ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ENGINEERS
OF THE
Reading Fire Department.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of Reading :-
There has been no change in the organization of the Fire Department during the past year, except in the case of the small engine located on Ash street. In our last report we informed you that it was manned by a company of volunteers. Since then that company has voluntarily dissolved, and it now remains without a company. All the apparatus in the department is in good condition and ready for immediate use. There will, in our opinion, be no extraordinary expense the ensuing year, except, perhaps, the painting of the engine house on Union street. In our last report we recommended (in view of the general depres- sion of business and a demand on the part of our citizens for retrenchment) a reduction of the appropriation for this depart- ment to seventeen hundred dollars, two thousand having been appropriated for the two preceding years. The town adopted our recommendation and we find that it has been sufficient, and a balance remains unexpended. We have not been so for- tunate in regard to fires as last year. The first alarm of fire was on July 22nd., caused by the burning of woods in the vicinity of hundred acre meadow ; loss not ascertained. Oct. 27th., at 1.45 A. M., the mill on Pearl street owned by S. A. Parker, and occupied by him and Alden Batchelder as a cabinet manufactory, was discovered to be on fire, and before the depart- ment could reach it, it was completely enveloped in flames, and the building and contents were entirely destroyed, but a large shop and stock sheds adjoining were saved. The department of Wakefield received the alarm and one engine and a hook and ladder carriage were present from that town, and rendered good service. The loss by the fire was estimated by the owners at
21
$10,000, on which there was an insurance .of $2500. Nov. 9th., at II A. M., the department were called out by a fire in the dwelling house of Etson Damon on Parker Street, which was speedily extinguished ; loss $100, no insurance. On or about the 15th. of February it was discovered that a diabolical attempt had been made to fire the Lyceum Hall building by lighting a lot of paper and placing it in a wood closet in the second story. This is the second attempt to fire that building within the last three years. The annual parade of the department took place on the 15th. of September, and a general invitation was extended to all the inhabitants to participate, many of whom responded. We think that the annual parade is beneficial to the department, and a satisfaction to the citizens, and recommend that they be con- tinued. The expenses of the department the past year have been as follows :
Paid members of Fire Department for the year ending May 1 1875, $1267 33 Chas H. Lang, for services as Chief Engineer to May 1 1875, 25 00

In concluding our report we wish to impress on the minds of our citizens the necessity of fostering and encouraging our fire department, the members of which, for a paltry sum, hold them- selves in readiness at all times, day or night, in sunshine or storm, heat or cold, to rally for the defence of our property and homes against the attacks of the devouring element. We recommend that the town appropriate for the expense of the department the ensuing year, the sum of seventeen hundred ($1700 00) dollars. One hundred dollars of which shall be used for defraying the expense of the annual fall parade.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Trustees of the Public Library.
The Trustees of the Public Library have little to report, as the moneys committed to their trust have only served to pay the current expenses of their department, leaving none to be used for the purchase of books. The Librarian, Miss Alice B. Temple, reports donations of books since August 5, 1874, as follows :

The Librarian also reports that due care does not appear to be taken by some of the patrons of the Library in using their books. The bindings are broken and leaves torn and defaced
2.4
by pencil marks. Constant effort is made to detect and punish the offenders by fine, but it is feared that some of the guilty escape. Parents should see to it that their children are taught to use special care while in possession of a book, that it may be returned in as good order as when taken from the Library.
The Librarian speaks in terms of commendation of the good order maintained in the Library by those in attendance, espe- cially the boys and young men. No case of suspension or discipline has occurred during the year.
The Treasurer reports as follows :

Through some oversight, no article was put in the warrant for the last annual town meeting in reference to an appropriation for the Library. The Selectmen, however, stated to the Trus. tees that they included in their estimate for general expenses allowed by the town, four hundred dollars for the Library. Of this we have received, in addition to the dog tax, $139 23 ; the dog tax, as the Trustees understand the vote of the town, being appropriated to the Library until otherwise ordered. In conse- quence of the want of the usual appropriation, the Trustees have not felt authorized to purchase any new books the past
25
year, and consequently, since the re-opening of the Library last summer, there has been less interest felt in it, and the circulation of books has somewhat diminished. Now in the present hard times, the Trustees are fully aware of the importance of re- trenchment and economy in all the town expenses, and if the town think they cannot afford an appropriation for the purchase of new books, the Trustees have not a word of remonstrance to make ; they merely wish that the cause of any falling off of interest in the Library among those who are in the habit of using it should be understood. The current expenses the past year have been kept as low as they can be. Books will wear out and must occasionally be rebound. All publishers, without any exception, that the Trustees have been able to discover, are too careless about the binding of their books, and too many of them print on paper which has no strength to it, being made of material which has been used over and over again and is nothing but shoddy. Add to these faults in the original manufacture, the careless handling of many who use the books, and it is a wonder we get as much service from them as we do.
The Trustees whose term of office expires at this time are William Proctor and Hiram Barrus.

A
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
ROAD COMMISSIONERS.
The Road Commissioners of Reading respectfully submit the following report :
We think the condition of the highways have been improved since making our last report. In many places we find the trav- eled part of the roads very narrow, and to make them so that teams can pass with safety, we have to grade wider than has been the practice in years past. Owing to the scarcity of good material for roads, especially in the vicinity of the village, the cost of repairs is much more than it otherwise would be. On account of dangerous places on Lowell street, we went to an extra expense of one hundred dollars. The hills on Haverhill and West streets were in such condition that we thought it for the best interests of the town to lay out more than the ordinary repairs, and a permanent work, instead of having it to repair again in course of two or three years. Highland and South streets are nearly complete. Summer street is not yet finished, but we think the balance of the appropriation will complete the work.
The annual large expenditures for bound stone, was occasioned by the establishing of the lines on Main and Lowell streets, by the County Commissioners.
The bridge on Main street in the north part of the town needs several new covering stones, also several smaller ones need lengthening and others relaying, and we would recommend rais- ing the sum of five hundred dollars for that purpose. For ordinary repairs, we think the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars should be appropriated.

The expenses under our control have been as follows, and the money has been paid to the following persons :
