MARCH 16, 1914

Gentlemen of the City Council:—

According to the usual custom, we have met to-day to take our oaths of office, and I hope that every one of you will appreciate the great honor which has been bestowed upon him by the citizens of our beloved city. Gentlemen, you are no longer private citizens, but re­ member that your are servants of the people of this city, the second largest in the State, and that you are to dis­ charge your duties without fear or favor, and regardless of political affiliation. You are to choose the most efficient men to the various positions necessary to manage the affairs of the city. Of course, the usual custom is to choose men of your political belief because the platform set forth by this fusion government just elected was adopted by such a large majority of the citizens of this city that you want men that will carry out all the terms of that platform. But as soon as those positions are filled by your men, then politics cease. You are then in a position to serve the people of this city with the best of your ability, and I hope that every one of you will do his level best to ad­ minister his department as ho would his own private affairs, in an intelligent, economical way. See to it that the city receives dollar for dollar, and it is also your duty to leport to me any errors, insubordination, or mis­ management in any department. As for my part, I will say that, if mismanagement or insubordination is found out, I will divulge it publicly. Let us work with a will to pay up this large deficit which has been left over from the preceding government, and, at the same time, lower the tax rate. The previous government, according to the treasurer's report, shows that on March 1, 1914, the city was owing $7,419.74 more than on Marchl, 1913. While the 1912 ad­ ministration reduced the city debt $17,181.68. There is one point that I want to make clear to the citizens and tax payers. That although the treasurer's report shows a deficit of $7,419.74, let me state that there are bills due by the city which should have been paid long ago, but these bills hav.e been held back simply for the purpose, I suppose, of making the deficit look as small as possible. Let me state that when all those un- 4 CITY OF LEWISTON paid bills,which should have been paid by the previous administration, have been accounted for, the amount will be thousands of dollars in addition to this $7,419.74. It is my intention, after receiving those unpaid bills, to lay all the facts before the City Council; so that the citizens of this city will know the true conditions of af­ fairs. There are two ways by which this increased debt can be paid. One is by taxation, and the other is by cutting off all unecessary expenses in each and every department. And if you gentlemen of the City Council will help me and put the shoulder to the wheel of good government, I will guarantee that we will cut a large figure in this unnecessary deficit, and, at the same time, lower the tax rate if we can consistently do so.

Net debt March 1, 1914 $878,356.99 Net debt March 1, 1913 870,937.25 Increase in city debt for the year 1913 $7,419.74 From this report, I find that although the city has re­ ceived more money by way of increased taxable property such as the large factories, also a large amount of build­ ings which have been built in the upper part of the city, yet it has cost the city very little expense; because the city did not have to build or repair streets or walks in the localities where those buildings and factories were built. The facts are that the expenses have greatly ex­ ceeded the income which shows bad management some where. This would not hold good if the city had been put to some great expense for improvements or other considerations, but, as far as I am concerned, I fail to see where those great improvements have been made.

HIGHWAYS

The expenditures of the several divisions of this de partment for the past year are as follows: 6 CITY OF LEWISTON $76,469.48 was expended for 1913 as against $59,335.48 in 1912, or $16,534.00 in excess of 1912. SEWERS The Franklin Gully has been extended 740 feet. So that now the open sewer that has so long been a source of danger to this locality is very much improved. The Lafayette Street locality was also in a very bad and dangerous condition as far as health is concerned. 500 feet 36 inch pipe was laid there, thus improving that locality very much. Several catch basins and manholes have been built.

PERMANENT STREETS 11,013 sq. yards of bituminous has been laid the last year on the following streets: Miain, River, Pine, Lisbon and Sabattus. On lower Lisbon street, from south side of Maple street to Bleachery crossing, 2,909% square yards of concrete paving was laid. From the State, the city received $1,500 from the auto­ mobile fund. This was used for 2,162 feet of gravel road on Sabattus street, from East Avenue out. A special appropriation of $2,000 was made for the Lisbon Road, and this has been accomplished.

PERMANENT WALKS

7,584 feet of walk have been laid. This comprises ce­ ment, tar concrete, and brick walks, besides several thousand feet, old and new, of curbing have also been laid and reset, and several new crossings have been laid in various parts of the city.

NEW STREETS AND BRIDGES

A large amount of lumber has been used in replacing and repairing bridges. Both North and South bridges should be painted the coming season. The bridge over the Maine Central Railroad on Bridge Street will have to be rebuilt very soon. I understand that the bridge over the canal on Main street is fast giving away and it has been suggested that on account of the heavy traffic there, that a concrete bridge should be built. Of course, this would be at great expense at first, but there would be no after expenses to keep it in repair. MAYOR'S ADDRESS 7 LISBON STREET

Much has been said about Lisbon street, but little has been done towards making that street what it should be; for it badly needs repairing. The paving, such as seen on Lisbon street, puts Lewiston back of the times, and I will do all I can to put Lewiston on the map as far as Lisbon street is concerned. POLICE

Without question, this is one of the most important departments. The Police Department, of course, deals with the protection of life and property. During the past year, 1,686 arrests were made for various offenses which shows that the officers were on to their jobs, and during the same period of time $2,941.- 85 was recovered in stolen property and returned to the various owners, and the offenders punished for the same. Every citizen should be proud of this department. SCHOOLS

The progress of our schools the past year has been very satisfactory. Every citizen and every parent takes pride in the efficiency and high standing of the Lewiston schools. In every department of the schools a positive gain in membership and scholarship is in evidence. The whole number of pupils registered at the close of the Fall term of the present school year was: City schools 2,448 Rural schools 354 Total in all day schools 2,802 Evening schools show a registration as follows: Lincoln street school 240 Bates street school 142 Oxford street school 115 Total in evening schools 497

Total in day and evening schools, 3,299. For these schools Lewiston spent $70,047.57. For Manual Training School, $1,227.55. For school house repairs and insurance, $2,570.04 Lewiston school census shows 9,264 persons of school age—a gain of 469 over the preceding year. In addition to the usual English studies, manual train- 8 CITY OP LEWISTON ing, mechanical and freehand drawing and domestic science were taught in the evening schools. Many necessary repairs were made on city and rural school buildings during the summer vacation. Supported and encouraged by all the people, our schools have maintained a high educational standard during the year.

STREET LIGHTS Dur electric lighting plant is of the best. I think we can still use it to better advantage for this reas-.vs: I found that the city is paying to other companies large bills for gas and electric lights for the simple rnasou that our electric lighting plant is running only at night, and, in this way, our public building have to resort to other companies to furnish them light during the day. Upon information, I find that the electric lighting plant can be run day and night as well as not at a very sliuht increased cost, and in this way save the city hundreds of dollars every year. I also found that the four lights in each of the orna­ mental posts were 150 watts; these could easily be re­ duced to 100 watts as fast as the 150 watts would burn out. The 100 watt light would still be 40 watts stronger that in most other large cities that have ornamental lights. By doing this, it would make it possible to use 150 street lights which could be distributed in various parts of the city where they are needed, and all this without overloading our dynamo.

WATER BOARD

This is another very important department. Its man­ agement is of the best; for it is more than paying for it­ self. Our citizens should be proud of the fact that !;ew- iston is supplied with purest water. I will urge that our water system be extended as far out as possible towards South Lewiston. Several needed repairs are suggested at the pumping station, and I hope this will be done in the near future. During my visit at the pumping station, I found every­ thing neat and in good trim. It should be visited to be appreciated. The collection during the past year has been $2,581.67 in excess of any previous years, which speaks well of it­ self. MAYOR'S ADDRESS 9 FIRE DEPARTMENT

Our Fire Department is the pride of our city, an I, without question, it ranks first in the State, if not in every State. Nothing but praise is heard on all sides. According In the report of its splendid chief during the year, the de­ partment responded to 290 alarms. The total value of property involved in fires, the amount of insurance there­ on and the losses entailed for the year ending February 28. 1914, is as follows:

Total value of property $683,327,04 Total Insurance 420,861.95 Total losses 82,147.86 This is very little loss if we consider the amount of property involved. During the year, Lewiston was visited by several large and dangerous fires, but by the generalship of our chief and his loyal firemen, several disasters were averted, and this was done at a great risk of lives; for this reason, our citizens should honor our fire laddies. POOR DEPARTMENT

Another department which our citizens should feel proud of is our Poor Department. Here is where our poor unfortunates are cared for, and, as for my part, I can say that no one has suffered and no one in need has been turned away. I believe that there is no other department in our government which is so imposed upon by persons who in reality are not poor enough to depend upon this de­ partment for help. I think that if this department appro­ priation was so much overdrawn during the year it was for this reason, and believe, by proper management and investigation of every case, that several thousand dol­ lars less than the appropriation will suffice to carry on the affairs of this department.

SOMETHING ABOUT BROWN TAIL MOTHS

It has cost the City thousands of dollars every year to get rid of this pest. In looking over the work that is now going on for the purpose of cutting the nests, I found that 25 to 28 men were employed, divided into two crews, which I think is poor management. I have consulted experts, and they 10 CITY OP LEWISTON tell me that 5 men to a crew, besides one spotter, was plenty to do a good job. I will now have three crews ot six men each, making 18 men in all instead of 25 to ^o men as before, and these will be able to do more work and yet save the City about $20. a day. COMMITTEE WORK And now, Gentlemen of the City Council, ni'ter this ceremony is < ver, you arc to take your seats in each respective rooms, and, after transacting the preliminary work, various committees will be named, which is neces­ sary to simplify the work to carry on the affairs of this City. Then, Mr. committee men, I hope you will serve your City to the best advantage, and sincerely hope that good men will be employed for the various positions. And, in the purchasing of goods, do so at the lowest market price. It is also your duty to look over all the bills which you have to approve, and remember that no member of this City Government has the right to contract bills with the City. All these things are in our platform. In closing, I will say, that if Ave do this, we will have accomplished our duty towards our fellow citizens.

Respectfully yours,

ROBERT J. WISEMAN, Mayor. 11

REPORT OF POOR FARM

Lewiston, Maine, March 1st, 1914

To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Overseers of the Poor.

Gentlemen:—

I herewith respectfully submit the following report of the City Farm and Alms House for the year ending February 28, 1914: The crops have been fair this year and I have been able to turn over to the City Treasurer the sum of $1,217.51 for produce sold. "We have had about 90 to 95 tons of Hay, 75 b. of oats, 900 bushels of potatoes, 50 b. of turnips, 27 b. beets, 100 bu. of carrots, 11,050 heads of cabbage, 55 bu. green peas, 9 bushels of onions, 40 bu. of tomatoes 20 bu. pole beans, 400 heads of lettuce, 225 bunches of radishes, l1/^ ton of squash, 2 tons of pumpkin, 1100 cucumbers, 125 tons of ensilage corn, 300 doz. ears of sweet corn, 5 tons of straw, 20 barrels of apples. During the year we have bought 3 horses, we had all the buildings repaired, and a new fire escape, a new piazza, a silo and a new bath tub and all the steam pipes renewed in the cellar, we bought one set of new double harness, a new wagon, 60 mattresses, one new hayrack. The ice house has been filled with 425 cakes of ice without any expense to the city. The health of the inmates has been very good this year, there is now 78 inmates at the farm. In conclusion I wish to thank Mayor Hines and the board of aldermen, and overseers of the poor, for their kindness and advice during the year, and to Mr. W. Ward, their clerk, with whom it has been a pleasure to cooperate, to look after the poor, Dr. J. J. Pelletier, the City Physician, the City Marshal and all the other city officials with whom I have come in contact in doing my work and also Mrs Tracy the police matron.

Respectfully submitted

CYRILLE LABRANCHE,

Supt. City Farm. City of Lewiston. 14 CITY OF LEWISTON REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR Lewiston, Maine, Feb. 28, 1914. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council. Gentleman. — With the ©lose of the municipal year I present the annual report of the poor department of the City ending February 28 th 1914. Herein may be found a statement of receipts and ex­ penditures of this department. The receipts will show amount collected from other cities and towns for support furnished to individuals and families who belong to other cities and towns in this state and from the state treasur­ er for the support of State paupers and for receipts from city farm. The entire cost of the department is for this year $36,175.90. Receipts from appropriation $22,000.00 Cities and towns 843.56 Receipts from City Farm, 2,333.28 Receipts from State for State paupers 1,830.98 27,007.82

Overdrawn 9,168.08

EXPENDITURES Outside poor including board and maintainance of soldiers board of children and patients at hospital $19,203.68 City Farm 16,972.22

$36,175.90

This has been the severest of winters in recent years which caused much sickness in different parts of the City and the demand for fuel has beein greater on account of the extreme cold. The rules of the School Board that every child under 16 years of age must pass an examination before they can go to work has brought people to this department who otherwise would not have come. There are good many of these children that are unable to pass the examinations and they are sent home from their work, thus depriving the family of what little they earned. I want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Labranche for the able OVERSEERS OF POOR 15 manner which they have managed the farm. Their expe­ rience ought to be the means of their retention at the farm. I want to thank the city physician Dr. Pelletier for the efficient manner in which he has tended the sick. I want to thank Mrs. Tracy the police matron for her valuable service rendered the poor department. By her willingness and assistance she has done much for suffer­ ing humanity. She is a credit to any administration. I want to express my thanks to mayor Hines and the board of overseers of the poor for the many courtesies shown me. Also the icity sollicitor Stephen Kelly for his counsel and advice on matters of importance. I want to thank the chief of police, the deputy chief, the captain of night watch T. J. Walsh and the entire police department for their cooperation. I want to thank my predecessor Mr. P. J. Cronin for his kindness and willingness to help me perform the duties of the office. By his counsel and advice I have been able to keep the expense down to a great extent. His S years experience has made him the best posted man on the pauper laws in the State and I consider myself fortunate in having such a man as my tutor.

Respectfully submitted

WILLIAM H. WARD, clerk. 16 CITY OF LEWISTON POLICE DEPARTMENT Lewiston, Maine, March 9, 1914 To His Honor, the Mayor, and Members of the City Council: Gentlemen: — I have the honor to transmit a report of the operations of the police department of the City of Lewistojn for the year ending February 28, 1914.

NATIONALITY The persons arrested wer divided by nationality as follows: American,, 313; English, 28; Canadiatn, 637; Irish, 484; Scotch, 27; Polish, 53; Negro, 9; German, 5; Greek, 98; Hebrew, 8; Italian, 15; Swede, 3; Portugese, 1; Albanian, 4. The force, which formerly consisted of twenty-nine members, namely city marshal, deputy marshal, captain of the night watch, police matron, two inspectors, two patrol drivers and twenty-one patrolmen, was increased to thirty-two members by the addition of three patrol­ men. Three new beats have been created. That designated as the Mountain beat, which covers more territory than any other beat in New England, has been divided into East and West divisions, with two patrolmen instead of one. This has been very pleasing to the people of this section and thoroughly appreciated. Another new beat very much needed and which has given the best results, is: Park, Middle and Bates streets, from Pine to the M C. R. R. depot on Bates street, A traffic officer at the corner of Main and Lisbon streets, more desired than either of the other two additions, is the third new beat and has given entire satisfaction, even to the automobilists themselves. This beat has been filled by officer Thomas F. Nelligan with great cre­ dit to himself and the department. There may have been as efficient deputy marshals, but none more so than Lewis E. Davis. He is on the job day or night, more than willing at all times and does not work by the clock. T. J. "Walsh, captain of the night watch, rjequires no good words of mine, as fifteen years service in the department have proven to the folks he is the right man in the right place. As for the entire police force under me, I have this to say: The best small city police force in New Eng­ land at the present time. In regard to Mrs. Catherine V. Tracy, police ma­ tron, few people outside of the police anld poor de­ partments have any idea of the value of her services. We who do know simply say it would be hard to find her equal for the place. William H. Ward, clerk of the overseers of the poor, has assisted the department in many years. The Committee on Police, realizing that to obtain good work, men must be equipped with good implements POLICE DEPARTMENT 19 which they did not have, procured them. We have new revolvers and eases, handcuffs, twisters, clubs, whist­ les, flash lights and badges. A change has been made from helmets to caps at a very little extra expense. Also.new winter caps were purchased. The above articles, with the exception of caps, are good for from 12 to 15 years of service. A new horse and harness was needed and both were purchased. Necessary repairs were made on the pa­ trol wagon and pung. Automobile Warning signs have been purchased and placed in conspicuous places in all the principal streets of the city. Plain clothes men, selected from the regular officers, were successfully used, circus day, during Hanks' race meet. Moose Carnival week, Fair week, during the Lunn and Sweet strike, and Ettor's visit to our City ; also traffic officers on Main street from the C. M. C Hospital to Fair Grounds during Fair week, to regul­ ate the speed of autos. The above caused extra ex­ pense, but was highly commended by the citizens at large. Extra equipment, inecessary improvements, and ex­ tra precautions, have cost approximately $2,000. The above was actually needed and could not have been avoided. My recommendations are as follows: A new patrol system, as it costs to keep the present one in repair, one third each year of what a new system would cost, and even then it proves very unsatisfactory; an officer for the city park from May 1 to November 1 whose hours of duty would be from 7 P. M. to 3 A. M. An auto patrol is needed, also one or more motor cycle officers to prevent reckless driving on Main street. In closing, I wish to thank, for the members of the department and myself, Louis J. Brann, judge of the Municipal Court; Robert J. Curran, clerk of the Mu­ nicipal Court, and Miss Ida M. Metcalf, assistant clerk, for their many favors and kind assistance extended us. Respectfully submitted C. H. McCARRON, City Marshal. 20 REPORT OP POLICE MATRON Lewiston, Maine, February 28, 1914. To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen Gentlemen:—I hereby submit my seventh annual re­ port as police matron of the City of Lewiston, for the year ending February 28, 1914. As usual I have reported daily at the police station and attended women prisoners. I have many times been called upon by the police department to search and care for women prisoners, and on several occasions I have recovered very valu­ able property. Two girls were committed to the State School at Hallowell, after a very sad and trying ease. But a great deal of good has been done for these girls. An­ other girl found in danger of falling into vice was also sent to this school. A young girl was committed to the school for feeble minded on the advice of two physicians and the judge of probate. Four young girls were placed in the National and Naval Home at Bath. Without doubt these children would have to be supported by the city, if I had not succeeded in placing them in the home. One orphan girl was placed in a family out of town, I kept in touch with this family, as I always do in such cases and found that the girl was not treated according to agreement. I have since taken the girl and placed her in a local home under my care. Through my efforts, two very young girls were placed with the Sisters of Mercy, at High Street, Portland, and are being cared for now by them. All of these cases were disposed of with no expense to the city. In connection with my duties with the overseer of the poor, to whom I have reported daily, I have assisted him in returning people to other cities and towns where they have a pauper settlement, I have distri­ buted clothing, furniture and other necessities to many of the worthy poor of our city, and aided them in such a way that they have not become a burden to our city. I have assisted many young girls Who came to this city as strangers in obtaining employment and board­ ing places, and many others of tender age I have in­ duced to return home where they would be under the care of their parents. I have accompanied many women patients to the In­ sane Hospital at Augusta. POLICE MATRON 21

I have placed two boys at Opportunity farm, one was rejected after two months trial, as not being the kind of boy they desired to have at the farm; however, I found a good home for him in a nearby town, the other boy is being well cared for at Opportunity farm. I have written many business letters at the office and at my home which required much time and atten­ tion. These are only a few of the many demands made upon the police matron. In addition, I have made bet­ ween five or six hundred calls upon the poor and sick, During the Christmas season, people were as usual very generous with their contributions. Many never forget this department at Christmas time and to them I wish to express my most sincere thanks. A very sad and pitiable case was that of a deaf boy ten years of age, which was being neglected and on account of his ways was becoming very troublesome to the police. The matter was brought to mv attention, after consulting the proper authorities, I had him placed in the school for the deaf at Portland. I have received many letters from the Principal of the school stating that the boy is now behaving well and is very attentive in his studies. In this case alone I feel amply repaid for my time and trouble after seeing the good results. Much of the work is of a kind that it would not be proper to make public, trying and perplexing as my duties are I have endeavored at all times to perform them in such a manner that no reasonable person could complain. In closing I wish to thank city marshal, deputy marshal, overseer of the poor, and all employees of the City Building, who have always been very kind to me and assisted me whenever possible.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN (1913-1914)

To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the Lewiston Public Library. Gentlemen: Permit the librarian herewith to lay before you the annual report of the Lewiston Public Library, covering the eleventh year of its history, from March 1913, to March 1914. Since the day of its opening in February, 1903, the library has circulated 632,644 volumes. Had these been works of general literature, the Lewiston of to-day would be intellectually far in advance of the Lewiston of 1903 whether it is so or not, in view of the large fiction per­ centage, would be an interesting question for the debating classes of the city schools. The home circulation for the past year stands at 61,- 050 volumes. This marks an increase of almost 5,000 over :iO CITY OF LEWISTON that of the preceding year; but to the mind of the initiated the ground of increase is no more evident than that of the slight decrease during the twelvemonth from 1912 to 1913. The fluctuations of this item are much the same in all libraries, as may be proved by comparison of various reports. While the population of the city is also on the in­ crease, this fact will hardly account for the larger circu­ lation of books; as most of our new citizens are not habi­ tual visitors of the library, and one of our chief problems is how1 best to take the library to them. We have recently purchased a goodly number of really valuable works; and it is a pleasure to record the favorable notice which our visitors have given to these accessions. On the shelves has just been placed a set of the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, which is almost indispensable to the student of early Maine and Massachusetts history. It is to be regretted that a complete set is not available at present; and the sixty-six volumes which we now have should be supple­ mented, if in any way possible. The Proceedings of the Society should also be added to the library, making an extremely valuable addition to our historical reference books. Besides these, we have a fine set of Charles Sumner's works; four of the publications of the American Technical Society—the cyclopedias of textile work, of architecture and building, of mechanical engineering, and of commerce, accountancy, etc.; the revised edition of Grove's Diction­ ary of music, in five volumes; the new History of the United States, edited by Wiley and Rines; sets of Dickens and George Eliot; some excellent musical collections, and several rare histories, among which we may mention Belknap's New Hampshire, Holmes' Annals of America, Williamson's conclusion of the History of Belfast, Remich's History of Kennebunk, Adam's History of Bow- doinham, and last but not least, the rare History of Sa­ lem Witchcraft, by Charles W. Upham. More than two hundred French books have been added to our foreign department; and the good use which has been made of a small collection of books in modern Greek has proved the desirability of such literature for the Greek people of the city. It is to be hoped that the list of books in foreign languages may be greatly increased in the near future, as they are of the utmost service to our immigrant population, particularly in the line of sanitation, good citizenship, etc. This department is receiving special at- PUBLIC LIBRARY 31 tention in the library world, and many libraries, not so well equipped as ours are doing excellent work for the new-comers. These people are eager to learn and very ambitious, so that bringing the library to them means much. To the reference books for use in the work of classi­ fication and cataloguing has recently been added the Cat­ alogue of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburg. Its five volumes already published are full of help for the libra­ rian and are of real value in the solution of many library problems. For the student of current events, the New York Times Index is one of our most important acquisitions. Except for the Saturday Evening Book Review, the libra­ ry does not subscribe to the Times, but this publication, a quarterly, is a key to all newspapers, furnishing names, dates and incidents of all that goes on throughout the world. A few new titles have been placed on our long list of periodicals. We now have "Boys' Life", the "Journal of Educational Psychology", the "School Review" and the "Boston Pilot" "La Patrie", a daily paper in the French language, published in Canada, is also in the reading-room; and we have received many requests for newspapers in German and modern Greek. These would doubtless be great attractions to readers; and it would be good policy to have them on our files.

THE STAFF AND STAFF HISTORY Mrs. Grace Barnes, who supplied for some inine months the place left vacant by Miss Shirley White, left the library in April, 1913; and Miss Mary E. Malia was elected to the position of third assistant. At the same time Hubert Verreault was elected as janitor in the stead of A. C. Peirce, who had held the situation since the opening of the library in 1903. From July 29 to August 15 a summer library school, under the direction of Mrs. Belle Holcomb Johnson, of the Connecticut Free Public Library Commission, was held in Orono, at the University of Maine; and this, by permission of the Board, Miss Malia attended. Mrs. John­ son is an able instructor, and Miss Malia profited by the short course, which was carried on in the library of the University. The Board gave permission to the librarian also to visit the school, where she gave a talk on the "Value of local history in the public library." 32 CITY OF LEWISTON During the absence of Miss Malia, her place was supplied by Miss Ruby Parsons, of Auburn, who had been studying library methods with us. In October, Miss Grace Hines, the second assistant, obtained leave of absence for a European trip; and her duties have been carried on by Miss Mary L. Holmes, who had been with us a few days as a student. Miss Delphine Lougee is another young lady who has been studying the work of the library; and Miss Caroline Chase is now giving a half-day each week to the same pursuit. The librarian has frequently emphasized the import­ ance of having such young women in the neighborhood, trained to assist the staff in emergencies, or to take a position, in case of an unforeseen vacancy. This year the annual meeting of the aflame Library Association took place later than usual, and as the libra­ rian had recently been granted leave of absence on account of illness in her family, she did not feel that she ought to spare the time to attend. The library was, however, represented by Miss Tracy, who read an interesting pa­ per on the subjert, "The child in the library" To the librarian it seems especially desirable that the different members of the staff should make an effort to attend such meetings. Contact with other workers and the knowledge of other methods of administration bring breadth of ideas and change of view-points which we all need. Indeed, in many places, attendance is en­ forced by the Board, the librarian and as many assistants as possible being regularly sent to the meetings and re­ quired to present an outline of the proceedings upon their return. The lectures and discussions are almost always of real, practical value; and we are glad to have the inspiration of the trip.

THE CHILDREN'S ROOM

Our children's room is still the most important quar­ ter of the building, and, of necessity, the most unsatis­ factory to us all. Good work among the children demands the undivided interest of one person; and that, in the present state of things, is not possible. To place books before them and to control them in a measure is all that we can do for them now. In their wav they appreciate the books, but of course they misuse them, as children will; and in consequence our juvenile literature is often disgracefully shabby and soiled. In the interest of sanitation the books should be frequently PUBLIC LIBRARY 33 replaced. We are sadly in need of a fresh set of "Saint Nicholas", the unfailing source of delight for the little ones. READING-ROOM AND REFERENCE-ROOM

These rooms are patronized extensively and many new volumes have been added to their shelves, but we have still to complain of those who use literature but to misuse it. Even more than in the children's room have we cause for anxiety in this respect. Persistent thefts are reported: hardly a week goes by when the files of papers are complete; and the bound magazines are shamefully mutilated. We are unable to keep an assistant on duty in the room to prevent some of the misconduct, as, with our small staff, the routine work of the library calls for the attention of us all in other quarters.

NEED OP ROOM FOR STUDY

Last year the young men of the High School begged to have some room in the building fitted for them, so that there they might study, practice debating and talk over their lessons. The matter was referred to a committee and it is hoped, in view of the growing need, that some action may soon be taken. It would be a great blessing, both to the young people and to those who have charge of them. THE MUSEUM

Much interest has been shown of late in our petition for a museum. This petition bears the names of scholars, profestional men, the young and the old, the rich and the poor alike. One of its pages is dignified by the signature of the great poet, Alfred Noyes, and by that of his Am­ erican wife, who paid a brief visit to the library and be­ came interested in furthering our plan. We have already a collection of curiosities, given or lent for the proposed museum; and these should be suitably housed before they are damaged by handling. Among these is a copy of the "Lewiston Falls Jour­ nal", volume 1, number 1, of the date May 21, 1847. This is a gift to the library from Mr. R. C. Wentworth, of Portage, Wisconsin; and, as a first copy of what is now the "Lewiston Journal", is a relie w'orth careful preser­ vation. We have also a Cretan yataghan, lent by Mr. Salim Y. Alkazin, of Old Orchard. The blade is real 34 CITY OF LEWISTON Damascus steel, engraved with the name of Mohamed; the hilt is set with coral ornaments; and the sword itself is more than two hundred years of age. Mrs. Mary Haley-Bryant has lent a photograph of Lewiston fifty years ago, showing the park and the Soldiers' monument, with the old Universalist church ia the background. Miss Alice Lord contributed an antique bread-toaster and meat-roaster, used one hundred and twenty-five years ago in one of the neighboring towns; and we have va­ rious other articles which have proved of interest to the public. By permission of the archaeologist, Dr. Edgar J. Banks, a number of well-preserved tablets, taken from the ruins of Babylonia, and inscribed in the cuneiform characters, have been on exhibition for some time in the library. They have proved of special value as an adjunct to the study of ancient history in the schools. To see a veritable "little book" which the great Assurbanipal may have held in his hand makes a link between the past and present not easily forgotten by the student. The young people are hoping that the library may purchase a few of these inexpensive tablets for the mu­ seum.

LIBRARY EXTENSION

The work of library extension, so earnestly desired, has not yet been made possible. When it comes, as come it must, there will be many in our city to profit by it; and any expense brought about by its introduction will be well and wisely incurred. In concluding the work of the year, as is her wont, the librarian wishes to extend once more her sincere thanks to all who have made possible the advance of the library and its influence in the city life. It gave her great pleasure to hear the remark of one of the readers:—"Why, this library does not seem like a public building, it is a home!'' Nothing could be more grateful than such apprecia­ tion ; and, in return, the librarian can say only that she wonders daily that she receives so much help and so little hindrance in her plans for the people and their reading.

The general condition of the library affairs is in many ways better than it has been for some time. The circulation for the year has been larger by about 5,000 volumes than it ever was during any year since the open­ ing, and the additions for the year have been of a little higher grade, more of the historical and reference type, and it is the aim of the Trustees to stimulate a desire for more of this style of reading in the future. We have added quite a large number of books, and have on hand at the present time some over 300 volumes that are to be 38 CITY OP LEWISTON catalogued just as soon as it can be conveniently done, and they will be placed upon the shelves when the work is completed. Of course, the larger demand for books comes in the line of fiction, and that is true of all libraries as far as we are able to secure statistics, but we are not without a feeling that there has been a marked improve­ ment in the character of reading during the past few years. It is necessary for us to make some needed repairs in some of the reading rooms, as some of the ceilings and walls are in a damaged condition by reason of leaks that were found some time ago. These leaks have been stopped and the time has come for us to do some painting and general repairing, which will not, however, be very ex­ pensive. Miss Gilmore and her able assistants have en­ deavored to accommodate the reading public in every possible way, and we have every reason to believe their efforts have been appreciated. We once again solicit any and all information per­ taining to the selecting of good reading matter that the patrons may find it convenient to give us. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM D.

REPORT OF SUPT. OF WATER WORKS

To the Honorable Board of Water Commissioners for the City of Lewiston: Gentlemen:— I have the honor to present the thirty-fourth annual report of the Superintendent, showing the general con­ dition of the works for the fiscal year ending February 28, 1914. CONSTRUCTION Five extensions of the mains were made during the year, 2527 feet, two thousand five hundred and twenty- seven feet, of 6 in. on Holland St. from the end of the old pipe at F. A. Stevens' house through to Winter Street. 364. three hundred and sixty-four feet on Spring Street, between Whipple and Riverside Sts. 6 in. On River St., 221 feet, two hundred and twenty-one feet of 6 in. from the end of old pipe to the end of street. On Parker St., from East Ave., to connect with Sylvan Ave., 674 feet, six hundred and seventy-four feet of 4 in. On King Ave., 900 feet, Nine hundred feet of 2 in., making thre thous­ and six hundred and eighty-six feet (3686) of extensions of mains. Six inch fire service at Harper & Googin's Coal Yard Whipple St., 252 feet, two hundred and fifty-two feet. Total number of feet of cast iron pipe laid for exten­ sions and relays 6,167 feet, six thousand one hundred and sixty-seven feet. Cross connections made under permanent streets for future use. ON PINE STREET

Pine and Bradley,2 14x6 Smith Sleeve & Gate 24 ft. of 6" Pine & Howard 1 14x6 Smith Sleeve & Gate 36 ft. of 6" Pine & Jefferson 1 14x6 Smith Sleeve & Gate 24 ft. of 6" Pine & Beech 1 14x6 Smith Sleeve & Gate 24 ft. of 6"

RELAYS Relaying of Main pipe: Have taken up the old V/2" pipe on Lafayette St., and put in 682 ft. six hundred and eighty-two feet of 6". On Spring St., between Holland and Whipple, six hundred and fifteen feet of 6". (615). On Middle, from Main to Lowell one 24 "x8 Smith Sleeve & Gate 56 ft. of 8" four hundred and twenty ft. (420) of 10" 40 CITY OF LEWISTON NEW SERVICES AND RELAYS There have been two hundred and twenty relays this year, one hundred and twenty-six under permanent streets, seventy-four on Lisbon Street, twenty-four on Main Street, fifteen on Pine Street, seven on River, and one hundred in different parts of the city. Sixty-one new services for new buildings, twelve new services for old buildings, moved to new lots, thirty-four for vacant lots, making a total of one hundred and seven new taps. Have used for new services and relays, 10,417 feet of 1" lead pipe, ten thousand four hundred and seventeen feet. 322 feet of 2", three hundred and twenty-two feet of lead line 2", twenty-six hundred and sixty-two feet of 1" galv. pipe, sixty feet of 4" cast iron, making a total of thirteen thousand four hundred and fifty-eight feet of service pipe laid this year. The increase of the running expense this year over last, of two thousand forty-five dollars and thirty-one cents, is accounted for by the putting in of pipes under permanent streets and the laying of services to vacant lots. With the relays and gating of hydrants on Lisbon and Mjain Sts., the cross connections on Pine St., and the 2" services on Lower Lisbon St., all under permanent streets at a cost of four thousand and nine dollars, new gates and racks at the pumping station, and the cost of three hundred and sixty-five dollars, a new iron roof on the Electric Light Station at the cost of five hundred and forty-seven dollars. The repairs of the Dean pump eight hundred and sixty-seven dollars and ninety-one cents, the breaking in of the racks caused by the sudden rise of the river, and the cost of a Diver from Portland to repair same was two hundred and forty dollars, which makes a total extra expense to this department of five thousand nine hundred and eighty-two dollars and thirty- eight cents. This with the purchasing of all stock and material used by the department, the monthly pay roll, salary of Superintendent, Clerk, Inspector and engineers at the Pumping Station makes the running expense ac­ count of twenty-five thousand, nine hundred and seventy- two dollars and seventy-five cents. As you will see by the report of the Clerk.

WHEELS

The regular inspection and repairs were given to the water wheels in the fall, they will have to have -some slight repairs this spring or during the season. WATER WORKS 41 PUMPS The repairs on the Dean pump were made last spring and it is in good condition, with the exception of the valves on the suction end which ought to be done as soon as convenient. The valves in the Worthington Pump have all been changed and the gears have had new cogs as needed. PIPE LINE The main pipe has been extended this year on Hol­ land St.. from the end of the old pipe to Winter Street two thousand five hundred and twenty-seven feet of 6". On Spring St., between Whipple and Riverside Sts., three hundred and sixty-four feet of 6" On River St. two hun­ dred and twenty-one feet of 6 " On Parker St., from East Ave. to Sylvan Ave., six hundred and seventy-four feet of -4". On King Ave., nine hundred feet from end of old pipe to the last house on the left of 2" Have caulked ten lead joints in main pipe, put in a twenty-four inch stem in twenty-four inch valve at Pumping Station, and blow off valve at Cross Canal on Lincoln St. The ex­ tension of the main pipe this year is three thousand seven hundred and ninety-four feet. Total number of miles of main pipe, forty-seven.

RESERVOIRS .The granite blocks at the intake at the Reservoir have been repaired, where the ice had thrown out of place the slides that hold the screens in place and the screen frames will have to he made new this year, as they have rotted out. There has not been anything done on the Rip-rapping for a number of years and it ought to be repaired this vear. METERS There are two hundred and sixty-six meters, ten have been added this year, forty-one changed and three removed. EXTENSIONS IN LOCATIONS On Holland St. from end of old pipe to Winter St. 2527 ft. of 6" On Spring St. between Whipple and Riverside 364 ft. of 6" On River St. from end of old pipe to end of Street 221 ft. of 6" 42 CITY OF LEWISTON Parker Ave. from East Ave. to Sylvan Ave. 674 ft. of 4" King Ave. from end of old pipe to last house on left 900 ft. of 2" Pine and Bradlev 48 ft. of 6" Pine and Howard 24 ft. of 6 '^ Pine and Jefferson 24 ft. of 6" Pine and Beacon 24 ft. of 6" Main and Middle 56 ft. of 8" LOCATION OF RELAYS On Spring, between Holland and Whipple 615 ft. of 6" On Lafayette from Webster 682 ft. of 6" Middle and Main Sts. to Lowell 420 ft. of 10" LOCATION OF HYDRANTS On Middle St., between Main and Lowell On Holland St., at the old Works On Holland St., cor. of Spring Spring St., between Holland and Whipple Spring St., between Whipple and Riverside Lafayette St. On Sylvan Ave., cor. of Webster On Sylvan Ave., cor. of Sabattus In Harper and Googin's coal yard on Whipple St. RECOMMENDATIONS There are some sections that I should recommend changing of small pipe to a larger size. On Ireland Ave., from the Dickey's shop about three hundred feet 8" to Main St., with a four-way hydrant on Main St. Across Main St., with a 6", down Main St. to connect with the 6'' pipe that comes up from Mill St. to the hydrant. This will serve two purposes, first it will provide better fire protection, for the buildings along the left side of Main Street, and give them better domestic service. Second, it will provide in case the water has to be shut off on Mill St., it will give the Bates Mill a domestic supply through the meter from both upper and lower levels. There is about thirty-six hundred feet of 4" and 2" pipe on Upper Main St., at Barkerville, that is in bad shape, and ought to be relaid. The lower end of Park St., about four hundred feet, aad the lower end of Knox St., about the same. With thanks to the President and Clerk of the Water Board and to the members, this report is respectfully submitted. J. B. LONGLEY, Supt.

WATER WORKS INSPECTOR'S REPORT

To the Honorable Board of Water Commissioners: Gentlemen:—I have the honor to present to your honorable Board the fourth annual report of the Water Works Inspector for the fiscal vear ending February 28, 1914. During the past year I have inspected 774 houses and found 430 defective water fixtures leaking and re­ ported the same to the Clerk. Have assisted in reading 1.561 meters. Repaired 92; sealed 255; removed 40; installed 62. I have inspected the Public School Buildings, city stables and Fire Stations and found many leaks and an unnecessary waste of water. I have completed an ins­ pection of all mill corporation boarding houses and blocks and found the water fixtures in very good condition. The occupants of many stores and offices let the water run during the night to prevent freezing, which results in an extraordinary waste of water. I have visited all tenements once a month that have been reported vacant and have made special inspections when requested by the Clerk. I have made 1S5 special inspections of meters when the Clerk considered the consumption registered excessive or unreasonably low. I take this opportunity of extending my sincere thanks to your honorable Board, also Superintendent and Clerk, or theii uniform kindness and valuable assistance given me in the discharge of my duties. Respectfully submitted,

MICHAEL F. DACEY, Inspector.

To the Honorable Board of Public Works: Gentlemen:—I herewith most respectfully submit for your consideration my annual report as Superintendent of the department of Public Works for the vear ending February 2Sth, 1914. The expenditures of the several divisions of the department for the past year are as follows: Highways $14,2!).") 93 Sewers, Lafavette St. and Gully 10,291 IS Permanent Walks 3,050 5.3 Permanent Streets 15.954 04 Including State Road Xew Streets and Bridges 2,877 80 The following are the amounts thought necessary for carrying en the work of the department for the coming vear: Highways $45,000 00 Sewers 5,000 00 Permanent Walks 10.000 00 Permanent Streets and Paving 10,000 00 Xew Streets and Bridges 5,000 00 $75,000 00 SEWERS A large amount of work has been done in this divi­ sion of the department the past year. The Franklin Gullv sewer has been extended 740 feet this season and connected with the Walnut Street sewer so that now the oj en sewer that has so long been source of 'hmger to this locality is very rr.uch imnrnved as it is inclosed with a 40 inch brick sewer from Walnut St. to the foot of Bartlett St. and the work should be continued the coining vear. The sewerage conditions near Lafayette St. were very bad and it was thought advisable to extend the Lafayette St. sewer and 500 feet of 36 inch pipe was laid there. 700 feet rf 10 inch pipe was laid on East Ave. north of Sabattus St. 300 feet of 10 inch sewer pipe was laid on Riverside Place. 170 feet of 10 inch sewer pipe was laid on Nichols St. In connection with the above sewer work the follow­ ing catch basins and manholes have been built. 2 catch basins on East Ave. 2 on Pine St.. 1 on Riverside 76 CITY OF LEWISTON Place 2 on .Main St. 1 on Sabattus St. 1 on Holland St. 1 mi Lisbon St. Alley. 1 manhole in the Franklin Gully and 1 on Lafayette St. All of the catch basins have been cleaned out once and about half of them twice. Several of them have been rebuilt and new grates put on. PERMANENT STREETS 11013 sq. yds. of bituminous macadam has been laid the past year on the following streets. '3,500 sq. yds. on Main St. (State Road) 530 sq. vds. on River St. 3,146 sq. vds. on Pine St. 2,302 sq. yds. on Lisbon St. 1,534 sq. yds. on Sabattus St. 2909'Yi sq. >(ls. of tar concrete paving has been laid on lower Lisbon St. from the south side of Maple St. to the Bleachery crossing. In connection with the road work there was obtained from the State the sum of fifteen hundred dollars, $1,500, from the Automobile fund and with this amount there was constructed 21(i2 feet of gravel road on Sabattus St. fmm East Ave. out. A special appropriation of ($2,000) two thousand dollars was made for the Lisbon Road and that amount was expended on that road. PERMANENT WALKS 1275 feet of cement walk has been laid at an average width of 8 feet. 6003 feet of tar concrete walk has been laid nearly half with gutters of the same material. 216 feet of new brick walk has been laid and a large amount of old walk relaid. 1 1 1156 /i> feet of new curbing has been set and 4275 /2 of old curbing reset. CROSSINGS The following crossings have been laid in various parts of the City. 2 tar concrete crossings on Nichols St. 3 on "Webster St. 1 on Walnut St. 1 on Main St. 2 on West Rose Hill. 1 stone crossing on Pine St. NEW STREETS AND BRIDGES A large amount of work has been done during the past year in this division of the department. is,200 feet of lumber has been used in replanking and repairing bridges, 11.558 feet which has been used in boxes and driveways. PUBLIC WORKS 77 Both North and South Bridges should be painted the coming season. The bridge over the M. 0. R. R. on Bridge St. should be rebuilt very soon. The canal bridge on Main St. should receive attention at once as the travel in this locality is very heavy and this bridge is not in first class condition and I would recommend that it be replaced with a concrete structure. While the cost may be large at the time it woud be cheaper in the end. And in fact, I would recommend that as fast as we have to rebuild any of the canal bridges to replace them with concrete. HIGHWAYS A hirp'e quantity of gravel and ashes has been haulel and dep.isitei in various parts of the Citv fcr use on the highwavs the coming season. Of the above amount of gravel HDD yds. are deposited on Ash St. 300 yd-;, near the Androscoggin Mills, loO yds. on the College Road and about cans of snow flake grease, IV2 doz.

And in closing 1 wish to extend thanks to the mem­ bers of the Board of Public Works for advice and assist­ ance cheerfully given at all times, and to the employees of the department I also extend thanks. JOHN J. RYAN, Supt. 79 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF FIRE AND POLICE ALARMS To the Honorable Board of Fire and Police Commissioners of the City of Lewiston. Gentlemen :I have the honor of submitting herewith my third annual report for the year ending February 2Sth, 1914. The system has worked very satisfactorily. What few breaks we have had in the system have been found very promptly. The repeater switch and protector boards have worked in a very satisfactory manner. For permanent improvements during the year there has been three miles of old wire taken from the circuit and new put in its place. There has been one new box installed: number 112 at St. Marie General Hospital. This box was placed where it was very much needed. I would recommend for permanent improvements Cole key guards put on all street boxes. While this would not be very expensive, it would add much to the reliabi­ lity of the boxes. As we all know so well that very much depends on the department getting the alarm in the quickest time after a fire starts, in order to save life and property, I shall, as usual, recommend a number of street signal boxes to be placed in the following locations: One on Upper Main Street near Fair Grounds: one at corner of Main and Ware Streets, near Home for Aged Women; one near the Wallace School Building on Main Street; one on the corner of Lisbon and Chestnut Streets; one on Lisbon 'Street, near Music Hall, and a small in­ terior box in City Hall and in the Empire Theatre. I do not expect them all this year, but it is good insurance and worthy of consideration. I would also recommend a tower striker to be placed oil the Frye Grammar School Building. Before closing this report, I wish to call attention to the frequent breaking of glass in fire-boxes, the taking of keys and opening of box doors, leaving them inoper­ ative under certain conditions.: There is a heavy penalty attached to this act, but until a reward is offered for convictions, I do not think many will be made. I would recommend a new police system, as the one we now have is in very poor condition and needs a gen­ eral remodelling. A part of it is very old style and badly worn. It has seen hard service and had no remodelling. 80 CITY OF LEWISTON The following is a list of apparatus under my charge: In Lewiston:—One ten-circuit repeater, with the switchboard and protector board, belonging to it; fifty- three signal boxes; two engine house gongs; two erfgine house indicators; one engine house gong and indicator combined; three door openers; two emergency electric light switches; one small switchboard, with switches com­ plete; 312 cells of storage battery; one tower striker; one 2000-lb. bell; 15 mechanical gongs; one compressed air whistle plant; three sets of private telephone instru­ ments ; and about 38 miles of line wire.
