received from surplus interest of the Francis Dane endowment fund, $188.15.
This money has been used largely for the general improve- ment of the old grounds, and especially that part which is in the section near Main Street and is the oldest of all, being more than two hundred years old.
A limited improvement only could be made in a part of this section of the cemetery. But this has been done and it now looks better than it has in many years. All graded avenues have been put in fine condition and each one has been provided with a neat name sign. The entrance to main avenue from the street has been made wider and is very much better.
Quite an amount of money has been expended this year, but for it the yard has been put in fine condition. Each endowed lot is cared for with interest from the endowment fund.
An appropriation of $500.00 should be sufficient for the current year.
For financial matters see report of Town Accountant.
GEORGE K. KNOWLTON, FRANCIS C. NORTON, GEO. H. GIBNEY, Cemetery Commissioners.
57
Report of Park Commissioners
The Park has been kept in a neat condition the past year and suitable for recreation and rest for all who have cared to use it.
Perhaps at some future time a small building, open or closed, may be erected on the high ground overlooking Cutler's Pond. We would not recommend it this year, as we feel that retrenchment should be the watchword as far as possible in every department of the town at the present time.
An appropriation of $50 should be sufficient for park use this year.
GEORGE K. KNOWLTON, EDWIN J. READY, PERCIVAL D. WHIPPLE, Park Commissioners.
58
Report of the Library Trustees
The Trustees report a most satisfactory year in the conduct of the Public Library.
At the Main Library a gratifying increase in attendance has been shown, with a circulation largely in excess over the preceding year. The reading and magazine room, a library in itself of cur- rent events, is more popular than ever.
At the South Hamilton Branch the trustees faced the situa- tion that the demand for books was far in excess of the supply, and, further, that the quarters had to be practically doubled in size. This involved an outlay of nearly seven hundred dollars to provide for tables, chairs, additional electric fixtures, pictures, painting, carpenter work, etc.
As a result, out of an appropriation of two thousand dollars last year for the maintenance of the Library, the trustees, after paying for the charges noted above, salaries, rent, etc., had less than seven hundred dollars left for the purchase of new books, the total number of new books purchased being five hundred and thirty- five. These had to meet the demand for fiction reading, general literature and children's books, for which there is a very urgent demand. In fact, it does not seem as if we are ever able to keep up with the demands of the children for reading suitable for their age, a demand which we feel should be met to the utmost.
Books today will average at least one dollar and twenty-five cents each, and for some we are obliged to pay as high as four or five dollars. With a reading circulation of fifteen thousand a year. the trustees believe that, in order to properly meet the demands, they should purchase at least one hundred books a month, costing
60
LIBRARY REPORT
approximately fifteen hundred dollars a year. In addition to the general demand for books of the popular type of reading, we have also been requested to furnish books of a technical nature and literature series for school reading, which, of course, are absolutely essential to place the Library in a proper position to co-operate with the school system; but again we have to plead that limited funds has prevented us meeting these requirements of the up-to-date library.
The trustees had half expected that the library connected with the new Community House might in a considerable measure relieve the pressure upon the local libraries, but the effect so far has been imperceptible, and our circulation as compared with the previous year, continues to grow.
In view of the experience of the past year, upon which we assume we are justified in estimating what the coming year may bring forth. we have requested the Finance Committee to increase our appropriation to twenty-five hundred dollars. Of course, they may point out that we will have some seven hundred dollars to spend this year which was expended last year for unusual repairs, but owing to the small amount which we were able to apply to the purchase of books last year, we ran behind in our average, and the natural growth of the Library, of course, suffered to that extent.
The chairman of the trustees has inserted an article in the warrant, asking, in compliance with the provision in the General Laws relating thereto, that the dog tax be transferred to the Public Library, and trusts this suggestion will meet with the approval of the voters at the coming meeting.
There have also been at times requests that the Branch be kept open one day or more in addition to the days in which it is now open, for the use and instruction of the school children, and also on Sunday afternoon for general reading. This, of course, would
61
LIBRARY REPORT
require additional work by the assistant librarian, which, of course, would entail further expense.
As for the figures and statistics relating to the actual expendi- tures, circulation, and other matters, we respectfully refer to the financial report and the report of the Librarian.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT B. WALSH, Chairman. ARTHUR W. CHANDLER. EDWARD A. UNDERHILL, Secretary.
Librarian's Report
To the Trustees of the Public Library.
Gentlemen : Herewith is submitted my second annual report as Librarian.
During the year 638 books were added to the Library. Of this number 335 books were purchased and 103 were gifts. Of the number purchased by Library, 368 books were for adults and 167 books were for children. We wish to publicly acknowledge a gift of 58 new books for children, a record of which has been placed on our books. The circulation for the year was, by actual count, 14,193 books.
New copies of standard and very popular books are being added to the Library to take the place of those that have become worn out by constant use. New reference books are also being added, as the need for them arises.
The Main Library is open Wednesday and Saturday from 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 P. M.
The Branch Library is open Tuesday and Friday from 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 P. M.
Respectfully submitted,
LYDIA L. HARADEN, Librarian.

HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
OVERDRAFTS.
The time has come when there must be something done to check and. prevent overdrafts; there are certain departments which, by law, emergency arising, may overdraft, the others should and must keep within their appropriations; i. e., Chapter 624, Acts of 1910, as amended by Chapter 207, Acts of 1911, and Chapter 252, Acts of 1916, Section 4:
"Whenever any appropriation shall have been expended, or whenever, in the judgment of the town accountant, it appears that the liabilities incurred against any appropriation may be in excess of the unexpended balance of said appropriation, he shall imme- diately give notice to the selectmen and to the board, committee, head of department, or official authorized to make expenditures from said appropriation, and no claim against such appropriation shall be allowed nor any further liability be incurred until the town makes provision for the same."
In towns having finance and advisory committees powers are vested with them to transfer from time to time for extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures, monies from the reserve fund to meet such contingency.
Departments should so regulate their expenditures that appro- priations made at the Annual Town Meeting shall be sufficient for each fiscal year ; unforeseen emergencies should be clearly beyond the scope of the purpose for which the original appropriation was made. Reasons for so transferring money to meet the contingency should be clearly stated in the annual report of the finance com- mittee.
Transfers of the year 1921 were made for the following reasons :
By-laws. Under Article 22 at the last Annual Town Meeting. it was voted to accept the By-laws as presented ; no appropriation being made, it was necessary to transfer funds to legalize your
73
FINANCE REPORT
action, by printing and delivering said By-laws to the voters of the Town.
Selectmen. Perambulations of the Hamilton-Wenham, Ham- ilton-Essex, and Hamilton-Manchester town lines.
Assessors. Salaries paid totaled $1,165.00, within $35.00 of the total appropriation.
Election and Registration. Extra primary and election in the fall was responsible for overdraft.
Fire Department. It is always possible that there be an over- draft for this department.
Special Sidewalk. Overdraft is taken care of by assessment against abutters.
