REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE TOWN LIBRARY
FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 1, 1901.
To the Selectmen:
The whole number of volumes now on the catalogue is 7,352, of which 254 have been added during the past year. Of these 112 have been purchased with the annual appro- priation and 142 have been presented by various donors, a list of whom is printed with this report. Especial thanks are due to the many friends who have presented works of value to the library during the past year. Particular men- tion should be made of the very liberal gifts received from Hon. Henry E. Howland and Chandler Robbins, Esq. Each of these gentlemen presented about 30 volumes of new books, carefully selected by themselves with the view of procuring interesting works of permanent value and espe- cially such as should be of interest to the young. Many of the books presented by them have already proved use- ful to the scholars in the public schools in connection with their subjects of study.
The number of volumes taken out during the year 1900 was 8,808, made up as follows:
Main library, 8,004
North Walpole branch, 654
Drewsville branch, 150
There has been a gain in circulation in the main library and a slight falling off in Drewsville and North Walpole. The total is 158 less than last vear.
The number of persons using the library and reading room in 1900 was 9,201, a gain of about 150 from last
25
year. Every year since the opening of the library building has shown a gain in attendance, from 6,028 in 1893, the first year in which a record was kept, to the present large number.
The more liberal appropriation has enabled the commit- tee to purchase more new books than usual, as well as some books more costly than they have felt warranted in buying in former years. The committee would like to in- crease the collection of histories of New Hampshire towns, especially of towns in Cheshire county, and hope to do something in this direction the coming year.
The following periodicals are taken and paid for by the fund maintained by private subscription : Harper's, Atlan- tic, Scribner's, Cosmopolitan, Outing, New England, Re- view of Reviews, McClure's, St. Nicholas, Critic, Granite Monthly, Illustrated London News, Outlook, Life, Judge, Puck and Walpole Gazette. Mrs. Lucy Schultz contributes Harper's Weekly and the Bookbuyer, and Henry G. Whee- lock of New York, the Century, Longman's and the Strand.
The purchase of the Governor Bradford rocking chair for the reading room perhaps deserves passing mention. Two more of the rare books printed in Walpole about 100 years ago and a pamphlet also printed here in 1807 were purchased at a reasonable price from a Boston bookseller and placed in the cabinet. Copies of the "Farmer's Mu- seum," the weekly paper printed here by Thomas & Carl- isle about 1800, will be very acceptable. It is very desir- able to complete the set, of which there is only a part in the library.
During the year Miss Harriet G. Hosmer, of Watertown, Mass., the sculptress, whose parents were both natives of Walpole, has presented to the library an autograph letter written to her by Robert Browning, the poet, which it is intended to have framed and hung in the reading room as a valuable memento of two distinguished persons.
The work of making catalogue cards of new books dur- ing the past year has been done by the committee, and the fund remains the same as by the last report, $21.43 on
W 4

hand. The committee recommend the same appropriation as last year ($400).

REPORT OF WALPOLE CEMETERY COMMITTEE,
FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 1, 1901.
To the Selectmen:
We have to report that the same care has been used to keep the village cemetery and the cemeteries in Drewsville and on Carpenter hill in good order as in previous years. In addition to the general care of the grounds and drive- ways, especial attention has been paid to the lots which are cared for by the town with the income of funds left for the purpose. They have been kept mowed and en- riched and plants have been set out when desired by rela- tives. Four new funds have become available during the year: the Livermore fund presented by the children of Mrs. Eliza E. Livermore, the Ann Faulkner Thayer fund from the estate of Mrs. Thayer, the Lucius P. Booth fund be- queathed by Mrs. Booth, and the Lorenz Genzer fund, being the balance of a fund set aside by Mrs. Genzer for the expenses of her last sickness and burial. As shown by the financial report, it was found necessary to expend an amount much larger than the income in grading the Booth lot, but the deficiency will gradually be made up by future income. Extra expense was also incurred on the Dickey lot.
Two new lots have been assigned during the year in the new cemetery to residents of the town applying for them. There were twenty-one burials in the village ceme- tery during the year 1900. Of these, twelve were residents of Walpole, and nine were of former residents, who were brought here for burial. Three persons dying in town were taken to other towns for burial.
29
As promised in last year's report, the driveway near the Lucke lot, which was so steep as to be unsafe, has been graded and gravelled. During the coming year, it is intended to repair and paint the cemetery fence. The hearse house in Drewsville has been slated during the past year.
We have referred in previous reports to the need of a driveway along the side hill in the new cemetery in order to make the lots in that vicinity accessible. To construct a driveway of suitable width for carriages with proper entrances will be very difficult and expensive. It has been suggested that it may be better economy in the end to let the hillside remain as an unoccupied space, reached by paths, and contributing to the natural beauty of the cemetery. If this plan is adopted, it will not be many years before it will become necessary for the town to take land to extend the cemetery, as most of the lots not taken up are located on this hillside. Until this point is decided, it does not seem best to incur the large expense of building such a driveway.
The list of soldiers in the cemetery has been increased by the name of William W. Stone, who died in Drewsville, and being cared for by the town was buried in the "Stranger's lot." He is believed to have belonged to Co. C, 14th N. H. Volunteers, and as soon as proof of his ser- vice can be obtained, it is intended to apply to the War Department for a soldier's headstone. Being a new comer in town, he was not generally known to our citizens.
The usual appropriation of two hundred dollars is recommended.
