MAYOR'S ADDRESS.
Gentlemen
of the City Council :
Once a g a i n we assemble in accordance with a long and
honored custom for the b e g i n n i n g of a new y e a r ' s administration of the city's affairs,
perform
the
duties
h a v i n g t a k e n oath to
and obligations
faithfully
appertaining
to the
various offices to which we have been elected by our fellow
citizens.
It is pleasant to greet so many of last year's city government and to e x t e n d a welcome to the new members.
The
retiring members have rendered most excellent service to the
city, and the city expects a similar service from those who
succeed t h e m in office.
W e have been elected this year by a majority
that
should show us that the people had confidence in our administration
the last year, and let us try in eVery way to
merit a c o n t i n u a n c e of the same feeling this year.
W h a t every citizen has a right to demand is an economical a d m i n i s t r a t i o n , and they should have it.
When I was
elected last year and assumed the duties of the office, I found
6
MAYOR'S
ADDRESS
upon looking over the city's finances, many obligations left
over from the preceding city council t h a t h a d to be met, and
my desire was to carry them t h r o u g h to completion, and in a
way that would m a k e it as easy as possible for the t a x p a y e r s .
W h i l e we have used strict economy in all the departments,
we have not been able to meet all the d e m a n d s made upon
us on account of these old obligations.
W e h a v e met some
of these as they came along, but we have more to meet.
have $80,000.00 in treasury
addition to
building
notes left by them,
that, $40,000.00 indebtedness
We
and in
created by the
of the sedimentation basin which the last
city
government provided should be t a k e n care of by water bonds,
but owing to the great financial troubles all over the country
we deemed it advisable at that time to give the city's note for
one year at five per cent, and when the money m a r k e t was
easier, to issue the water bonds.
Should we be obliged to
raise more money this year in order to meet the remainder of
our obligations, this, or last y e a r ' s city government, should
certainly not be blamed for it.
In the levy of t a x e s , w h e n it
becomes necessary to increase the amount to be raised,
I
would prefer to have the rate increased rather t h a n
the
valuation, for I am not a believer in h i g h valuations
and
never was.
T h a t is a matter, however, in the h a n d s of the
assessors, and beyond our control, and in the exercise of
their official duties they will be undoubtedly g u i d e d by their
best business j u d g m e n t .
I^et us
review
together what we have
accomplished
d u r i n g the last municipal year in the p a y m e n t of indebtedness
contracted previous to our administration.

In addition to the above amounts there remain the
following old obligations to be provided for and paid by the
present administration, viz : —
Furnishing the new school house on Larkin street.
Construction of the Franklin street widening, together
with a debt of S80,000.00 left b}- the city council of 1906 in
outstanding treasury notes.
We must also provide money for paying for the Library
lot and the expenses connected therewith.
I would advise that provision be made for the payment
of these last items, by an issue of city bonds.
In selecting subordinate officers, remember you are not
here to reward or to punish anyone, but that we were elected
8
MAYOR'S ADDRESS
by the people and should select the best men available, for
upon them we depend in a great measure for the success of
our administration.
After the committees are appointed to have charge of the
different departments, they, wholly, are responsible for their
administration both financially and otherwise, and I certainly
shall expect them to keep within the appropriations, whatever they may be.
When the committee on salaries make their report and it
is accepted, I want it to be final for twelve months, without
any changes or additions, and I want it so understood by
every subordinate officer, no matter how small his position
may be. This is a year when the business outlook is not so
promising as some have been in the past, and I would advise
strict economy in every department.
In conclusion I want to call your attention to the reports
of the different departments, and will ask you to study them
well.
It appears from them, that all or nearly all are in
excellent condition, and I cannot see why they should not be
run this year on a very economical basis, and surely they
should be.
JOHN F. WOODMAN,
Mayor of Bangor.

RKPORT OF T H E WATKR HOARD
REPORT OF
[1908
THE
Bangor Water Board
To the City Council oj Bungor : —
The thirty-third annual report of the Bangor Water
Board, covering the year ending F e b r u a r y 29, 190N, is hereby
submitted, together with the reports of the Collector, Superintendant, Chief Engineer at trie pupming station, and Chemist,
these various reports offering in detail m a n y important facts
concerning the d e p a r t m e n t s to which they refer.
COLLECTOR'S DEPARTMENT.
Because of additional fixtures p u t in during the past
fiscal year, an increase of revenue amounting to $2,632.50 is
shown on the collector's books, the total revenue for the year
being ^77,665.96. For the eleventh consecutive year all
charges have been collected, a record of which the collector
might well be proud and which is of course gratifying to us.
Another evidence of the efficiency of the d e p a r t m e n t lies in
the fact t h a t in the past three years only one service has been
shut off because of non-payment of rates.
The inspector has labored carefully and faithfully during
the past year, 6,214 returns having been made by him, or 2-W
more than the total of the year before. This showing is most
creditable, and the work of the inspection d e p a r t m e n t deserves
fullest commendation. A n u m b e r of fixtures not previously
reported were found, thus assisting r.iateriallv in establishing
1908]
CITY OF BANGOR
85
the proper revenue from all water takers, and a t the same
time demonstrating the importance and practical good of|an
inspection service.
In keeping with modern office needs, it was found advisable
for the good of the service to install a card index system and
addressograph equipment, in the collector's office, and on Jan. 1,
the new system was put into use. It has alreadv proved itself
to be a great saver of time and labor, and simplifies and systematizes the work of the office to a surprising extent. While
referring to the large and constant increase of work in this
office, it m a y be stated t h a t larger quarters will be needed for
the collector's use in the near future, and we would advise that
the m a t t e r be given early attention.
S U P E R I N T E N D E N T ' S DEPARTMENT.
As will be seen by the Superintendent's report, the street
mains have been extended 5,440 feet during the past year, making the total length of main pipe over 4SA miles. Ninetyfive new service pipes were added during the season, making a
total of 4,641 now connected with the system. Two hundred
and two old services were renewed. Other work on pipes consisted only of minor repairs and alterations.
Fifteen new fire hydrants have been installed in advantageous locations while, during the year all the old ones were
re-packed and painted.
The d a m has needed few repairs this year, nor did it seem
wise to make any extensive repairs on the fishway, since, according to an agreement between the Fish Commissioners and
the W a t e r Board, a new one is to be built as early as possible
in lDOS.
CHIEF ENGINEER'S DEPARTMENT.
A daily average of .'-i,o0s,540 gallons of water was pumped
at the works during the past fiscal year, according to the Chief
86
REPORT OF THE WATER BOARD
[1908
Engineer's report, or 145,366 gallons per day more than last
year. This service has been given with no serious accident at
the pumping station, repairs having been necessary only because of natural wear on the machinery.
REPORT OF CHEMIST.
In the report of laboratory work done in the chemists'
department, it will be seen that regular analyses were made,
one or more daily, on both river and filtered water, 725 samples
in all having been examined chemically and 75S bacteriologically. These analyses have indicated no appreciable pollution of
the river water, the total bacteria being normally very low.
No coli have been found in the river water since Oct. 11. Interesting tables showing averages of chemical and bacteriological
tests are appended to the chemist's report, with results of
mineral analyses.
FILTER PLANT ; SEDIMENTATION BASIN.
After careful consideration by the Water Board they are
of the unanimous opinion that the filter plant should be put in
a condition to give the citizens of our city the best results obtainable. In order to accomplish this it was imperative that
work be started immediately—the board already having employed the services of the eminent sanitary engineers, Messrs.
Herring & Fuller, of New York City.
Early in August bids and contracts were advertised for
to do the work. September 4th, the contract for building the
sedimentation basin and head house was awarded to Charles N.
Taylor of Wellsley, Mass., and ground broken Sept. 9th.
From that time until now the work has been pushed
vigorously. During the month of April, the sedimentation
basin and head house will be completed when water will be distributed to the entire city and we confidently believe our water
will be materially improved to attain the high degree of efficiency and purity as provided for by the plans of the engineers.
1908]
CITY OF
BANGOR
87
The city should in the near future or as soon as its financial condition will warrant put in a set of filters modem in
construction and appliances and when completed our city will
have water from the Penobscot river that will compare favorably with any city in New England.
On June 10th of last year we installed a chemical laboratory at the plant and placed in charge Mr. Leland Whipple, a
graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who
has done satisfactory work. A copy of his reports will be found
on file at the water board office for the inspection of any of
our citizens who desire to know the actual condition of the
water as he finds it from day to day.
In conclusion we may say the Water Board is aware that
criticism more or less adverse to the present plan of improving
the water system prevails. The Water Board have confidence
in the ability and integrity of Messrs. Herring & Fuller and believe that when their plan as adopted by the Water Board shall
be consummated our city will enjoy pure water free from all
diseased germs, and in fairness ask that judgment be suspended
until our work shall be finished.
IN CONCLUSION.
We wish again to call attention to the need of some satisfactory meter service if the present great waste of water is
to be checked in any appreciable degree. We would also lay
particular stress on the city ordinance which provides that any
unexpended balance of the year "shall be annually set apart by
the City Treasurer to pay the interest on the Bangor water loan
bonds, the expense of carrying on or running said works and
repairing same, and for the creation of a surplus fund to pay
and extinguish said bonds at maturity." Although this ordinance has been disregarded in past years its intentions and
benefits are so clearly evident that the practice ought not to be

REPORT OF T H E WATER BOARD
[1908
Two breaks have occurred in the force-mains during the
past year, one being in the 16 in. main, Hammond Street near
Kenduskeag Bridge, and the other in the 20 in. main, Garland
near Maple Street. Both were caused by defective pipe.
I would respectfully recommend that a twelve inch main
be laid in French Street, connecting with the twenty inch
force-main at Cumberland Street, and running northerly to
the junction of Broadway and Center Street. This would serve
as a "feeder" north of Garland, and would greatly improve
the fire service in that locality. I think this work should be
done the coming season, or as much of it as is deemed advisable.
Also that a six inch main be laid in Market Street from
Cumberland to Willow, and a hydrant be set at the junction of
Market and Curve Streets ; and Curve Street line be continued
to Harlow to discontinue the dead end. The work was authorized to be done last year but owing to the delay in receiving
our pipe, it was thought best to defer it to the next year.
More than the usual amount of flushing the mains has
been done, made necessary by the condition of the water. I
have considered it advisable to continue this work throughout
the winter, and the results obtained have proven satisfactory
Four hundred ft. of 20 pipe has been laid which connected
the centrifugal pumps in the filter house with the head house
and which serves as an effluent and influent for the sedimentation basin.

LEAKS.
Twenty-three leaks have occurred during the year, and
were repaired as soon as discovered. Three were in hydrant
joints, eight in mains, and twelve in service pipes.
SERVICE PIPES.
Ninety-five new service pipes have been added during the
season, making a total of 4,641 now connected with the system.
Two hundred and two old services have been renewed and many
of these changes were made necessary by the hydrate which
still continues to fill the pipes. The sedimentation basin will
no doubt make a great improvement in this direction.
STREET WATERING STAND PIPES .
One street-watering standpipe has been added during the
past year, and at the present time there are twenty-six in use.
STAND PIPE.
The standpipe and superstructure have been painted
throughout and are now in excellent condition.
BUILDINGS.
The department buildings are in very good condition and
have required only a small expenditure. The roof of the old
wheel house should be repaired, and the trimmings of the boiler
house painted the coming year.
DAM AND FISHWAY.
Few repairs have been made on the dam the past year. It
seemed not advisable to make any extensive repairs on the
fishway as according to the agreement between the Fish Commissioners and the Water Board, a new one will be built to
replace the old, as early in the season as possible.
In closing I desire to tender mv thanks to the Mayor, and
the gentlemen of the Water Board, for the kind assistance
rendered me the past year.

REPORT OF T H E
Chief Engineer of Water Works
Bangor, March 1, 1908.
To the Bangor Water Board :
Gentlemen : — I respectfully submit the annual report of
the Engineer for the past municipal year.
The machinery has run without serious accident although
the duty required of it has been greater than the average year;
and the repairs which have been made were necessary to compensate for the actual wear and tear of the different parts.
The filter beds of sand were removed twice during the
past year, in March and November, and the bottoms of the
tanks thoroughly cleansed. In addition to this, the clean water
well under the copper strainers was washed every six or seven
weeks, whenever it was necessary.
Anchor ice caused us a great deal of trouble for about a
week in the fall. The jam of ice formed in the river at that
time below the Veazie dam has kept the river in an unsettled
state. One week the water would be clean and the next, full
of sediment. This condition is unusual, as generally in the
winter the water is quite free from floating matter.
The Sturdivant blower and engine installed by the Electric and Water Department for a forced draft under the boilers
is highly satisfactory. While it has not been tried with all the
boilers steaming at the same time, still, running at less than
one-third its rated speed, it has furnished a fine draft for one
of the water tube boilers.
The smoke flue connected with the Babcock and Wilcox
boiler is located in an exposed place between the fire room
1908]
107
CITY OF BANGOR
and Pumping Station. I would respectfully recommend
erecting a covering as protection against the snow and ice.
It was necessary to use the steam pump 87 hours during
the past 12 months. The greater part of this time was in July
The water had to be drawn from the flume to enable the Electric Department to repair their water wheels. This of course,
shut down the power pumps.
The work of changing the piping in the filter room which
connected the centrifugal pumps with the head tank to force
the water to the sedimentation basin and back to the head
house is finished. It has been rather a difficult job, as the city
supply of filtered water had to be maintained during all the time
The Gaskell has pumped 59,211,915 gallons the past year,
having been run in connection with the Deane to supply the
city when the consumption was heaviest.
The quantity of water pumped the past year has been as

REPORT OF THE
Chemist and Bacteriologist
To the Water Board:
Gentlemen: At your request I have the honor to submit
the following report of laboratory work done during the year
ending March 1, 1908.
The work was started August 1, 1907, under the direction
of Mr. Freeland Howe.
Regular analyses have been made
on corresponding samples, one or more daily, of both river
and filtered water. In all, 752 samples have been examined
chemically, and 758 bacteriologically, including some samples
taken in connection with special studies. From time to
time mineral analyses have been made on the river and filtered
water.
The methods of analysis used are those recommended
by the American Public Health Association, and adopted
as the standard methods by the great majority of water laboratories in this country
Oxygen consumed is determined by the "five minute
boiling" method.
Incrusting constituents are taken as the difference between
the total hardness and the alkalinity.
All chemical results are expressed in milligrams per liter,
representing parts per 1,000,000.
In stating results, the modern "ionic" system has been
adopted, That is, substances are expressed in the form in
which they exist in solution. For instance, "hydrocarbanion"
is calulated as the amount of bicarbonate radical present,
1908]
CITY OF BANGOR
109
instead of "carbon dioxide as bicarbonates," as was customary in older reports,.
Bacteriological counts are made on nutrient galatine
plates, incubated 48 hours at 20° centigrade (room temperature.)
Bacillus Coli are determined by plating on litmus lactose
agar, incubating 24 hours at 37° centigrade (body temperature,)
and submitting acid forming colonies to the usual tests for B.
Coli.
While Mr. Howe was here in October, special studies
were made under his direction, the results of which are contained in his reports to you.
In general the results of analyses are encouraging and do
not indicate any appreciable pollution of the river water.
The total bacteria are normally very low, showing marked
increase only after a sudden rise in the river, especially when
immediately following a heavy rainfall. There is no apparent
increase of B. Coli at these times. I have not found any
Coli in the river water since-Oct.ll.
The presence of sulphite waste from the pulp mills is not
detectable.
From U to 2 grains per gallon of aluminum sulphite are
used in the coagulation of the water before Alteration, the
alkalinity necessary to effect complete decomposition of the
alum being maintained by the addition of from i to \ grains
per gallon of lime. These amounts of coagulant have been
found by repeated trial to give the most satisfactory
results with the present method of operating the niters,
Tables are appended showing monthly averages of chemical and bacteriological tests, and the results of mineral analyses.

said hydrants to fill the reservoirs of said city.

In the Department of Fiction and Juvenile Works, 311

and soiled as to be unsuitable for further use.
152
[1908
The use of books in the Reading room has been absolutely
free since the Library was established; but it is only a few
years since it was wisely decided by the City Council that
the home use of books should also be entirely free to all citizens
of Bangor.
The greatly increased use of books which resulted from
this liberal and educational policy has naturally caused the
necessity of spending somewhat larger sums each year to
replace worn out books. The additional expense is not to
be regretted.
The Public Library is now generally recognized as an
essential part of the school system, and the increasing number of readers and consequent increased wear of the books
indicates that the people appreciate and enjoy the facilities
for reading and study which the Free Public Library affords.
The preparation of lists of books for purchase has been
as usual, under the care of Mrs. Mary H. Curran, the Librarian,
whose long continued and careful cataloguing work has made
her well acquainted with the deficiencies which need be supplied
in the various departments.

FINES AND LOSSES.
Three thousand and eighty notices have been sent for
overdue books, and fifty-four second notices. In a few
cases it has been necessary to send a messenger to ensure
158
[1908
the return of a book. Four books were destroyed by order of
the Board of Health on account of scarlet fever appearing in
the houses where the books were. Twelve books have been
lost or damaged and the price of them paid by the borrowers.
Eleven books were missing when the annual inventory was
made in April and have not since been found.
The income from fines was $295.44.
CHILDREN'S ROOM.
This room is still as popular as usual, as is shown by the
circulation, 18,416 books have been issued on children's cards
alone. This does not include the cards of pupils of the High
School or of older people. The largest monthly circulation
was in February when 2,620 books were issued; smallest
monthly circulation was September, 911 books. Largest
daily circulation was February 23, when 183 books were
issued on children's cards.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion I would call your attention to the new class
lists issued during the past year. History which is complete
to August 1, 1907, and Literature (except Fiction) complete
to December 14, 1907. The latter list includes Poetry, Drama
and Miscellaneous Literature. The class list of Travels was
partially prepared and the printing commenced early in
January.

personally at the Library or authorize some person, in writing,
to apply as their representative.
Library Cards are not transferable, and a Library Card
entitles the registered holder and members of the family of
the registered holder, in the same household, to home use of
books.
Books may be issued on any card to any applicant having
written authority from the registered holder of the card;
but books so issued are only for the home use of the registered
holder of the card.
Cards will not be issued until at least twenty-four hours
after application is made.
Each card shall entitle the holder to home use of one
volume at a time, under the Rules of the Library, until the
first day of January next ensuing after the date of the card.
Each person to whom a card is issued, shall sign a receipt
certifying the number and date of the card received, and the
recipient's name and address, and agreement to comply with
the Rules of the Library. Immediate notice of any change
of residence must be given at the Library. The registered
holder of a card is, in all cases, responsible for books taken
with it.
Residents of neighboring towns may be allowed home
use of books, on approval of the Library Committee, after
signing receipt as before provided and making payment of
three dollars for each Library Card issued before the first
day of July in any year, and one dollar and fifty cents for
each card issued on or after the first day of July.
Payment must be made when cards are delivered.
All cards issued in any year shall continue in force until
the first day of January next ensuing.
174
[1908
The Librarian shall have authority to require of any
applicant a satisfactory reference, or a deposit of money,
when necessary for the protection of the Library.
All cards issued shall be numbered in the order of their
issue, and the numbers shall be entered in order, in the
Record of Library Cards, and the name and address of the
holder and date of issue shall be noted opposite each number.
The Librarian shall have authority, on approval of the
Library Committee, to issue special cards for purposes of study,
which shall be numbered in the order of their issue and noted
in a record kept for that purpose. No book of fiction shall
ever be issued on a special card. The list of special cards
shall be transferred to the Record of Library Cards at the end
of each year. Rules which apply to issue and return of books
shall govern books issued on special cards.
Books taken from the Library must be returned or renewed within fourteen days. Periodicals must be returned
or renewed within three days. Books and periodicals must
be returned to the Library after one renewal. No book or
periodical returned to the Library shall be reissued the same
day. Persons returning books should always deliver them to
one of the attendants.
Any person who retains a volume longer than the regulations permit shall be fined two cents for each day of detention. When a book becomes overdue, not being returned
within fourteen days from and after the day on which it was
taken, a notice shall be sent to the holder, by mail, on the
day the book becomes overdue, requesting its return. If it
is not returned within seven days from and after the date of
the first notice, a second notice shall be sent, and if the book
is not returned within seven days from the date of the second
notice a messenger may be sent for it, the cost of sending
being charged to the holder of the book. If, however, a book
1908]
CITY OF
BANGOR
175
becomes due on Sunday, it may be returned without fine,
on the next day following.

who appears by the records to be accountable for a book
taken, of for a fine or forfeiture imposed.
Books shall not be issued to members of households in

All persons having books from the Library will be held
responsible for their injury or loss, and when injury or loss
to any book occurs, the registered holder of the card with
which the book was taken shall replace the book or pay the
amount determined by the Librarian.
If any holder of a Library Card neglects or violates the
rules of the Library, the Librarian shall have authority to
cancel the card for the remainder of the year for which it is
issued, and when a card is cancelled for this reason, the holder
of the card shall not be entitled to further use of the
Library until authorized by the Library Committee.
ARTICLE IV.
RECORD O F BOOKS ISSUED.
The date of issue and return of each volume taken with
a Library Card shall be stamped thereon, and a corresponding slip, containing the shelf number of the volume and
day and month of its issue and the name and address of its
borrower shall be preserved.
The slips for each day shall be placed in the numerical
order of the shelf numbers in a dated compartment of the
drawer used for their preservation. When a book is returned
the corresponding slip shall be taken from the drawer and
cancelled.
When all the spaces on a Library Card are stamped, a
new card shall be issued on the surrender of the old one, pro-

vided the time for which the card was issued has not expired
and the new card shall have the same number as the old one,
and the date of the new issue shall be entered in the Record
of Library Cards opposite the number of the original card.
When a card is lost, the Librarian may issue a new one
seven days after notice of the loss has been given at the Library,
but the loss of a card will not remove the owner's responsibility
for its subsequent use. If a lost card is recovered after a new
one has been issued in its stead, the duplicate must be immediately returned to the Library.
A record shall be kept of the number of books issued
daily from each class for the Reading Room and a similar
record of those issued for home use.
ARTICLE V
CLASSIFICATION AND NUMBERING.
The books belonging to the Library shall be arranged
and numbered in accordance with the system of classification
devised by Melvil Dewey and published by the Library
Bureau, the general classes bei:ng as follows:
0. General Works.
5. Natural Science.
1. Philosophy.
6. Useful Arts.
2. Religion.
7. Fine Arts.
3. Sociology.
8. Literature.
4. Philology.
9. History.
In numbering the books, the numbers of class, idivision,
section and sub-section shall be used, the intention being
to make the classification as complete as it can be made without deviating from the authorized system.
In assigning the numbers, the directions given by the
author system shall be closely followed.
A symbol, according to the Cutter system, indicating the
name of the author of the book, or the author of the first
1908]
CITY OF BANGOK
177
essay of a collected series shall follow the sub-section number except in the following instances. In numbering
biographies and town histories the symbol of the name of
the person or town shall be used instead of the symbol of
the author's name. In numbering the works of an 'author
whose name is unknown, the letter X shall be used as a substitute for the symbol until the author's name is disclosed.
When a sub-section is devoted entirely to one author, the
symbol shall be omitted and the books shall be arranged in
chronological order, and consecutive numbers, following the
sub-section number, shall be assigned to the works. When
several books by the same author, or biographies of the same
person, or histories of the same town, are grouped together,
they shall be arranged chronologically, and consecutive numbers, following the symbol shall be assigned to them. In
numbering periodicals the Cutter symbols shall be used for
the names of the periodicals.
Works of so general a character, as to make it desirable
to have them at the beginning of a section, may be numbered without the author's symbols.
Duplicates shall have the same shelf number,
Successive volumes of the same work shall have the
same shelf number, the number of each volume serving as a
distinguishing mark.
The shelf number and the accession number of each
volume shall be written on a suitable slip and pasted inside
the cover. The shelf number shall also be indicated on the
back of each book.
At least one copy of every book, of which the Library
has more than one copy, shall be appropriated to the Reading Room use and marked with the letter A over the shelf
number, and shall remain in the Library Room as a shelf copy
for the use of readers. All other books, which, in the
178
[1908
judgment of the Library Committee shall be appropriated
to Reading Room use, shall be marked with the letter A and
no book so marked, shall be issued for home use without the
consent of the Library Committee. Books marked with
the letter R shall not be issued for home or Reading Room
use without the consent of the Library Committee.
\RTICLE VI.
CATALOGUES.
The record ot Dooks added to the Library, and removed
from it, shall be preserved in suitable catalogues as hereinafter provided.
All books added to the Library shall be numbered in the
order in which they are received, and shall be so recorded in
the Accession Record. In addition to the accession number, the shelf number of each volume shall also be entered
therein. Opposite the numbers, the title of the book shall
be recorded, and the name of the author, if known, together
with notes of the size of the volume and the number of
pages, the names of publishers, and place and date of publication. The books being so entered in the Accession
Record, the last entry, at any time, will show the number of
volumes added to the Library since its commencement.
When any book is re-bound, worn out, lost, exchanged,
or sold, it shall be noted, with the date, in the Accession Record
opposite the number of the book.
Every pamphlet shall be recorded in the Record of
Pamphlets, the title and date of reception, and other items
of interest being noted. The number, opposite which the
pamphlet is recorded, shall also be noted on the cover of the
pamphlet as a guide to the entry in the record. When a
pamphlet is bound, the date of sending to the bindery and
the accession number of the bound volume shall be noted
1908]
CITY OF BANGOR
179
opposite the original entry. When a pamphlet is removed
from the Library, the date and cause of removal shall be
noted opposite the original entry.
There shall be a card catalogue for the use of the attendants in which authors, titles and subjects shall be included.
There shall also be a card catalogue, supplementary to the
printed catalogue, in which shall be included authors and
titles, which shall be open to the public.
Every book title shall appear in its proper place in the
card catalogue of titles, and shall be preceded by the shelf
number and followed by the author's name, with pseudonym,
if any, (in parenthesis,) or the abbreviation anon, in parenthesis, if the author's name is unknown and there is no
pseudonym.
In arranging titles in the catalogues, articles or other
unimportant words commencing the title, shall be ommitted
or transposed, each entry being made in such form as may
seem likely to be most easily found by readers.
Each author's name and each pseudonym shall appear in
the card catalogue of authors, each pseudonym being followed by the abbreviation pseud, in parenthesis, and reference to the author's name. Each author's name shall be
followed by the titles of the author's works in alphabetical
order, the shelf number preceding each title.
An outline of the contents of any work, or a few words
to indicate its character, may be given in subject, author, or
title lists when expedient.
There shall be a shelf catalogue in which the books
belonging to the Library shall be entered on cards and
arranged in order of the shelf numbers, with author's name,
title of each work, number of volumes, and accession numbers.
180
[1908
All books sent out for binding shall be recorded by accession number, shelf number and title in the Record of Binding,
and the date of sending and date of return shall be noted.
All books permanently removed from the Library shall
be entered in the Removal Record in the order of their removal, with statement of the accession number and title of
each volume, and date and cause of removal. The list of
books, so entered, shall be numbered in order, so that the
last entry made in the Removal Record shall show the number of volumes permanently removed from the Library.
ARTICLE VII.
SHELVING.
When the numbers have been placed upon the bookplates and the backs of the books, the books shall be shelved
in the cases assigned to the classes in the order of their numbers,
leaving sufficient spaces for additions
When, for sufficient reason, a book is not shelved in the
place indicated by the shelf-number, a numbered dummy
shall be put in the place of the book with a reference showing
where the book may be found.
New books shall be examined for faults of printing or
binding before they are numbered. All books returned by
readers, shall be examined before they are shelved. If pencil marks are found, they shall be erased, and if bindings
are loosened, they shall be repaired, and any damage, beyond
reasonable wear, shall be charged to the last holder of the
book.

REPORT OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR'
[1908
Report of the Building Inspector
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of Bangor:
I herewith submit the annual report of the Building Inspector of Bangor for the year ending February 29, 1908:
It is safe to say that the building operations for the past
fiscal year have been far beyond any in the history of our
city. It is estimated that nearly $800,000. has been spent
for the work done.
More than half the work on the Sterns' building, the
Tarratine clubhouse and the Merrill Trust Company's buildings which were started last year, was done to complete these
structures this year. A large amount of work was done at
the Maine Central Station, including the building of the steel
train shed, the baggage, mail, express and boiler building,
and a large concrete retaining wall on the Washington street

[1908
At station 1 a new boiler was put in, the paving relaid

at the rear end of the building.
The platform in front of station 2 was relaid and other
minor improvements made.
At station 3 the entire roof was gravelled and newly
flashed and concrete was put down in place of the brick sidewalk in front of the building.
Station 4 had a hall fitted up for the men and a large
shed was built to store fire apparatus in; also a manure pen
was constructed in the rear of the building.
Much work was done in the second story of staiton 5
and the concrete was relaid in front of the house.
Station 6 had a new boiler this year and a hardwood floor
was laid in the room where the apparatus is kept.
At the City Stables the large building was painted during
the summer, a new floor was laid and the stalls whitewashed
and painted. A new drain was laid from the building to Kenduskeag Stream and other improvements made.
At the Electric Light Station the foundation of the wooden
part of the building was partly repainted and the new shed
built last year was painted.
Much work was done at the pest house during the summer
and it is now in good condition.

REPORT OF T H E PARK COMMISSIONERS
[1908
Report of Park Commissioners
To His Honor the Mayor, and City Council:
The Board of Park Commissioners herewith submit their
Annual Report for the year ending March 1, 1908.
The amount appropriated by the City Council for this
department for the Municipal Year of Nineteen Hundred
Seven was $4,500.00 and has been expended as follows: —
Chapin Park
Broadway Park
Summit park
Davenport park
Center park
Union park
Whitney park
Broadway Mall
Bowdoin
Hammond Street
Seavey
State street (Library Lot)
West Broadway
Forestry

$5,051 00
which indicates an amount overdrawn of $551.00. This
amount, however, will be reduced by $250.00 due the Department from the Bangor Railway and Electric Company and
the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company, making
the net amount overdrawn $301.00. Last year, however,
1908]
CITY OF BANGOR
191
the Department had an unexpended balance of $760.71 which
shows for the two years an unexpended balance of $460.71.
The bills above mentioned were occasioned by the removal
and readjustment of wires on the trees on State, Union, Ohio
and Hammond Streets. This work was performed under
the efficient direction of Mr. John Appleton and resulted in
so improved a condition of the wire connections with the trees
as to meet with a most genuine approval. There is, however,
much more to be done in this direction and it is hoped that
the work may be continued the coming year.
The usual care of the Parks has been exercised during
the past year and every endeavor used on the part of the
Commissioners to bring about good results. Some ninety
trees of different varieties have been planted on the parks,
Broadway receiving by far the largest number. For heavy
work our attention was given to Summit Park where much
was done in the way of executing the plan made for this Park
by P. H. Coombs, City Engineer. A marked change has already been wrought by the grading where necessary and the
laying out of the walks. This Park when completed will
prove to be one of the most attractive spots in our beautiful
city.
We have this suggestion to. make in connection with this
Park in order that the most satisfactory results may be obtained
that is the purchase of the dwelling house and lot at the corner of Ohio Street and what was formerly known as Highland
Street. With the house removed and the lot taken into
this Park it would make the general appearance much more
effective.
Our city is gradually moving in the right direction in the
line of park development, and already is feeling the benefit arising from such action. What has been done has been on a comparatively small scale, yet it is a beginning which we trust
may lead to greater things. It is possible that Bangor may
192
REPORT OF T H E PARK COMMISSIONERS
[1908
so continue to improve her park system and to enlarge it as
to cause her to be so attractive as to draw in large and ever
increasing members, those seeking a goodly city wherein to
dwell and to do business.
With the newly acquired lot for the Public Library may
it not be possible that our suggestion in a previous report be
carried out, and so much of the land located in the rear of the
building as may not be required for it, be set apart for a modern
up to date playground for the children? Let us strive to
make Bangor a progressive city through every channel that
may lead to the betterment of her citizens.
