The Librarian's report will show that the circulation of books this year is somewhat larger than that of a year ago. It is a sign of increasing appreciation of the Library, and of grow- ing culture. We rejoice in this as an evidence that the Library is meeting the needs of its patrons in larger measure each year.
Two points of the report will bear emphasis. First, the large and very gratifying use made of the Library by Granite- ville, Parkerville and Forge Village. Second, the remarkable large proportion of books, other than fiction, read during the past twelve months.
The catalogue was printed two years ago. Since that time a large number of books have been added and lists posted in the Library. But these are useless to those living in the outlying districts and other villages, as they must visit the Library to find out what the new books are. It seems imperative that a bulle- tin containing a list of these new books should be at once issued. We have had estimates made on this work, and recom- mend that the sum of fifty dollars be raised and appropriated for this purpose.
We also recommend that the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars be raised and appropriated in addition to the sum received for dog licenses in 1905, for the purchase of books and periodicals during the ensuing year.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS OF PUBLIC BURIAL GROUNDS.
The Commissioners report as follows :-
We are pleased to again report the increase of perpetual care funds this year. The present number is 37, five having been added the past year. In passing through our cemteries, one can see burial mounts without stones, neglected and overgrown with briers and weeds. Some of these, not all we are sorry to say, are the lots of families whose members have all passed away or moved to distant homes. Here is where a perpetual care fund would change these unsightly spots for all time, when relatives or friends interested have passed on. There are several lots that a little care would greatly improve. Stones have been placed and a little grading done at the time of the last burial, which often took place years ago. We earnestly urge all per- sons having lots in the various cemeteries, whether occupied or not, to visit them and see if a little work may not improve their condition, and thus prevent the strong contrast with those lots carefully cared for yearly, which tends to destroy the general beauty of the cemeteries. C. N. Richardson at Fairview and M. F .Hutchins and W. H. H. Burbeck at the other cemeteries, have given care to the various lots under perpetual care.
The Commissioners hope to be able to put in order the graves of the Civil War soldiers not cared for the present year. A suggestion has been made that a lot be selected as a "Soldiers' Lot" for the future, for the burial of those having no relatives in town. The Commissionrs have made no decision as yet. 'They will consider the present season, the desirability of requiring the owner of an unoccupied lot to grade and keep it in good order, within twelve months of taking the lot, under pain of forfeiture of same. It seems a reasonable requirement, as the
84
town furnishes the lot without any charge. W. H. H. Burbeck will have charge of Hillside Cemetery, in place of B. F. Nutting, recently deceased. The other cemeteries remain in the same care as last year. As satisfactory arrangements have not yet been made in regard to placing the name over each cemetery entrance, the Commissioners would respectfully recommend that the town raise and appropriate the usual sum of $200.00 for the coming year, the same to be expended for the care and improvement of the several cemeteries.
