REPORT ON CEMETERIES.
The Commissioners of Public Burial Grounds respectfully submit the following report of work done and expenses incurred during the past year, with recommendations for the year ensuing : -
The largest item of expense is that for making and repairing avenues in Fairview Cemetery. In order to render a desirable portion of the ground easily accessible, it was necessary to make a deep cut through a sharp ridge on the south side. The ploughing of the old ground near the highway brought a large quantity of small stones to the surface. These were put under the avenue made in the southeast corner, thereby raising it and enabling the Superintendent to save the loam for future use in grading lots. Those who remember the condition of the avenues a few years ago cannot fail to notice the great improvement that has now been made. With comparatively slight expense they can hereafter be kept free from grass and weeds, and in good repair.
It was considered more convenient and economical to do all the necessary work on the avenues in one cemetery before commencing it in the others ; and it seemed proper to begin with Fairview, it being the largest and most frequented. During the present year it is proposed to make new avenues and repair old ones in the North and the West burial grounds.
A well has been dug near the hearse house and a good pump put in it. According to all indications the supply of water will be permanent and abundant. For washing the hearse and watering plants and shrubs set out in the cemetery, this well will be conven- ient and useful.
The work of setting out trees, mentioned in our last report, has been well begun. The Superintendent set out about thirty maples last spring on the east and south sides ; and about twenty more were set out by Mr. S. M. Hutchins on the north side along the highway. In behalf of the town, the Commissioners gratefully acknowledge this welcome and disinterested service of Mr. Hutch- ins, and commend to others his generous example.
That the foliage may be more varied, and that the appearance of the cemetery may be rendered less desolate in winter, red cedar,
63
spruce and other evergreen trees should be set out in suitable places near the deciduous trees. It is our intention to procure trees of this kind, and also some hardy flowering shrubs, during the ensuing year. A hedge near the circular avenue behind the hearse house would be an attractive feature.
In response to the suggestion made in our last annual report, many ladies early in the year signed and presented to the Board a petition that the name of Snow's burial ground be changed to Fair- view Cemetery. The petition was gladly granted; and the ground will hereafter be called, in our town reports and records, by this more euphonious and appropriate name. We beg to renew the suggestion made last year, and again request the ladies having friends and relatives buried in the North and the West grounds to consult together and agree upon better names for these secluded but attractive burial places. We gladly acknowledge our error in stating last year that the family of Col. John Robinson had no living representative in Westford ; and we again submit to the con- sideration of those who are interested in the matter the propriety of naming the West burial ground after the most distinguished soldier of our town.
The Commissioners now have three funds entrusted to them, the income of which is to be expended annually on the lots desig- nated by the donors. The last of these was given in December last by Mr. Samuel Horne of Lowell. The funds are invested in Lowell Savings Banks of large deposits and undoubted stability. The attention of those desiring to make perpetual provision for the care of their lots is respectfully called to this excellent method.
The matter of building appropriate gateways at the main en - trances to the burial grounds is still under consideration, and some investigation has been made ; but it was thought best to defer this improvement for the present and expend the money at our disposal the past year on the avenues, the well and the fertilizing of the old ground.
A summer house of inexpensive but tasteful design, built near the centre of Fairview Cemetery, would be appreciated as a resting place by aged people and others who come from a distance to in- spect their lots. It is hoped that money can be spared for this purpose within a few years.
The Commissioners will, as heretofore, receive any sums owners of lots may wish to have expended on them, and do whatever work
64
is desired. All payments for this purpose should be made to Albert P. Richardson, Superintendent, on or before May 1st. Particular attention is called to the fact that the work must be begun early, in order to keep the lots in good condition during the summer ; and the necessary instructions should therefore be given at the time above mentioned.
While the town has done much to improve the condition of the burial grounds, and will doubtless continue to keep avenues and fences in good repair, the care of individual lots still remains under the control of their owners ; and whatever beauty our cemeteries may have will be largely due to the contributions they may make, and to the labor they may perform. The large increase in the number of those who employ the Commissioners to attend to their lots is ample proof that our people are increasingly regardful of the burial places of their dead and wish them to be kept green and fair. Many choose to beautify their lots by their own labor and care, thus co-operating with others, perhaps unconsciously, in a work of love and remembrance which cannot fail to elevate the character of the town.
In order to do the work required in the burial grounds, and to make further improvements in some of the ways above indicated, we recommend that the sum of three hundred dollars be raised and appropriated for the ensuing year.

LIBRARY REPORT.
The character of the books purchased for the Library during the past year is varied, as usual, to satisfy the diversity of the needs and the tastes of our people. Adhering to the approved custom of former years, an attempt has been made to keep the Library abreast of the times by adding to it contemporaneous books which seemed to be of interest and value, and also to enrich it by the purchase of standard works of long established reputation. Considering the amount expended, it is believed that the additions of the past year represent substantial progress in the effort to make the Library a reliable source of wholesome entertainment, and a useful instrument for literary or scholastic research
Among the larger and more valuable works bought during the year are, Von Holst's Constitutional History of the United States, in eight volumes ; Thiers' History of the Consulate and the Empire, in twelve volumes; Masson's Life of Milton, in seven volumes ; the Dryburgh edition of Scott's novels, in twenty- five volumes , the complete works of Matthew Arnold, in fourteen volumes ; the complete works of Huxley, in nine volumes ; Cram's excellent Atlas of the World, latest edition ; and about fifty care . fully selected volumes on the history, theory and practice of educa- tion.
Many books, for which the Trustees return grateful acknowl . edgement, have been presented to the Library during the past year. The thanks of the town are especially due to Mr. True A. Bean, who has given thirty-two bound volumes of interest and value and four sets of magazines, formerly belonging to the library of the Rev. Caleb Blake.
The need of ampler and better accommodations for the Library, so often referred to in former reports, was made the subject of careful deliberation by many of our citizens prior to our last annual town meeting. An excellent site for a new library building had already been acquired by the town ; and it seemed to many that the time had come for the people to vote on the proposi- tion to raise by taxation the money needed for building and furnish- ing a new library. It is believed that our people would cheerfully have voted for this wise and liberal undertaking ; but the necessity
68
for their doing so was most unexpectedly removed by the munifi- cence of Hon. J. Varnum Fletcher of Belmont, who gave the sum of $10,000 for the new building, and who has since made large additions to the generous sum originally given, in order to make the new Library attractive in appearance as well as spacious and convenient. The town promptly voted $5,000 in addition to the sum given by Mr. Fletcher, and elected a building committee of eight members, of which Captain Sherman H. Fletcher was subsequently chosen chairman and Herbert V. Hildreth secretary.
The work on the new Library is now far advanced, and in a few months the books will be transferred and the building dedi- cated. Some revision of the rules and regulations will then become necessary, and the matter of increasing the time during which the Library is to be kept open will be considered. The proper care of the building must be provided for, the reading room supplied with carefully selected papers and periodicals, and other measures taken to make the full usefulness of the new structure available for the benefit of the town.
By vote of the town, and with the hearty concurrence of all, the Library will hereafter bear the name of the loyal son of West- ford who has honored himself by giving the noble building dedi- cated to its uses. The Westford Public Library becomes the J. V. FLETCHER LIBRARY ; and the new designation will hereafter appear in the books, catalogues and reports. The Library has for many years been an unfailing source of refinement, solace and culture ; in the long future its beneficent influence will be enhanced by association with the name of its benefactor. Allusion has frequently been made to its educational value ; surely, hereafter, whether the volume taken from the Library be good or poor, the name printed on its label may at least suggest to the thoughtful reader lessons as precious as any pages can teach,-that wise phil- anthropy is better than hoarded wealth, that the only priceless service is that which promotes human welfare, and that even fine books and splendid libraries are but humble instruments for devel- oping and perfecting something infinitely better and grander than themselves - a benevolent and unselfish character, a stainless, honorable and useful life.
Having rendered all the service in his power to the people of his native town, Mr. Fletcher's noble deed lacks nothing which duty or loyalty can suggest ; the town, as a corporate body, having
69
voted what money was needed for the completion of the work, has also done all that the circumstances or the dictates of civic obliga- tion required : and the result is the creation of favorable conditions for increasing the intelligence, the culture and the contentment of our people.
But the wise and helpful use of these conditions is not within the power of any philanthropic donor to give, nor can it be bestowed by any vote of the town. This is left, wisely and neces- sarily, to the initiative of individuals; and if during the coming century the people of Westford are distinguished by the finer aud higher character, the purer and nobler ideals, which the love and diligent perusal of good books can develop, it will be because fathers and mothers have seen to it that their children should neither neglect the Library nor resort to it for harmful mental dissipation, but that they should make judicious use of its real treasures and extract from it whatever incentives to noble thought and honorable action the literary genius of the past ages may afford. It is believed that Westford already occupies an enviable position among the towns of Middlesex County, by reason of her enlightened public spirit and the character and intelligence of the people. May the establishment of the J. V. Fletcher Library be the cause and mark the beginning of a still further advance in all that makes for the happiness and honor of our beloved town.
Indications are not wanting that the advantages afforded by the Library are more highly appreciated from year to year. It was a matter of congratulation that we were able to mention in our last report an increase of 828 in the circulation; but the number of books issued during the past year is 2,714 above the very high figures of the preceding year. This is in part due to the provision made by the town for conveying books weekly to and from Graniteville and Forge Village. It is believed by the Trustees that the expense of carrying the books to these populous villages is wisely incurred.
The Library of 8,564 volumes from which the circulation is 12,093 in a single year, is surely placed where it belongs, and is doing the work for which it was designed.
Early in the spring Miss Kate S. Hamlin resigned her position on the Board of Trustees. Her faithful and efficient service of many years as an officer of the Library justly entitles her to the gratitude of the town. At a joint convention of the Selectmen and
70
the remaining members of the Board, Julian A. Cameron was chosen to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the year.
For the purchase of books and for supplying papers and periodicals for the reading room during the year next ensuing, we recommend that the sum of two hundred dollars be raised and appropriated.
