LIBRARIANS REPORT.
interesting Sketch of the Years
Work.

Work.
The report of Edmund Mills Barton,
the librarian, was as follows:
I offer for preservation in print a brief
unpublished report of May 1885, and
doubtless the last written by Christie
pher c. Baldwin, librarian, whose death
at 50 years of age occurred on Aug. 20
of that year. 1t again suggests Mr..
Baldwin's devotion to the interests of
the society and his rare forethought of
the 18th century needs Of the students
of American history who were to sue
coed him. The following entry empha-
sizes the societys national character
SO strenuously insisted upon from it's
birth: "Sub-council records November

has also served upon our council A
years. The Office of treasurer has been
filled for &c years by Nathaniel
Paine, and 25 years ago today Samuel
A. Green, M D.. and Stephen Salisbury
Jr., were elected members of the coun-
ell. Surely, continuity of adninistra-
ton has been a strong factor in the
Ions, healthful and useful 18th century
life of this honored society
With the greater general as well as
special facilities for transportation,
the society has less to fear in October,
1899, than in October, 1849, when Mr..
Haven, in his report, said: Located in
country village of comparatively
small proportions, the institution has
not enjoyed those advantages which the
combination Of literary tastes with
wealth and leisure afford in larger
towns and cities"

from the present outlook there is moth
ing to necessitate a lengthy session.

come up for confirmation. There are
also a number of recommendations
from various committees to be acted on
Just how the full board will vote on
the recommendation of the committee
granting the Worcester Telephone
Company leave to withdraw on its pc

committee who voted against the petit
ton express conviction that their rec
concentration will be accepted.
Aldermen O'Connell and Kendall will
put up strong fight to have the report

Carberry voting with the two who
stand out against the report, a tie vote
will result.

HEAVY TAX RECEIPTS.

100000 to be collected. The amount re-
ceived yesterday was $451S 40.
The summonses sent out during the
past few days have had the effect of
causing stir among poll tax payers,
especially, and most of those who paid
yesterday were Of this class Men gem
orally realize the worth of 20 cents, and
the result is general hustle to get
their 81 to the city treasurer before the
documents are sent them.

long time, and he should from this and
such other material as he possesses,
prepare a brief chronological skeleton
of his subject for constant reference.
He can now go forward, giving an ac-
count of the development of the town
year by year; of its educational, relig-
ious, political and business affairs; and
the part it has played In the state and
nation. If a genealogy of town is
needed, let that form separate vol
ume and bear its proper title. This
outline of method for writing town
history, as I am aware, is quite in
complete. I have only intended it to
be a suggestion and if it serves this
purpose, it is sufficient.

ubliC Highways Benefit Both
People.

The following article on the highways
Of New Jersey is from the Country
Gentleman" What the writer has to
say Of the saving to farmers by having
good roads ought to stimulate the work
in this state:
In many respects New Jersey is the
leading State in the, matter OF
road improvement In proportion to
her total mileage, she probably has more
miles of stone roads than the people ef
other States. The principal difficulty OF
other States is to construct enough Of
macadam annually to meet the popular
demand "When the subject OF road inn
provement was first sgitsted the farmers,
except in two counties, opposed the pro-
ect. A State.aid law was, however car
ried, and now the farmers almost univeT-
sally approve of it and are constantly
filling petitions for the improvement Of
more miles of road. This is because
says State Commissioner Budd, they are
yearly saving in the use Of the hard
roads already built many thousands OF
dollars in the wear and tear of teams
and in the cash cost Of sending their
produce to market Here is practical
illustration.
In Gloucester county and the souther n
part OF Camden. county great quantities
OF watermelons, tomatoes, white and
sweet potatoes and many other fruits and
vegetables are raised The roads we're
formerly 80 bad that most of the stuff
was sent to market by rail or boat, and
teams could haul but forty or fifty bas-
kets of produce. Since the leading roads
have been maeadamized toward the Glou-
cester city ferry, there are, says Mr..
Budd, from 1900 to 1900 teams day
passing 10 an fro on this ferry, where
200 or 100 was the maximum before.
These teams now carry from 1870 to Ire
fVe-eights buAhel baskets Of vegetables
and fruit, while before they only carried
from forty to fifty baskets.
They are now carting to market in
stead Of sending by boat, as they mainly
formerly did, and returning with three
FIVE ton loads of manure. Their reason
for 80 doing is that thew effect very
large saving, Their experience is that
the average basket of fruit or vegetables
sent by boat to the Philadelphia mark
cts costs from six to eight cents per bas-
ket; the items of express by boat are
three cents for freight, three cents for
attendant and one or two cents for cart
ing in city-total seven or eight cents
Then, if the commission be added, it
would average three to four cents more
total, eleven to twelve cents.
BY carLing an average load of 100 bas-
kets, the farmer saves to the use of his
own team about ten dollars per day; 80
if he were to cart but five days in a week
there would be a saving of fifty dollars
per week, lees the ferry expenses of
seventy-fve cents a day.
"Another advantage consists in the
produce being landed fresh at the COM
