Board of Health.
The Board of Health respectfully submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1914.
The general work of the health department has been carried on much as usual during the past year. The co-operation of the people in enforcing the health laws is very much desired. There are many folks who do not realize their duty relative to carrying out the instructions given them by the Board of Health. One of the things that is most essential to the Board is co-opera- tion.
One of the difficulties we have, is dealing with people who do not understand our language and it seems harder for them to understand what the law demands of them. We have been obliged to quarantine several wage-earners, paying them two- thirds of their regular wages, making the expense of this depart- ment much larger than heretofore.

Library Report.
The Trustees of the J. V. Fletcher Library respectfully submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1914.
The affairs of the Library have been carried on during the past year about as usual.
On the outside of the building, the windows have been puttied and the woodwork painted, and on the inside the floors have been treated with a coating of varnish and wax, so that they now present a much better appearance.
The large moose head, which has been placed in the upper hallway, was loaned to the Library through the kindness of Mr. Charles P. Dodge of Lowell, and is a very acceptable addition to the Library collection.
The Trustees ask for the following appropriations, viz .:
1. The unexpended balances as shown by the financial. statement.
2. The sum of one thousand dollars ($1.000) to meet current. expenses.
3. The receipts from the dog licenses in 1915.

Report of the Librarian
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE J. V. FLETCHER LIBRARY :
The report of the Library for the year beginning February 1, 1914, and ending December 31, 1914, is herewith presented. There have been no important changes in the work of the Library during the past year.
The Children's Department continues to be the busiest section, with about one-third of the entire circulation of books. The little ones who live near enough, and the older ones who come from a distance, are frequent visitors in the children's room, and an attempt is made to add enough new books and magazines to keep the supply attractive.
The arrangement of sending books to the schools in Granite- ville, Forge Village and Parkerville has been continued, and still proves very satisfactory, through the co-operation of the Super- intendent, Mr. Hill, and the various teachers. It seems to fully justify the slight additional expense in transportation to the villages.
Among the valuable books added during the year are the "New International Encyclopaedia," and "Our Wonder World," a fine set of books for young people. Both were purchased from the income of the John M. Osgood fund.
The supply of current fiction has been increased by the frequent gifts of Mr. Julian A. Cameron, amounting to nearly seventy volumes. These have been much appreciated.
As in past years, various collections of large photographs have been on exhibition in the hall. These sets cover a wide range of interesting and practical subjects, and include also reproductions of many beautiful works of art. The hall has been used, as usual, by the Woman's Club.
Interest in our collection of curios and relics has been shown by occasional gifts from the townspeople and other friends of the Library.
63
The increase in the circulation of periodicals has continued. All except current numbers may be borrowed; this has enlarged their usefulness to such an extent that it has seemed wise to add several new ones to those we have had in the past. The list of subscriptions for the coming year is as follows:
