It is gratifying to note the increase of interest in the improve- ments thus far made. The movement on the part of the town has received the support and cordial sympathy of all, and has encouraged many to bestow time and labor in beautifying the lots where friends or relatives are buried. Others have voluntarily con-
59
tributed money to be spent in caring for lots, or for the repair of tombs.
If this co-operation of the town and of individuals continues, our Burial Grounds will soon lose all appearance of neglect and unsight- liness, and become creditable to the good taste and thoughtfulness of our people.
In order to carry on the work as above indicated, we recommend that the sum of three hundred dollars be raised and appropriated for the ensuing year.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE W. HEYWOOD, ALLAN CAMERON, WILLIAM E. FROST, Commissioners of Public Cemeteries.

LIBRARY REPORT.
The Trustees of Westford Public Library respectfully submit the following report for the year ending Feb. 27, 1894:
There is perhaps nothing of special moment in regard to the Library which the Trustees need to recommend at the present time. During the past year the Library has continued, as always before, its important work in educating, broadening, and entertain- ing our citizens. All know that the demand for accommodations of greater convenience and greater safety increases with each year, and all believe that the time is not far distant when Westford will proudly and gladly take steps to provide a special building for the needs of the Library.
Each year our Library is more and more used by scholars, and the Trustees realizing this fact take pains that it shall not only be richer in the number of books added annually to its shelves, but that a fair proportion of the money spent shall be spent for books of permanent value which shall decidedly increase its intrinsic worth. With this object in mind the Trustees have added quite largely to the reference department. Among these books they would like particularly to call attention to "Poole's Index," a work of special value to be found in all good libraries and of the first importance to students of any subject; also, to a six volume edition of the "Cyclopedia of American Biography"; to an "Index to General Literature" in one volume; and to "Chambers' Book of Days" in two large illustrated volumes.
They would also like to call the attention of readers to one of the most entertaining and instructive departments in the Library, and which is too often overlooked, that of the Miscellaneous de- partment. Many of the books of greatest interest to the general reader it is found difficult to harmonize with any special class and they are consequently placed in a class by themselves, and are often
70
neglected, or regarded as unimportant, because so generally classified, but many not in the habit of examining this department would be surprised at the interesting books to be found here.
Many valuable and instructive works have also been added, as will be seen by the catalogue, to the Scientific, Historical, and Bio- graphical departments. The Fiction department needs no word from the Trustees, as they feel sure all will examine that for them- selves. The Children's department has received a generous addi- tion of books, many of which are by authors whose names are suffi- cient guaranty of their worth.
The Library is indebted for gifts to the following persons: Mr. Charles L. Hildreth for a volume of biographical sketches of Massa- chusetts men, called "Massachusetts of To-day"; to Mr. Steven Salisbury of Worcester for "Worcester's Columbian Tribute"; to Mrs. J. D. Morse for "Conversations on the Bible"; to Mr. Wilton L. Richardson of New York for "Psychic Phenomena"; to Mr. John M. Fletcher for sixty-nine copies of R. B. Thomas' Almanac, from 1817-1892, lacking only six numbers of being a continuous set; to Gen. J. P. Cilley for a pamphlet; to Gen. Adelbert Ames for a pamphlet; to Mr. George J. Burns for copy of address; to Mr. Foster for school report; to Mr. Warren Hapgood for History of Harvard.

As the Trustees have been seriously incommoded in years past by the lack of funds between the Annual Town Meeting in March and the time in the late summer or early autumn when the regular appropriation may be drawn upon, they have purposely left in the treasury a sum somewhat larger than heretofore to meet demands for books which come out during the spring and summer.
We recommend that the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars be raised and appropriated for the purchase of books during the ensu- ing year.
