Ridge Hill Library
Our circulation for the year was 1380, 1064 fiction and 316 non-fiction.
We have added 74 volumes, 56 by purchase and 18 by gift. The State Library Commission has not been asked for its usual donation since our usefulness to the schools has been seriously affected by the fact that children above the fourth grade could not take books during the afternoon session.
On August 12 the library met with an irreparable loss in the death of its trustee, William J. Leonard, who has been from the beginning one of the most interested and active workers in its behalf.
The library has been open throughout the school year on Wednesdays from 2:30 to 4:30 and from 7 to 8 P. M. During the summer vacation it was open from 7 to 8 P. M. It is free to all the citizens of the town.

Report of Town Accountant
To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell :
I respectfully submit to you my report for the calendar year 1936. During the year the State system of keeping the accounts of your town has been installed and has been in operation. In the appended schedules you will find for the first time from a town officer a Balance Sheet at the close of the year. It contains among other items the amounts of uncollected Taxes for the various years, the amount of uncollected Taxes which have been protect- ed by the taking of Tax Titles, the amount unexpended on the New High School, the as yet uncollected discrepancies of two former Tax Collectors and many other items to which I invite your attention. There is also a Statement of the appropriations voted by you and the amounts of each expended and how any balance left over was hand- led. The other Statements speak for themselves. The year 1936 is the first one in which the New Laws re- specting Old Age Assistance grants from the Federal Government went into effect. The number of persons aided under these laws is increasing. In 1934 $4,350.00 . was expended on this account, and in 1936 it was · $11,464.59. In 1934 there was expended on Welfare the sum of $4,243.79, and in 1936 the sum of $6,209.58.
Because 1936 saw the completion of the new Town Hall which was presented to the town free and clear, and because in this year the New High School was largely constructed, I cannot forebear to mention such outstand- ing events.
