76 SUMMARY OF APPROPRIATIONS, ETC.
In concluding his report, the auditor wishes to say that, in
November, 1874, several departments were notified that their
appropriations were nearly exhausted, and that one of the
duties of the auditor, as defined by vote of the town, was to
see that no appropriation was exceeded. It became necessary,
therefore, to bring the matter of further appropriation befure
the town, and at a town meeting held Dec. 22, 1874, appropri•
atious were made, and authority given, to the Selectmen to
make such transfers as they may deem expedient. These
transfers have been so made, and with them no account has
been overdrawn. Each department has been urged to have
all claims against it presented and paid, that no old claims may
be paid out of the appropriations which may be made the coming
year. This has been dune for the most part, and it is believed
that the indebtedness of the town is small, aside from the
town debt ($101,893) and borrowed money, anticipating taxes
($20,000).
All of which is respectfully submitted,
E. B. EATON, Auditor.
SELECTUEYS REPORT) WITH SUPPLEMENT.
The old and time-honored nacre of Watertown still exists.
Ilthough the grasping spirit of annexation has reached her
,oath-eastern borders, and is attempting to push over her
suuthern line, yet Watertown still retains her identity as a
:own, and we hope will long continue to do so.
Repeatedly shorn of her territory, she has nevertheless
:ontinued to increase in business and wealth, showing that the
,nterprise of her citizens has remained unshaken, and proved
;ompetent to bridge over emergencies.
Growth, and increase in wealth are clue largely to individ-
eaal enterprise ; but a well administered government may do
smuch to call forth individual energy and activity, and lather
within its fold not only increased population, but increased
:prosperity — morally, educationally, socially, and financially.
To render the administration of a town government effec-
;ive in developing its resources, and securing its highest
•nterests, there should be co-operation of intent and effort
aetween the citizens and the chosen authorities ; and to the
and that as much as possible may be clone to facilitate the
growth and prosperity of our town, we ask from the citizens
a, fair consideration of the subjects treated upon, and the
we advanced in this report.
GENERAL BiiSlV ESS.
The business of the town confided to its officers is steadily
reasing, requiring with each successive Sear an additional
mount of time. By systematizing) that is by reference of
bjects to be acted upon to committees chosen for special
ties, the labor perforined has been Simplified, and rendered
orc, intellifm
gible for final action. We have held regular
78 SELECTMEN IS REPORT, WITH SUPPLEMENT.
meetings each Monday evening throughout the year, those on
second Mcndays having been devoted mainly to examination
of, and ordering the payn►ent of, bills or demands against the
town. For the amount of bills, ordered, as well as for infor.
mat►on on the financial condition of the town, we rely upon,
and respectfully refer the citizens to the Reports of the
Auditor and Treasurer.
A UDITJr.
The office of Auditor, as created by vote of the town at the
last annual meeting, in response to recommendations of the
Selectmen in the Report fbr 1873, has proved highly benefi.
cial, and we heartily recommend the continuance of that
office.
B URTAL GROUND.
As authorized by vote of the town, a strip of land along
the northern border of the village Burial Ground, comprising
10,830 square feet of land, has been purchased of Jeremiah
and William W. Russell, and a wall has been built on the said
northern border as f'Ar as the grade of the ground required
such a structure. The appropriation made for those purposes
has covered the expense, but there is some grading to be
done; a light fence should be built on the top of the wall, and
at the east and west end; the old wall on common and Mount
Auburn Streets should be repaired, and all the wall should
be pointed. We estimate the cost of the work at *1,000,
which sum we recommend should be granted and appropri-
ated for the same.
LOCK-UP.
An appropriation for the building of a new 11 Lock-up " wag
made at the last annual meeting of $1,000 ; and the 11 Lock-
up " has been built. It comprises seven cells, built of brick
and iron, and two rooms of wood. The cells can be used
either to accommodate lodgers or to confine prisoners. The
whole is in good comfortable shape and condition.
' SELECTMEN 6 REPORT, WITH SUPPLEMENT. 79
FIRE POLICE.
The organization of a Fire I'olice has proved of good
service. It has been efficient at fires, which have been few
,however, and ha, proved useful on many occasions of einer-
igeucy. We hope the organization will be continued.
STREET SPRINKLER.
Although a grant of $500 was made for purchasing a
Street Sprinkler, yet, by the arraugein nts whisk were M31,10
by individuals, with reference to watering the streets, it was
{ound that two sprinklers could not be used advantageously.
Consequently the grant has not been used for the appropriated
purpose, but has been transferred to credits of Fire Depart-
ment.
STREET LIGHTS.
Until the town is completely furnished with Street Lights
tl,e subjdct will continue to be one of yearly- increasing et-
ense.
For the past year they have been located at such points as
Jere deemed most essential, but there are still many places
where they are needed. The number of Street Lights in the
own is one hundred and twenty two (122). Of these
seventy•Hix are lighted with gas, twenty-nine (29) with
gasoline, and * seventeen (17) with oil. The first cost of
each post and lamp is at present contract price $26.
The cost per year of each lamp burning g•js is $29 ; of each
lamp burning gasoline, $18 ; of each lamb burning oil, $12.
Tho gasoline gives a strong light, equal, during most of the
winter weather, to gas ; and the cost is eleven dollars ($I I )
Pet' hunp lass. Providing gasoline was used to the exclusion
of gas, the saving per year, on the present number pe
of, lam ,
would he $8311). Here seems to be an opening, which, in point
of F�couumy, is worthy of couside rat iou.

ADDITION TO ENGINE-MO USE.
This matter was referred to us at the last annual meeting,
with instructions to report thereon at a future town meeting.
Plans and estimates for an addition Have been procured,
which will be submitted at the March meeting.
REHOVAL OF IIOUSE-RAILROAD TRACK.
Tito action of the selectmen upon this subject was reported
to the town at a town meeting held Dec. 22, 1874 whereon
the town 11 voted and instructed the selectmen to order the
Union Railway Company to remove their track from its
present location to the centre of Mount Auburn Street, from
Main Street to Walnut Street ; and likewise to order said
company to restore the track of said road, so far as the same
has been raised or lowered, between Walnut Street and
Cambridge line, to its original grade."
A copy of the vote has been sent to the President and
Directors of the Union Railway Company as a preliminary
document, but it.has elicited no reply.
SALE OF TOWN N FAR 3L
The subject of selling the Town Farm was referred to us
at the last annual meeting, with instructions to report at a
future meeting.
In our judgment, this matter is almost entirely one of finan-
cial consideration. The value of the Town-Farm land, as per
appraiser's estimate for the year 1873-4, was "!k:31,500, or
$1,000 per acre. Ten years ago, the valuation of land ad-
joining the Town Farm, for the purposes of taxation, was
$225 per acre. The same land is now valued, for the same
purpose, at $1,000 per acre, the same value as that fixed by
the appraisers. Casting aside the value of the products of
the farm, as in comparison herewith of small account, we
have to consider simply whether the money which could be
secured by sale of the land would accumulate faster than the
value of the land advances. From the statement already
SELECTMEN 9S REPO..T, WITH SUPPLEMENT. 81
made, covering the past ten years, it is plain that the value
of the land has increased doubly faster than an amount of
money of equal value would have accumulated.
We are aware that, during the past two years, there has
been an inflation in the price of land ; but, judging from
+ present developments, and making all proper allowance for
inflation, we are of the opinion that it is the part of wisdom
and prudence to retain the land.
CONCRETE SIDEWALKS.
The appropriation for concrete sidewalks has not been
wholly used. Such walks have been laid in nearly every
instance asked f'or ; and we believe that the outlay of money
for such sidewalks is money well anal satisfactorily expended.
A new principle, however, has been inaugurated with refer-
nee to the amount to be assessed upon the abettors.
At the last session of the General Court, the following law
concerning sidewalks was passed : —
[CriAP. 107.]
AN ACT concerning Sidewalks.
Be 'enacted, &c., as folloics: —
SECT. 1. Chapter three hundred and three of the acts of
Ceiglteen hundred and seventy-two is amended so as to pro.
iele that no abuttor shall be assessed for the esp enanye of an
sidewalk a stun exceeding one per cent of the valuation
of his estate abutting on such sidewalk as fixed by the
' annual assessment last preceding the construction of quell
sidewalk.
SECT. 2. The provisions of chapter three hundred and
three of the acts of eighteen hundred and seventy-two, as
amended by the first section of this act, are extended to any
town accepting the same at ,in aunual meeting : alld the
Rut.l,oritV conferred by said act upon the mayor and alde�rm��u
of cities is conferred upon the selectmen of.such tolvil.
SECT. I The provisions of this act shall not apply to any

sidewalk now constructed according to the provisions of
chapter three hundred and three of the acts of eighteen
hundred and seventy-two, nor to any city unless accepted by
the city council thereof. Approved 31arch 28, 1874.
We respectfully ask of the town the acceptance of the
provisions of chapter three hundred and three of the acts of
eighteen hundred and seventy-two, as amended by the first
section of the act of eighteen hundred and seventy-four.
SIDEWALK OVER CHARLES .RIVER.
At the last annual meeting, this subject was referred to
the selectmen, with instructions to obtain estimates of the
cost of a suitable sidewalk, and to report to the town at a
future meeting. We have obtained such estimates, which
are in readiness to be submitted at the annual March
meeting.
The cost of building a sidewalk similar to that now on the
east side, over the river, cannot be less than ;A,1,000. We are
of opinion that a sidewalk is much needed ; but we are in
doubt whether a structure of wood, like that on the east side,
would be of sufficient strength to withstand the pressure of
ice which comes down the river during the Spring freshets.
It is now twenty years since the bridge over Charles River
was new covered, and it seems reasonable to suppose that the time
is not far distant when it will have to be re-covered. When it
becomes necessary to do that work, the stone retaining-walls on
eacli side should be moved out to the lines of the street, and
filled in solid. When this is done, it will be an easy matter to
construct a good and substantial walk over the water-flow, and
thus secure a permanent structure. It is therefore a question
of economy, whether to build a structure of wood for present
Purposes, or to wait a few years and secure one of a permanent
nature.
SELECTUENIS REPORT, WITH SUPPLEMENT. 83
i LAYING OUT AND WIDENING OF STREETS.
Considerable time has been spent on these subjects, which, of
course, could not be embraced in our regular meetings. The
number of new streets laid out and accepted, is greater than in
any pre%,ious year ; and while they form new links in the chain
of increasing expense, yet at the same time they indicate growth,
in «vealth and population.
The necessity for widening and straightening old streets,
becomes more and more apparent, and the pressure for such
widenings, &c., will continue, until all the narrow and crooked
arenues for public travel are put in proper shape and condition.
The demand for new streets will inevitably be commensurate
with the increase of population, and in many instances may be
both reasonable and entirely independent of such cause, while
speculative investments in land are sure to add their claims.
JL The laying out of new streets should be done in such a manner
as to secure, eventually, at least, both grade and surface drain-
age ; which subjects are very likely to be overlooked by persons
who may lay out their land as best suits their convenience. In
connection with this view of the matter, we respectfully sug-
gest the passage of a by-law by the town, which shall require
the consent of the Selectmen in writing, in all cases in the future,
tonchinc, the laying out and location of new streets.
The streets laid out and accepted during the past year, are
Centre, Marshall, Parker, Garnet, White, Whitney, Hovey, and
Carroll Streets, and Ilarnden and Lowell Avenues.
Market Street has been newly laid out from the lower square
to the United States Arsenal Grounds.
The following streets have been widened and straightened : —
i Main Street for a short distance in front of Otis Tiros. stare,
l `'Walnut Street from ;Mount Auburn Street to the land of the
i
Fitchburg Railroad Company, Arlington Street from Mount
Auburn Street to Arsenal Street, Coolidge Avenue f'roin Arse-
nal Street to the easterly entrance to ]nand of Albert Brown,
formerly the Winchester estate.

81 SELECTMFN1i REPORT, WITH SUPPLEMENT.
NEW STREET FROM fO UNT AUBURN STREET TO
,SPRING STREET.
On this snbju-et a partial report was submitted to the town at
the meeting Feld Dec. 22., 1874, which was recommitted to us
with the request that we should consider the utility, satisfai ction,
and comparative expense of a passw-ay, for pedestrians onl`•, and
to report at the next town meeting. We have so far considered
this matter as to report that a passway for foot-passengers of nut
less than twelve feet in width would give general satisfaction.
In view of the fact that an application fur such a walk will soon
be made in due form, we are not at present prepared to submit
an estimate of the expense.
BRIDGES AND CULVERTS.
The bridge over the Mill Creek has been for a long time a
source of anxiety and annoyance, on accowit of the rapidity of
the wear and decav of the planking. A bail break occurred in
the bridge last spring ; and we have endeavored to avoid further
breaks fbr a considerable length of time, by rebuilding the upper
portion in as substantial a manner as p )ssible. It. is now con-
structed of timber fourteen inches deep over the whole surface ;
on the top of' the timbers is a thick coat of cement, then ei-,rht
inclies of crushed stone, and the tole coating is of gravel. The
excess in this department is clue to tile. rebuilding of this bridge.
The bridge at the Xtna hills will require new planking, the
coming year. The bride on Arsenal Street has been new
planked during the bast year, and is in good order.
C UL NERTS.
The culvert over Treadway Bro ,k, on SUnimer Street, will
have to be taken up and thoroughly rebuilt during the ensuing
veal'. The expense is covered in the estimates.
Under the Bead of culverts there has been a minglin(f of sur-
face-drainage expense with that pertaining to culverts. As the
surface-draina(;e is likely to become more of an item of expense
than culverts, we have, in our estimate of expenses, made a
separate item for that purpose.

RESERVOIRS.
The appropriation for reservoirs has not been fully expended
for that purpose. We do) not wish to abandon the system of
reservoirs, but we think that tale addition of one reservoir per
year will soon supply the real want-, in that respect. The engi-
neers of the Fire Departn.ent will undoubtedly st.b►rtit their
views on this subject.

86 SELECTMEN'S REPORT, WITH SUPPLEMENT.
And thereon voted and adopted the following resolutions ;
to wit : —
Resolved, That the town of Watertown accepts with gratitude of the
bequest of its late and highly-esteemed citizen,John Templeton,as expressed
in his last wid and testament; and will Guard with judi(-ious care the invest-
ment of said bequest, an(l the distribution of the income thereof, according
to the requirements of said will,
Resolved, That it is with the liveliest appreciation of the generous char-
acter of the donor, not only in this instance expressed, but as manifested
throughout our whole intercourse and acquaintance with him as a citizen,
that we shall revere and cherish his memory.
Resolved, That the aforesaid bequest, being in the sum of two thousand
five hundred dollars, shall be put in char e of the selectmen of the town, by
them to be safely invested, and they or their successors in office shall
receive and pay out the income thereof in accordance with the terms of the
bequest.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the executors
of the will of the donor by the town clerk, and that the letter from the
executors covering an extract from the will, together with the resolutions,
be printed in the next Town Report.
I certify that the foregoing is a true copy from the record
and files of the town, and that a copy of the resolutions has
been forwarded as directed.
Attest : JOSPPH CRAFT,
Town Clerk.
It will be noticed that the letter from the executors bears
date Aug. 5, 1874, whereas the action of tite town bears date
of Dec. 22, 18 7 4. It is proper, therefore, to state that the
selectmen, on the 17th of August, acknowledged the receipt
of the executor's letter, and, in behalf of the town, accepted
of the bequest ; whereupon the money was paid to the select-
men : and the income which accrued up to Christmas was dis-
tributed to such persons as we thought deserving. But we
deemed that the corporate action of the town would place the
matter in a more satisfactory form ; and it was therefore sub-
mitted for that purpose. The money is now drawing seven
per cent interest, for the security of which we at present bold
the note of' the town of Watertown.
SELECTMEN'S REPORT, WITH SUPPLEMENT. 8
Having passed in review the principal matters which have
called for our attention, we desire to add a few suggestions
bearing upon the expenses of the past, and looking towards
economy for the coming fiscal year.
In the Report of Fels. 2, 1874, strong ground was taken for
limiting the town-grants to a per tentage of the valuation.
We believe in that doctrine. We believe also in making liberal
appropriations for the necessary uses and expenses of the
town ; and that this can be done within the limits of the
present rate of taxation. Our predecessors thought 1.20
per centum of the valuation of the town sufficient; and we
say Amen to that judgment. For the past year, 1.35 was
required ; but many of the items, which swelled the expenses
of the past year, were forced upon the town by casualties,
while others were of such a nature as may be conveniently
and without injury, dropped from the list of estimated ex-
penses. We think that if the grants and appropriations for
the ensuing fiscal year do not exceed the amount embraced
in the schedule of estimated expenses, that the taxes will be
soniewhat diminished. And why should the estimated ex-
penses be exceeded ? They are made up after a careful
examination of what has been required, and what are the
0prospective wants or needs of the various departments. We
think some check should be applied to prevent overriding, by
hurried or excited measures, such estimates. And to this
end we suggest the passage of a vote, or the enactment of a
by-law, which shall require of any department, asking for a
larger grant than that recommended by the selectmen in their
estimate, to get the approval of a committee, to be chosen or
appointed by the town for that purpose. If this is done, and
if the estimates, as made up by the selectmen, or by a com-
mittee chosen for that purpose, are adhered to, the limit of
Per tentage, hereinbefore alluded to, can be easily adjusted.
Watertown occupies an enviable position arnong her three
hundred and forty sister-towns and cities in the State, as I.e-
gards area,population, and wealth combined. In taxable area
tljero are but eight towns and cities in the State smaller than
88 SELECTMEN'$ REPORT, WITH SUPPLEMENT.
Watertown. They are Provincetown, Gay Head, 'NTah.,nt,
Swampscott, Everett, Hull, Chelsea, and Winthrop. She
stands, therefore, in this respect, at the low rank of numl►er
331 ; but she rises in importance when considered integrally.
According to the census of 1870, she stands number 59 in
point of population, while there are but twelve (12) towns and
cities more densely populated, — the ratio of her population
per acre being as 1 to 0.4t2+. There are but twenty-six (26)
towns and cities in the State that have a valuation larger than
Watertown, and of that number seventeen ( 17) are cities.
She therefore stands number 27 in point of wealth ; and if
only towns are considered in the comparison, she stands
number 10. In point of wealth, by counties, Middlesex County
stands number 2 ; and Watertown stands number 9 as against
the fifty-four towns and cities in the county. And counting
out the four cities, she stands number 5. If the valuation of
the towns and cities of the State were distributed per capita
according to the census of 1810, Watertown would stand
number 6. If the valuation were distributed per acre, she
would stand number 10. We append to this report a statis-
tical table in proof of the above statements. By her liberal
appropriations for schools, she ranks number 5 in the State
in the apportionment of the appropriations to each child
between the ages of five and fifteen years of age. On the
same basis, she stands number 2 in the county of Middlesex.
In the percentage of her taxable property, as applied to the
support of schools, she stands number 53 in the State, and
number 7 in the county of Middlesex.
The average rate of taxation in the State for 1871, was
$15.01— on 81,000. The average rate in the county of' DIid-
dlesex for the same year wa, $t1.13+ on $1,000. The rate
for Watertown way $13.50 on -1,000, or `1.54 per e1,000 less
than the average for the State, and $0.63+ on $1 ,000 less
than the average for Middlesex County. In addition to the
forgoing facts, we might cell attention to the natural attrac-
tions of Watertown ; but they are visible, and will of their
own merits command attention.
SELECTMEN'S REP .)RT, WITH SUPPLEMENT. 89
We have thus shown that Watertown not only has Within
herself the essential elements of growth and prosperity, but
offers, through them, imusual inducements to enterprising
people beyond her borders. _Let us by unity of effo t pre-
serve and increase her relative position. With a careful eye
to the grants and appropriations, paying as we grant, and
with judicious management on the pat•t of our oficials, we
shall be. sure to accomplish that result.

We have been in receipt of the following circulars or invi-
tations, for some time, and in considering what would be the
bes,t method of bringing the subjects to the notice of the
citizens, we concluded to adopt the method of printing them
in the Town Report. It only remains for the citizen; to take
such action in the matter as shall do honor to the occasion.

APRIL 19.
LEYI\GT0.-1, Dec. 21, 18 i 4.
GENTLEMEN, — The citizens of this town have resolved to
celebrate the Hundredth Anniversary of the " Battle of Lex-
ington " on the 19th of April next.
The Revolution which made us an independent nation is
'Worthy of the highest consideration, and no locality can be
more appropriate for commemorating its opening scenes than
the very spot where the first blood was shed, the first martyrs
fell, and the first resistance in arms was offered to British
aggression.
It is proposed to arrange fir the celebration of the day
regardful of the broad historic interest which pertains to the
event. The citizens of the country generally are invited to
join in the observances.
The prominent features of the day will consist of an oration,
Vie unveiling of the Statues of John Hancock and Samuel
Aflams, — who had sought refilge from British proscription in
Lexington, and were under its protection on that day, — acid
a ))"blic dinner.
It is expected that the occasion will be honored by the

presence of the Executive of the United States, the State of
Massachu-zetts, representatives of the different departmeut9
of the National and State governments, literary, and other
organizations, and distinguished individual: of the Republic,
whose wordE of eloquence and wisdom will add interest to
the occasion.
Though the subject of our rejoicing is truly national, the
cities and towns which participated in the events of that day
are regarded with peculiar interest. Your citizens therefore
are invited to join in the commemoration of this event, which
is our common inheritance.
Your town is especially invited to be represented by a
delegation of three from its citizens as guests of the town of
Lexington.

GENTLEMEN, — Since addressing you a circular some weeks

memorating the opening scene of the American Revolution,
and asking you to select a delegation of three to visit us as
guests of the town, on the 19th of April next ; we have, hall
intimations from several towns, that their citizens would like
to conie to Lexington in an organized form, if that would be
agreeable to us.
AVe are free to say that nothing would please us better
than such an arrangement. If your citizens should cone
organized, as we hope they may, it would not only add to the
interest of the occasion, but it mould ensure them a better

tate the services of the day. They could adopt such an
organization as they pleased, with or without banners or
P iml ignia; but we w,�uld respectfully suggest that at llaLrsh-al of
your own be appointed, who, knowing your own people, could
readily form them, and so greatly aid in bringing them iuto
line.
AS we anticipate a large cullection on that day, it cannot be
expected that we should receive the whole community as
guests ; but at the same tirne, if your citizens come thus or-
ganized, we should welcome your Marshal as a fellow laborer
with us to our hospitality. We :incerely hope we may have
the pleasure of seeing a large number of your people on that
occasion, who, in fact, are equally interested with ourselves
in the events we commemorate.

REPORT OF THE ENGINEERS OF FIDE
vEPARTMEN1 T.
In compliance with the requirements, the board of engineers
do submit herewith their annual report of the condition of the
department for the year ending Feb. 1, 18 i 5.
Annexed, is a statement of its organization, cost of maintain-
ing the same, and such other information as will enable the town
to understand the wants and necessities of tire' department the
toting year. The department has continued the past year to
maintain its previous high reputation, promptly answering all
calls of duty with alacrity and readiness to face danger ; but
fey;- persons, aside from the members of the department, do real-
ize the hardships and danger they in many instances have in
battling the fire element.
The department as now organized is as follows : a board of
tbree engineers, of which one is chosen chief, as require) by the
law of the State, and acts as chairman of the board, and is in-
vested with such autbot it`- over the whole of the department,
as the board by their by-laws see fit to adopt fbr their govern-
inent., and is titled Chief Engineer.
The department consists of third--six members inclusive ; and
is composed of a carefully selected and experienced body of fire-
men : has again its usual fortunate record, and is in good con-
dition. A Bose company of fifteen men, with J. G. Holbrook
foreman, is attached to the steam en,ine %%-itll engineinan, a�sist-
antengineman, and driver ; the engmeman and driver is con-
stantly employed, and at the engine horse day and night. Also
a company of fifteen men, with W. J. Mills foreman, attain d
to the hoof: and ladder truck.
A part of the task imposed upon the board of engineers, i
wit
to so organize the department and establish a system, which)
ENGI`EERs' P.EporT OF THE FII:E DEPARTMENT. 97
clue re,ard to expenditure, would secure the greatest efficiency
attainable with the fierce authorized : in order to do this, the
beard need rules and regulations adopted by the town to goy-
ern the department, defining the duties to be perfbrmed by
thein ; then, we will have a system and government that will
retr►►late all, and the rules to be of such that will hold the offi-
eers to a strict responsibility for the companies or men placed
under their immediate command : the men to be disciplined and
drilled in such a way as to secure the greatest efficiency practi-
cable. These are the simple principles which experience has
shown must ,overn all organ►zations of men whose operations
are to be directed effectively for a definite purpose ; responsi-
bility on the part of the officers, and obedience oil the part of
the men are essential. These qualities are just as important in
operations at fires as at Military affairs ; and the habit of prompt
Obedience is essential to concert of action, and must be formed
by discipline and drill ; and all who have public property ill
charge, should be held to a personal accountability for its proper
care and preservation. The board feels that every thin, to
make the fire department the sure reLance should lie dime ;
which we believe it should be within it proper There, and
p should be maintained in a condition of thorough efficiency. «'e
fare frequently reminded, by the experience of other towns, of
Ithe diasters to which we may be snl►jected by fire which cannot

Crests in the training and discipline of our firemen, the coull►lete-
F ness of the machinery at their disposal, with an abundant. sup-
ply of w.lter, and proper facilities fin. applyinrr it when required.
Too much care cannot be devoted to 1►erfccting these various
details ; their importance demands unceasing watchfulness, that
we may be found prepared for any emergency whiel► tnav arise.

08 ENGINEERS' REPORT OF THE FIRE DEI'ArMAIEN-T.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus is in good condition, and consists of one steam
engine and equipments, one four-wheel hose-carriage and appli-
ances, one hook and ladder truck f illy equipped, one fuel
wagon in good order, and four two-wheel hose-carts. These
are located at the following points, for the more immediate pro-
tection of the neighborhood, to be used in case of fire only.
One at ,Etna Mills, with 400 feet of hose, one at Hollinswortll
and Whitney's paper-mills, with 400 feet of Dose, one at N. C.
Sanger & Son's planing-mills, with 500 feet of hose, and one
at Walker, Pratt & Co.'s foundry, with 250 feet of hose.
HOSE.
There is in the engine-liouse, and other locations, 3,500 feet
of Bose ; of this, 1,550 feet is located with the two-wheel carts,
which leaves a balance in the engine-horse of 1,950 feet, of
this, 0500 feet has had severe service and is not reliable ; and as
nothing is more essential for the effective working of the depart-
ment in time of dander, than the hose through which water it
conducted to the fire, we therefore recommend the purchase of
500 feet of hose, so as to keep a compliment of a reliable qual-
ity on hand equal to the test, as we feel that the bursting of a
section of hose at the burning; of the Metallic Art Works just at
the time when a stream of water was most needed, was a very
great disadvantage to the working of the department, had not
that accident occurred, the result might have been some different.
Promptness in getting to the fire, with apparatus in the best con-
dition, may be rendered of no avail at the important momens
by the bursting of hose.
WATER FOR FIRE PURPOSES.
The increase of our town in population, and in the magnitude
of its public buildings and private residences has correspondingly
increased our liability to conflagrations. As water is the only
element used at present for the extinguishment of fire, it is wise
and prudent to provide an abundant supply for this purpose ;
ENGLNEERS7 REPORT OF THE FIRE DEP��RTMENT. 99
there are eight reservoirs from wliieli to obtain a supply of water
for fire purposes, yet there are places that are not protected with
the above element where there is muc12 valuable property ; the
buildings are of wood and closely located, and in the event of a
fire under any adversity would prove very disastrous, and the
department would be obliged to work under vey great disadvan-
ta,es, and in some places the apparatus would be of little use.
We therefore recommend for the present, and as we have
already started on a system of reservoirs, that there be one or
two constructed ANNUALLY, where, in the judgment of the consti-
tuted authorities, they are most needed, until all of the wants
are supplied for this purpose.
HORSES.
The horses now in the service of this department number
four, and are, with one exception, in good condition, and well-
1adapted to the service. Last summer one of them met with an
accident while standing in the yard at the ermine-liouse. The
injuries received by the accident unfits the horse for fire-depart-
ment use. We therefore recommend that he be exchanged or
Bold, and a suitable one for the use of the department put in his
place. We are cramped for want of room in the stable, and we
reiterate recommendation of last year's report—the enlarg
'1" ement tof the stable.
FIRE ALARMS.
The department has been called out thirteen times during the
ast year ; of this number five were fires out of town. The
'whole amount of property destroyed, as near as can be ascer-
tained,, was $71.500.io
Insurance on same . 93,543.00
Total loss $ 7,957.00
RXPENDITURES AND RECEIPTS.
The expenses of the past year have been as follows :
For salaries of the members as per, vote of the town, $5,`40.-
5 ; for horses and harnesses, $7 59.50 ; for furnishing of supplies,
r
100 ENGINEERS' REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
such as fuel, hay, train, gas, oils, etc., and extraor(linary
repairs on engine and Dose-carriage, $2,179.08. Total,
77 3.77.
The receipts of the department the bast year for the Sale of a
horse and manure, for filling cisterns, tanks, &c., amount to
$478.25, which has been paid into the town treasury.
The increased expenses of the department over former years
is attributable to the increase of salaries anal the pavilig of lia-
bilities incurred in 187 3. The gross expenditures for the past
financial year amounts to So'8,773.77, an increase of $8195..;2
over the appropriation, and the above receipts amounting to
$7,878,25, which has been transferred from the iuiexpen(lell
balances of other appropriations. Deduct from the gross account
the bills left over froin, and the liabilities incurred in, the year
1873, such as one quarter's salary due the fireman Feb. 1, 1874,
&C., paid in 1874, amounting, as estimated in 18 13, and since
ascertained to be $806.75, with the extraordinary repairs in
1874, of $604.04, will hut the financial ex''iibit of net expendi-
tures for 1874, $7,362.98, which has been paid, freeing the
department from all liabilities to Feb. 1, 1875, while the burden
of 18 44 has been largely increased by inheritance from 1873,
vet all the ordinary and extraordinary expens;s of the year
1874 have exceeded those of the year preceding, as will be
seen by a couipari-;on of' reports of the department : anl, whilst
the expenses of ever' department must necessarily lncrca e year
by year with the growth of the town, the actual wants of the
fire department become more numerous, yet it is our cluty to
check and limit iu the future all that is possible for us to clo ; at
the same; time, we believe it to be impossible to reduce materially
the ordinary Expenses of this department, by reducing the
appropriation, without actual detriment to the department and
the interest of the town ; and, as the hearts of all departments
should be held Nvithin the appropriation, compelling, them,
if more money is needed, to make out a good case to the town,
before they arc allowed to go on and incur liabilities, we believe
for this reason that an appropriation should be oracle that will
pay all the estimated expenses that are liable to arise. We
W

tlierefore do respectfully recommend an appropriation of$7,000,
defray the expenses of the department the coming Vear. TI►e
items of expenses estimated are as fblloWS, —
Salaries $4,980.00

By vote of the town the engineers were autliorized to pur-
hase a hose carriage witl► fire 1►undred feet of hose, and locate

REPORT OF THE SUPERIN TEN DEN T OF STREETS.
To the Surveyors of Highways :
GENTLEMEN, — Iii submitting my report of the labor per-
formed on the streets of the town; I respectfully call your atten-
tion to the fact, that the widening of old streets has consumed a
considerable portion of the time and expense. Besides it should
be borne in mind that items of expense, such as street signs and
fencing, which heretofore have been paid out of the Contingent
Fund, have, during the past year, been paid out of the appropria-
tion for Highways. This process, although correct in principle,
has very much curtailed the amount available for ordinary street
repairs.
A large amount of labor has been performed on Walnut
Street and Arlington Street, both of which have been, in part,
widened and straightened. Both streets have been cut down to
a considerable extent on the grade, and a large amount of earth
cut off from the sides ; and that part of Arlington Street, between
the new depot and the culvert, has been covered with crushed
stone. Some of the material taken from these streets has been
used, as fiir as it was serviceable, on portions of other streets ;
and the balance has helped to fill up and make a sidewalk on the
northerly side of Mount Auburn Street, from the land of
George A. Stearns, to that of Delano March.
Orchard, Belmont, Lexington, and Pearl Streets have been
filled on the sides, and gravelled in some places.
Spring Street has been filled and graded from the railroad
crossing to Summer Street.
Arsenal Street has been widened to sixty-six feet against the
land of Josiah Stielmey, opposite the arsenal, and a new fence
built on the whole line of said land, towards which the town
contributed the posts.
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS. 115
A new fence or railing has been built on Market Street, on
the river side, extending nearly the whole length of the marsh
land. Water Street (formerly called « Starch Factory Lane ")
has been gravelled in part.
About twelve hundred and fifty tons of crushed stone has
been put on to 1L Iount Auburn, Galen, and Main Streets.
Portiom of Main and Mount Auburn Streets, which had pre-
viously been covered with rubble, but which had become rutty,
have been picked over, as an experiment, and I think have
stood the wear well. That kind of work, however, in my judcr should be done in the spring of the year, before the streets
get dry and hard.
An amount of rubble much larger than that used last year
will be required the coming year, and stone is being gathered
for that purpose.
The engine and boiler used in running the crusher is com-
pletely worn out and useless. A new engine and boiler will
have to be purchased. The crusher is in good condition.
The horses, four in number, are as good as can be found for
the purpose for which they are required. The carts are poor,
and a new one will he needed as soon as work can be com-
menced upon the roads.
For the expense of the highways, I respectfully refer you to
the account of the Auditor.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM PERKINS, Suld. of Highirays.
REPORT OF SURVEYORS OF HIGIIWAYS.
Mx. WILLIAM PERKINTs has been continued in office as
Superintendent of Streets, and we refer the citizens to his
Report, for information as to the nature of the work performed.
We believe he has done his work faithfully, and has given good
satisfaction. Y
We shall require a new engine and boiler, to run the crusher,
which will cost in round numbers twelve Hundred and fifty dol-
lars ($1,250) for which we ask a special appropriation.
For the purpose of showing the actual area of road surface
which the town is obliged to keep in repair, as well as for the
benefit of persons who may desire to know the location and
direction of the streets, we have cause-1 to be prepared a
statement of all the accepted streets in town, which we make a
part of this Report.
As the streets become extended, and the number of dwellings
increase, there comes a commensurate demand for sidewalks.
Up to this time the expense of gravel sidewalks, street si;,ns,
and fencing has been paid out of the Appropriation for Highways.
We allude to this matter, as showing, that, by small itr-ms, the
Highway appropriation is constantly trenched upon, and diverted
from care of the road bed.
By an old and standing vote of the town, it is understood that
the town is to pay one-half of the expense of gravel walks. And
on the strength of that rote persons often go on and wake their
sidewalks, and then demand of the town one-half of their expense.
In most of these cases the town could have done the work at
less expense. We therefore ask for the passage of a vote or a
by-law by the town, which shall require that persons desirin, a
sidewalk shall notify the Overseers of Highways of the fact
before proceeding to incur expense.

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
By reference to the auditor's account, it will be seen that the
expenses of this Department Dave exceeded, by a small amount,
the appropriation and receipts. The cause of the excess is to be
found in the increased amount expended for outside aid, which
is $282.10 greater than last year. The principal item causing
the excess is the expense attending the sickness and funeral
expenses of Jade Whitney, at Medwav, in the sum of $193.43.
Our most Careful attention has been given to the nature of the
applications for outside aid, and we believe it has not, in any
case, been granted where we could, in the exercise of common
feelings of humanity, refuse. The number of single persons
and heads of families aided is thirty-nine.

The whole number of persons supported at the almshouse,

Oct. 1, 1874, for one }•eat• previous is 15.
The average number is 1197.
The cost per week, exclusive of interest on the value of the
firm, buildings, &c., is, for each pauper, $3.95.
The paupers at the almshouse are well cared for. Most of
them being above the average an of huruan life and of impaired
constitution, can entertain no hope of a better situation. But,
were it otherwise, they would have no cause of complaint as to
the provision made for them by the town.
A new barn lras been built during the past year at an expense
within the appropriation mane therefor.
There lras been no occasion for using the building erected as
a Flospital, Cor treatment of Lvinotic disease, and it has been
leased at moderate rental, for housekeeping.
Some repairs will be necessary the ensuing year, such as
shin-the house in part, repairs of outhouse ; and a shed is very
much needed for housing the wagons, carts, &e. We estimate the

amount required at $300, which sum we recommend shall be
granted and appropriated for those purposes.
Zaebariah Boody and wife have liad the charge of the alms-
house for six years, and have uniformly given good satisfaction.
Tlie law concerning settlement of paupers has been so cliangecl,
that towns and cities may reasonably calculate upon increased
expense for the support of the poor. We submit the new law.
[CHAP. 274.]
AN ACT for the more efficient Relief of the Poor.
Be it enacted, &-c., as follows :
SECT. 1. Any person of the age of twenty-one years who
resides in any place within this State for five Nears together and
pays all state, county, city or town taxes duly assessed on his
poll or estate for any three years within that time shall tliereby
gain a settlement in such place.
SECT. 2. Any woman of the age of twenty-one years who
resides in any place within this State for five years together with-
out receiving relief as a pauper shall thereby gain a settlement
in such place. The first section of the three hundred and ninety-
second chapter of the acts of eighteen hundred and seventy is
hereby repealed.
SECT 3. No existing settlement shall be changed by any
provision of this act unless the entire residence and taxation
Herein required accrues after its passage ; but anv unsettled per-
son shall be deemed to have gained a settlement upon the com-
pletion of the residence and taxation herein required, though the
whole or a part of the same accrues before the passage of this
act.
SECT. 4. The provisions of this act shall not apply to any
person who at the date of its passage is an inmate; of eitlier of
the state lunatic hospitals, the asyluin for the insane, or the state
almshouse at Tewksbury, the state workhouse, or the state pri-
mary school, until such person has been duly discharged from
said institution. Approved' May 28, 187 4.
It will be seen that the tendency of this law is to fie the set-
tlement of poor persons eventually on the towns and cities of the
f

REPORT.
Your committee have to report that, since the last town
meeting in December, 1871, they have instructed their engi-
neer, N. Henry Crafts, Esq., to proceed with the surveys as
directed by that meeting, for a complete system of sewerage,
and that he has proceeded as fast as was practicable during the
extreme cold weather of the past two months, most of his
work being done upon the district upon the south side of
Charles River, that being needed first, on account of the
application of some parties there residing for a division of
the town. These surveys have been of great utility before
the committee at the State House.
At the present time field-work on the surveys is being
pushed forward through the main part of the town, upon the
north aide of Charles River, and your committee expect that
the work will be so far completed as to enable them to sub-
mit a report with plans for sewerage at an early date this
spring.
The extreme drought of this winter has caused many to
wish earnestly for an early introduction of water throughout
the town, very many of our inhabitants being obliged to have
water hauled to their premises from the river.
In accordance with the directions given us by the town at
the December, 1871, meeting, we have made application to
the Legislature for an act to allow us to take water from
Ketidatll's Pond or Charle+ River. We have had two hearingA
before the Committee tau Water Supply and Drainage, and we
have good reason to expect that the bill substantially as,
i
132 REPORT.
printed herewith, will be reported and passed at an early day-,
and whenever it becomes a law, a. town meeting should be,
an,-1 undoubtedly will be, called. to act upon it,-4 acceptance.
The approaching season will, without doubt, be one very
fivorahle for the construction of %eater-works, on account of
the low price of all kinds of material.
The les-.on tan-lit, I)v the extreme cold weather of this x- i►,-
ter should he heeded whenever pipes are laid in our town, -o
that the depth of the trenches may be great enough to insure

OF THE
SCHOOL CO-TAZITTEE
Op
WATERTOWN, -
For 1874-75.
IVATMITOWN, Feb. is,
Iti, rLnr�l (,'ommitteP) Toted, That the Annual Report of t1w ..
School Committed, as presented Joy the chairman, be adopted.
Attest: CI I A ti. W. STONT E.
Secretary.
REPORT,
In presenting to the town the Annual Report, we do not
deem it necessary to enter into any lengthy discussion in
regard to the present school system. Indeed, any discussion
would be but a reiteration of the opinions which have been
expressed in previous reports.
We may, however, venture the assertion, notwithstanding
it may clash with the popular idea of to-day, " that very little
real advancement has been made in education in the twenty-
five years past, so far as the male sex is concerned. It is
indeed customary for school conventions, boards, and commit-
tees to look back upon that period as a sort of 11 Dark Age " in
comparison with to-day. They will talk of the old school-houses,
which were little, if any, better than barns ; where, in the win-
ter, half of the time was spent in keeping from freezing. They
will tell us that we have more schooling; that we have more
studies ; and of the new branches which have been introduced
into the popular course ; and that we have better text-book,—.
In each of these assertions there is some truth ; but it is
questionable whether we produce proportionately better re 44
-
sults. We adinit children at least two years before they
should see the inside of a school-house, and we keep them in
months each year more than they should be confined. The
stufling process is not the hest process ; it operates mentally
as over-eating,; does physically ; it nauseates, blunts, and
deadens. Childhood wants something beside the school ; it
needy fre,h air, sunlight, exercise, sports, and, at a proper age,
useful and productive labor.
The stnrlies have been increased in number, until the
children are confused. Were the winds of the scholars like
bottles, simply to be filled, and the sooner the better, this
r
4 SCHOOL REPJRT.
would be well ; but it is no such thing. We should seek to
develop the powers, and mike a basis for accumulation in
after life. It is not to grapple with the ideas of philosophers
that the pupils are in our common schools, but to grapple,
with themselves, reduce their own powers to order, and be
able to command them when required. All that the majority
of scholars learn before they are fourteen could be mastered
in a single year when the mind has become matured. It is
not the amount, we repeat, that the child learns, about which
we should trouble ourselves, but that the instruction which he
receives should make him better, stronger, more self-reliant,
and more capable of learning hereafter. It better answers
the end in view, if' the studies are few, and these thoroughly
acquired. Whatever is learned should be learned well, so
that it may never be lost ; and when a scholar leaves school
all that he has gone over should be at his command, and ready
at his call.
11 Some eulogize our present system c f popular education as
though worthy to be universally admiredand imitated ; others
pronounce it circumscribed in its action, and feeble even
where it acts. Let us waste no time in composing this strife
If good, let us improve it ; if bad, let us reform it. It is of
human institutions as of men. Not any one is so good that it
cannot be made better ; nor so bad that it cannot Become
worse. Our system of education is not to be compared with
those of other States or countries, merely to determine whether
it may be a little more or a little less perfect than they ; but
it is to be contrasted with our highest ideas of perfection
itself, and then the pain of the contrast to be assuaged by
improving it forthwith and continually. The love of excellence
looks ever upward towards a higher standard ; it is unim-
proving pride and arrogance only that are satisfied with being
superior to a lower. No community should rest contented
with being Superior to other communities, while it is inferior
to its own capabilities. And such are the beneficent ordina-
tions of Providence, that the very thought of improving is the
germination of improvement.

CONDITION OF SCHOOLS, AND CHANTGES OF TEACHERS.
In retard to the amount of work performed, and results
accomplished, we believe that the year will compare favorably
with former years. In July last, 111r. George R. Dwelley,
who for the previous three years had labored most earnestly,
and successfully in the High School, resigned his position to
enter upon other duties. During the period of his connection
with the school, :fir. Dwelley accomplished a large amount
of work, and left the school in a Highly satisfactory and
flourishing condition, creditable alike to himself and to the
town.
The vacancy tins occurring was filled by the election of
Mr. Byron Groce of Peabody, who took charge of the school
on the 1st of September last. Mr. Groce came to the
school with the most flattering testimonials as to character,
ability, and qualifications, and we trust will succeed in keep-
ing the school fully up to its previous standard.
At the Centre Grammar School, also, we were called upon
r
SCHOOL REPORT. 13
to accept the resignation of Mr. George W. Andrew, and it
is but justice to say that this school, the 111-gest and most
unwieldy of the grammar schools, had, under his charge,
reached a high state of perfection, reflecting great credit
upon himself and his assistants, and had cone to be deservedly
con-idered a model. This vacancN, was filled by the choice
of fir. John W. Ballantine, a graduate of Amherst, who,
although having had no Previous experience a a teacher, has
entered upon his duties with a determination to succeed. In
this district it was thought best to divide the intermediate
school into two separate schools, one being placed under the
charge of Miss Crafts, and the other being placed under
the charge of hiss Coolidge, who had previously served aG an
assistant in the same school; the schools have been designated
as Centre, Intermediate, Nos. I and 2. Subsequently, for the
convenience of the teachers, Hiss Coolidge wa,s transferred
from the Centre to the East District, and :Miss Da.dmun from
the East District to the Centre. bliss Tingley had already
been transfei red from the Centre to t]►e South District, and
bliss Crafts from the South to the Centre. bliss Williams
having been p •omot.ed Uoin the � , tnaZ Mills Primary School,
where she had acquitted herself' most faithfully, to the charge
of the Nest Intermediate, hiss Bessie Al. RRogers was chosen
to fill the position thus becoming varant. bliss Rogers i3 a
graduate of the Watertown High School has had soma exhc;.
rience in teaching, and is doing a faithful work in her new
position. Miss Emma McLaughlin, also a graduate of the
High School, was in September elected as an assistant to Miss
Gregory in the department of Drawing, fiir which even before
her graduation, she had exhibited marked abilities. Our
teachers, generally, have worked zealously- 'Ind faithfully, and
by their efforts have merited and should receive the con �ider-
ation and support of all.
There hag been no material change in, or expense ineurred
upon, the School buildings during the bast Vear, with the
exception of the work clone at the High Selic►►,l, necessary to
complete fully the plans of the building Committee. The
r
14 SCHOOL REPORT.
school buildings furniture, and heating apparatus are all in
good repair and condition, and amply sufficient for the present
necessities of the Town ; and we are of the opinion that there
need be no expense in either of these departments during the
coming year.
There have been employed to take care of the school
buildings three janitors.

The excess of the expenses for the past year is accounted

the ;rounds of the High School, the cost of the steam-heating
apparatus at the Centre School-house, and the purchase of
school-books, as authorized at the adjourned �liarch meeting.
These items belong more properly to the contingent account,
but as the money was disbursed by the School Committee, it
seemed proper to include them in the list of school expenses.

TRUSTEES' REPORT.
The close of another year calls upon the Trustees to add another chap-
ter to the biography of the library, and they herewith present their
seventh annual report.
The life of the library during the past year contains nothing which can
mark an era in its history. Its work has gone on quietly and uninter-
ruptedly, with the same rate of healthy, genuine groMb, with the same
satisfactory results in all that exhibits the utility and the power of the
Public Library, and obtains for it the regard, the confidence, and the sup-
port of the community. But in this there is nothing exceptional or sur-
prising. With a single word can be written the history of every Public
Library that bars been established in Massachusetts within the last twenty-
live years, and that word is success. Failure can hardly be possible.
The Public Library, existing by legislative permission, and not like the
crinimnn school, by statute requirement, is the mature and legitimate off-
spring of a public sentiment that recognizes and thus provides for certain
needs which are as important to the human mind in its attempts at pro-
gress, as are the highways to a traveller. Its security and strength ;row
directly out of the interest which all elas cs have in it. It is useful to
the unlettered and ignorant who dream of knowledge ; to the informed,
who Reek further information ; to those who cannot purchase books ; to
others who not care to have property in, or to be charged with, the cus-
tody of their.. It signifies some degree of wealth, public Spirit, generosity,
and, in a double Fen:e, education and culture. It is one of the oniaments
of eiviliLition, and, with proper management, can never ceaso to be an
in-trnment of good even to multitudes who may not realize the source of
the henefits they deilve from it.
Our lihrary is in intimater relations with a large number of the houso-
hnl,l, in town ; it is constantly open to the inspection of all who feel and
expre,y any interest in it; its contents have been well displayed in the
original catalog e, and in the succemiVC supplements which have been
4 TRUSTEES' REPORT.
issued annually as a part of the librarian's report; and that officer has care-
fully sought, both verbally, and in official documents, to give to our readers
the full benefit of his thorough knowledge of all that he here holds in
custody. The trustees, therefore, finding no occasion for any extended
report, will content themselves with alluding again to two or three old
topics.
In accordance with the intimation given a year ago, we have reached
a pjint iu the number of our volumes at which an increase of shelf-room
is an immediate necessity. To meet this want, a small appropriation of
money will be asked. Although far from being satisfied with the amount
and arrangement of the room allotted to the library, the trustees will
advise no radical or expensive ehange. They still indulge the pleasant
hope that the expiration of another two or three years will find the library
permanently established in a comely and commodious building, which
shall be conveniently and conspicuously located, and shall afford against
destruction or damage by fire, that security which is assuredly due to a
property so valuable. Respectfully insisting upon the rare opportunity
which here offers itself to any friend of Watei town, to initiate a move-
ment which shall make him a lonb remembered benefactor, shall guaran-
tee the perpetuity of our library, and render it fairly the equal of its
neighbors, the trustees will restrict themselves, in a most economical
manner, to such extensions of shelf-room, as shall be required, from time
to time, either for the increasing number of volumes, or for the preservation
of the present classification of our books.
After a thorough trial, it was found that the absolute freedom of the
reading room could not be allowed without totally defeating the objects for
which it was organized. A qualification of age has been made a condi-
tion of admission ; and now minors under sixteen are excluded. The
last report assigned some of the reasons for this change, which was
made with a very decided gain to the library. As the existence of this
department involves the sacrifice and partial waste of so much space,
that is really needed for other purposes, and as its maintenance implies a
considerable expenditure, nothing should be permitted to impair its use-
fulness for those who seek and can appreciate the full benefit of it.
As heretofore, the Library is receiving constant accessions. Books
have been selected upon the same principles, and by the same rules that
have governed the choice in previous years ; and it is hoped that the
intrinsic value of the purchases made will not be found inferior to the
high standard of excellence adopted by former Boards. During the year,
much has been done, and in some instances with no little difficulty, towards
TRUSTEES' REPORT. 5
completing the series of each of the valuable periodicals which the
Lil irary contains. This puts in our possession many early numbers,
already very scarce in the market, and gives to the later ones a more
becoming position upon our shelves. In this connection allusion may
properly be made to a most acceptable contribution which ought not to
escape notice by reason of the modesty of the donor, the Librarian, who
has given us fifteen consecutive Reports of the School Committee of
Boston, from 1857 to 1871.
We are sorry to say that no donation of money has been made to the
Library during the year. Each of the last two Deports recorded a gift
of one hundred dollars.
In their visions of a new building, the trustees include the Presence of
some specimens of the fine arts, the productions of both the pencil and
the chisel, that shall assist and re-enforce the chastening and refining influ-
ences which inevitably emanate from a Library well-organizer) and liberally
endowed. And although as yet unable to increase the attractions of the
Library by means of such accessories, they have evinced a disposition to
do so by purchasing a crayon finished photograph of the late Prof. Agassiz,
whose living words quickened the cause of education no less than they
told the progress of science, and whose name must ever be an inspiration
to all who hear and know it.
We ask a careful perusal for the annexed Report of the Librarian,
whose busy hands never tire of work done in air) of the Library, and who,
during the year, has made a large addition to our already great iudcbted-
ness to him.
To the assistants the Trustees desire to acknowledge their obligrations, .
and return their thanks for the cheerful and faithful manuer in which they
have discharged their respective duties.
The treasury is utterly but honorably empty; an annual occurrence.
But it will goon be replenished, for our endowment is the best one possi-
ble,—the deliberate and solenin premise ,
the town to male suitable
provision for our wants each year. For the eiisuin� twelve months, the
items of expenditure will be tho Librarian's salary and assistance, bind-
ing hooka, new books and periodicals, gas; and latly,s , as an extra, some
additional shelving. For these purposes the trusteed ask an appropriation
(if the sum of twenty-two hundred dollars. They also ask that the dog
tux be assi fined to the Library, as heretofore.
iti�ne I that the Library has accomplished all that was expected of it;
that it was never so full of promise for future us.flllness as now ; eon-

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN,
To the Trustees:
GF\TLE!1Eri, --In accordance with the requirement of article ninth of
the regulations of the library, I submit this, my seventh annual report.
The library is growing in means and opportunities for usefulness. By
Appendix I., you will be able to see at a glance how this year's growth
compares with the progress of each of the preceding six years. You will
see that the numbers show that steady increase, that promises some good
fruit in the faOre. Let us hope that when this institution, the sponta-
neous outgrowth of the most enlightened sentiment for the Public gix►d,
has been able to show a corresponding increase in po-itive benefit, its val-
uable collections will be more suitably housed in something like a fire-
proof structure, whose ampler shelves shall invite new gifts, and whose
greater security shall prompt many to make this the common treasury of
works of art and literature, that may stimulate the Lest thoughts and life.
The time must soon come to think of a separate suitable building. One,
in watching the growth of the library thus far, may be led to compare it
to the growth of a sturdy young tree. How important it is for the future
of the tree that it should early be properly set where its friendly shade
may be enjoyed by the young of a future generation, none know better
than the nursery-man who has dug about it and watched its rigorous
beginnings. The prosent quarters can be made to hold the natural
increase of the library for several years longer by raising the shelves and
putting steps or ladders in each alcove, or by appropriating a part of the
reading room to shelving. Thus far, however, the classification of books
in the differont alcoves that would be desired in a larger building, has
been adhered to so that re-nuwber'ing and re-catalog ing would not be
necessary if the books were to be moved into larger quarters. For, as
each alcove would be larger and not smaller, each shelf being longer,
would accommodate all now numbered, with many more, ml-ing it possible
to carry out our decimal system of numberin' as far as would be required
by the growth of this town for many scores of Sears to come ; but with
the present shelving, some alcoves are more than full. Books must be
temporarily located according to the space we have left ra,her than accord-
LIBRARIAN'J REPORT. 9
ing to their character, and this will involve in future either confusion in
arrangement or re-location, which also means, as you know, re-numbering,
and re-eataloguing, with the expense of printing and all the additional
labor. And yet while I feel that no school in town has more needed a
new building than this library now dues, and few schools are of more use
to the town, I would not advise crowding the expense of a new building
as an additional burden upon the labor and the capital of the town.
Rather should I hope that you, in your wisdom, would find the way to set
our neerL• before the minds of some of our benevolent citizens, who might
be glad to be of so great use to the town, and thus hand down their
names to the grateful memories of all future times. I know there are
people of means who have the good of their fellows very much at heart,
and who perhaps are even now casting about for a proper channel for their
charities, who, if they could be placed in our position to see the opportu-
nities for good which we here see, would not hesitate to make ample pro-
visions for a solid and lasting structure, which, when filled and properly
conducted, would become a temple of learning more enduring, more use-
ful, and more honored, than those that crowned the lovely hilLs, of classic
Greece.
Many have longed to erect some memorial of our gratitude for the
valor and blood that preserved our nation during the last civil war.
Chat more fitting form than a memorial hall, that sh111 rouse and nurture
all the hest and noblest sentiments of the living; a hall filled with t>>e
best books to lead and instruct, and perchance contaiuina works of art to
refine and inspire.
Even if all such appeals as you might make should oat pmmpt the
hearts of thine able to thus honor themselves and benefit others, I am not
certain that the enterprise and thrift of this community would find it a
great burden to make the necessary- sacrifice to erect soon a suitable build-
ing. It would he an expression of the character of the tower, which
cvonld bring its reward. Anew tirur erects a new building and fits it up
with the hest means of carrying on its business. It may run Some risk in
trusting its capital in a new direction. Iiut this is the price of future
succes.:/" Nothing venture, nothing hare." A town could run no risk
in Fatting apart a portion of its capital to an institution tlr;et promises so
much in helping to build rip all its best interests, draw to its borders cul-
tivated and wealthy people, increasing the value of its property, and thus
even, in this financial way, proving a profitable investment.
If, however, the wise and prudent are not yet ready, the time will cer-
tainly come when the way will seem clear and the means not wanting
IU -LIBRARIAN i8 REPORT.
Of the ways and means at present available for carrying out the purposes
of this institution, you are the best judges. While a suitable building
would be a great advantage, and in a short time will prove a ncce ,ify,
we know that there is something of more pressing value than buildings,
and that is the faith and hearty co-operation of all, in increasing the
effectiveness of the present means of usefulne:,9.
Appendix IL will give y)u a list of the periodicals up)n our reading-
room tables. A part of these have been put in neat and durable covers.
I would suggest that covers be provided for the rest also. The numbers
are preserved in better condition for binding. I would also advise the
binding of the remainder of our best periodicals, as those recently bound
are much sought for, and they certainly contain some of the freshest if
not best contributions to our literature.
Appendix III. gives a list of the donors, and the number of volumes,
pamphlets, and papers contributed by them. These more numbers are
not always significant. Shall I remind you, for instance, that the con-
tributions from the Smithsonian Iustitution, obtained through the kind
offices of Hon. John hI. S. Williams, member of Congress from this
district, are, from their more money value, no inconsiderable donation, —
the price of which is nearly two huudred dollars ; but from the addition
which they make to the stock of human knowle(lge are destined to be of
incalculable value to any of our students in special departments of nature,
or those enga`_Hed upon the more difficult problems of human thought or
human life. on. J. M. S. Williams has, besides these, securedf)r us
valuable public documents, the number of which you will Fee by this
appendix is not small. Valuable public documents, published by our own
State Le;i,lature, have been secured for the library by the interest and
kind offices of our past representative, Mr. S. S. Gleason.
Partly in this way, and partly by exchanges, and constantly watching
for opportunities to snake purchases, our sets of agricultural and educa-
tional reports, patent-office reports, and government reports have been
• made much more nearly complete during the past year. Complete €ets
of some periodicals have been obtained and bound, other sets begun,
which will be found noted in the supplementary catalogue of books added
the past, year which follows. This catalogue has been made somewhat
fuller than previously by cross references, hoping to make it more useful
to the increasing number of those who are trying to use the library ar a
If any one has the Jannary, February, or April numbers of "The Galaxy " for
1868, they would confer a favor by helping the library to complete its set. A good
price will be willingly paid for them.

The clean covers may do something to hasten his exaltation.
The library is indebted to Messrs. IIolUngsworth an►1 Whitney ft►r the
Strong, fine Manila paper with .vhich our books are covered.
The reading room has gzined in order and uset`alne,s ; and, judging
fr►,m the books called fur, the character of reading improves; an elevation
of taste is noticed which shows a healthy use of the library.
kThe library must furuish the means of entertainment to those who must
pleased before they can be benefited. I do not underrate tho use of
the fine novel or puem that draws one on whether he will or no to road
when he might be seeking lower means of enjoyment. Many may be
lifted on to higher planes of fooling, on which higher forms of thought
and action are possible.
The Great work of the libi-ary, besides affording practical aid in one's
chosen profes�46n or business, is of course to aflilr►1 t.ho means of self-cul-
ture. Can you not find some way to advise and instruct the many who
have not yet learned the value of the best books. Would not your body
be the prop,-r ► ue to conduct a course of public lectures which would be

for the instruction and entertainment of the people,—a course which would
bring together those who are not accustomed to act together? Could not
such a course of lectures he made to interest, and at the game time to
help many to know more about hooks.
You, in this way, might raise the tone of thought and life, by creating a
demand for the best reading which you provide. All do not yet see and
feel with Channing that " It is chiefly through books that all may enjoy
intercourse with superior minds," and that " these invaluable means of
communication are in the reach of all." He testifies that " In the best
books, great men tall: to us, give us their most preci�nis thoughts, and
pour their souls into ours." He exclaims, " God be thanked for books.
They are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the
hest life of past ages. Books are the true levellers. They give to all
who will faithfully use them the society, the spiritual presence, of the hest
and greatest of our race. No matter how poor I am ; no matter though
the prosperous of my own time will not enter my obscure dwelling ; if
the Sacred Writers will enter and take up their abode under my roof, if
Milton will cross my threshold to sing to me of Paradise, and Shakspeare
to open to me the worlds of imagination and the workings of the human
heart, and Franklin to eul ich ine with practical wisdom, I shall not pine t
for want of intellectual companionship, and L may become a cultivated 4
man though excluded from what is call,[1 the(best society in the place
where I live."
Many admit the value of good books but hesitate to throw open to all
a miscellaneous collection of books. Some say " If I could say tchat
books you are to give another, I should have more faith in your work."
The one who wrote " A nlan to make this means of culture effectual,
must select good books, such as have been written by right-minded and
strop;-minded men, real thinkers, who instead of diluting by repetition
wh-it others say, have something to say th�insclves, aa.i write to give
relief to earnest souls," also said " the best books for a man are not
always those which the wise recommend, but oftener those that meet
the peculiar wants, the natural thirst of the mind, and therefore awaken
and thoUg and 1' lit.
Gentlemen, the work in which you are engaged, in seel7ng, by the
means of this library, to advance the general good, requires no narrow
scrutiny into apparent failures to benefit in individual cases. Ignorance,
and a want of culture, may abuse for a time the treasures you intrust to
their hands; books may be worn out beure nieu are male, but knowledge
