LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
To the Trustees of the Public Library.
Herewith is presented the forty-first annual report of the Library.
The circulation for 1933 was 1,278 less than that of 1932. The demand for new books greatly exceeded the supply. Whereas in former years were purchased 650 or 700 books, this year, due to reduction in our budget, about half as many were purchased.
Our work with the children still continues to hold a large part in the curriculum of the Library. One subscription in each of four groups of children's books as published by the Junior Literary Guild was taken last year. These books supply reading for the children at the Adelaide Walsh School as well as the South School. These books are considered the very best for children's reading and credit is given in the School Reading List.
Our reading rooms are used as a reference room and also delivery room. This makes the rooms overcrowded and not nearly large enough for those who wish to use it.
We have some new books of reference on our shelves. Others are old and out of date. We recommend for purchase this year one set of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
We have re-registered our borrowers, and have now 837 names in our registration files.
We extend our thanks for the gifts of magazines and books sent to our Library during the past year.
The Main Library is open Wednesday and Saturday, 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 P. M. The Branch Library is open Tuesday and Friday, 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 P. M.
Respectfully submitted,
LYDIA L. HARRADEN,
Librarian.

REPORT OF THE SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
The following report of the operation of this department for the year ending December 31, 1933, is respectfully submitted.
In common with many other municipalities, our Town has had more work done on the roads during the past year than in any other similar period. This was directly due to the requirements of the Federal authorities, who, where financial assistance was rendered, stressed the importance of putting people back to work.
We have, as a result of this opportunity, had the condition of our roads greatly improved at a minimum cost to the taxpayers. A general program was followed whereby all the graveled roads were scraped and dragged and many oiled and re-treaded. Most of our highways are now in good condition and upon completion of the projects now under consideration all outlying roads will be in first-class condition.
Aside from material benefits the Town derived from the CWA and State projects, of greater importance was the fact that so many of our citizens were provided with means of employment during these hard times.
The valuable assistance rendered by the Town officials and the various departments has been most encouraging and has aided me greatly in working out my program.
I have endeavored to carry out the wishes of the citizens and take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of their friendly and co-operative spirit.
Respectfully.
FRANCIS C. MOYNIHAN,
Surveyor of Highways.
REPORT OF HAMILTON COMMITTEE ON UNEMPLOYMENT
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
The Town appropriated for the purposes of this committee $8000. each on January 6, March 14, and August 15. This amount with the balance of $264.94 on January 1st made $24,264.94 available. Of this amount $17,198.46 was expended for wages and $5140.00 for material, trucking and other expenses. Early in December the duties of this committee were practically absorbed by the CWA and since $700 was required of the town to make the projects available in the town satisfactory to the Federal authorities such use being considered within the purpose of the appropriation, to keep the ratio between manpower and other costs acceptable to the Federal authorities. The balance on December 31st for the needy unemployed was $1226.46.
The average number of men employed weekly before the work was taken over by the CWA was thirty-eight, reaching a peak of fifty-six men during the week of March 25. The fewest number was 13 in the week of March 4. After the CWA took over the work, but five were left upon the rolls, they being unable to per- form heavy labor.
An innovation which the committee considers highly satisfac- tory was the purchase of a Ford dumping truck of modern type. This was bought September 1, at a cost of $795. It has since then done 516 hours of work which otherwise would have had to be paid for to outside parties. Current rates for such trucks are, with a driver, $1.25 per hour; without a driver 75 cents. The cost for gas, oil, etc. was $43.20. By availing itself of the serv- ices of one of the unemployed as driver, the committee effected a further saving of 10 cents per hour, showing a total net saving of $395.40, or practically one-half the cost of the truck in four

HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
months, leaving it still in perfect resale order or available for further work. By courtesy of the Cemetery Committee, its truck was also put at the disposition of this committee and put in 264 hours during the year-a fine example of courtesy and flexibility among committees.
As noticed in our report to the last special town meeting, labor for routine highway department maintenance and other town activities has been provided from the committee's list, the fund thus carrying a substantial proportion of the cuts in those appro- priations prescribed by the last annual town meeting. Splendid cooperation has been extended by all town officials and others with whom the committee has come in contact. Without it, results accomplished could never have been achieved.
The committee has greatly missed the advice and services of Mr. Percival D. Whipple, a member since its inception and chair- man at the time of his resignation, enforced by pressure of private business. Mr. Whipple has been a very considerable element in fixing and carrying out the policies of the Board.
The projects carried on by the committee during the past year with their cost, are listed below, also the expenditures by months.

FRANCIS C. NORTON
JANUARY 20, 1933
Born at Essex, May 29, 1845, son of Oliver Norton of Essex and Elizabeth Patch of Hamilton, Mr. Norton served the town long and faithfully for over 30 years. He served on the Cemetery Commission for 28 years, Park Commission 14 years, was Trustee of the Public Library for 7 years. He also served the town from time to time in various other offices.
Mr. Norton took an extreme interest and pride in his town and gave freely of his time and was always ready to help in any pos- sible way. It was through his efforts that a movement was started which resulted in the bodies being moved from the Old Graveyard (now part of Cutler Park) to the Town Cemetery across the street.

CAPTAIN HOUSTON A. THOMAS
SEPTEMBER 4, 1933
Born August 12, 1872, in Englewood, New Jersey, son of Colonel Addison Thomas and Alice Gridley Abbott. In his pass- ing Hamilton has lost a highly respected citizen, and one who was a friend to everyone he met, irrespective of station.
Captain Thomas was a nephew of the late Marshall K. Abbott, the first president of the Myopia Club. He served the town as Selectman in 1909-10, was president of Community Service, chair- man of Essex County Red Cross, captain of the State Guard, and a member of the Myopia Club.
A legion of friends mourn his loss.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton.
During the year 1933 the expenditures for local welfare show no great increase, but expense for outside relief has been greater. That is to say, cases which have a settlement in Hamilton and who are living in and receiving aid from outside cities and towns, and for which Hamilton has to pay the charges incurred. This Board has little control over the amount of aid given outside cases. Following is a record of department disbursements for the year :

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FINANCE AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Hamilton:
On making our report for 1934, the Finance Committee feels that while the amount requested at the March meeting is somewhat smaller than last year, the total appropriation for 1934 will exceed by a substantial amount that of 1933.
In 1933 we held a special town meeting in August. This
year in all probability another meeting will have to be called during the summer, at which time additional appropriations will have to be made. At this time the amount of these appro- priations is difficult to determine owing to the uncertainties of the C. W. A. program and the action of the State Legis- lature.
In making our recommendations we have endeavored to sug- gest such sums which in our opinions is sufficient for the vari- ous departments without impairing their efficiency.
Below are the departmental appropriations for 1934 :
