The Board respectfully calls attention to their annual report, which shows the Electric Light Plant to be in a very prosperous condition. The steam and electric machines and the lines are in a high state of efficiency and the real estate is in excellent repair.
Before another fall the Town will be completely re-lamped with enclosed arcs, which give such satisfactory street lighting.
Our books continue to show a steady increase in customers, and this, together with the efficiency of our apparatus, certainly makes the future look bright for the Municipal Light and Power Plant.
Respectfully,
WILLIAM S. KINSLEY, GEORGE L. FLINT, WALTER F. COOK, Municipal Light Board.

The Public Library continues to receive the liberal patronage of our citizens. Its use for other purposes than the circulation of fiction also increases, and the plan of putting recent accessions upon open shelves undoubtedly operates in this direction.
Current purchases have included a considerable number of volumes especially adapted to reference work in connection with the schools, and others will be purchased upon the suggestion of teachers from time to time.
In the past certain volumes have been added for the benefit of study classes connected with the Woman's Club, or upon the request of individuals engaged in particular lines of research. The Trustees welcome suggestions of this kind, invite them, and will always, as far as possible, supply books intended to aid serious work requiring literary matter not already on our shelves.

The present Librarian, Miss Brown, has introduced the plan of a card catalogue for all new accessions. This takes the place of the printed accession lists formerly used, and, being available at all times, forms the nucleus of the card catalogue which should event- ually include everything in the library.
It has been suggested that a special effort be made to obtain all books which may have been written by residents of Reading, these to be separately shelved and preserved as a distinct department of the library. The suggestion is a good one. Such a collection would have great historic interest, and its value would increase from year to year. Already many of the volumes referred to are in our possession. Others are extremely rare and cannot easily be found. Some may be in private libraries in town. The Trustees will gratefully receive gifts of bound books, pamphlets, or other literary material by Reading authors, and respectfully solicit such gifts from any source, and will supplement them by purchases in order to make the collection as complete as possible.
The legacy of $200 received from the estate of Miss Climena Wakefield, acknowledged in our last report, has been invested through the Town Treasurer, for the benefit of the library.
The collection of books given by Miss Wakefield, prior to her death, has been placed in a separate case for reference use within the library.
The Trustees have received the resignation of Mr. F. E. Whit- temore, a member of the board, due to his removal from this town. As Mr. Whittemore's term expires with the close of the present year, the vacancy has not been filled. Two vacancies, therefore, require to be filled at the ensuing town meeting, the term of Mr. Cyrus M. Barrows also expiring.
We recommend an appropriation of $900, the same as granted for the present year, in addition to the proceeds of the dog tax, for
211
the maintenance of the library during the year ending January 31, 1905.
