As a rule it includes: (1) only publications issued during the past year; (2) only such books, pamphlets and reports as seem likely to be of immediate interest to officials and employees of the City government; and (3) only such regular administrative reports of American states and cities as have features of special interest on municipal affairs. It may be assumed in general that the Library has received the latest published annual reports of the larger cities of the country. Of the official publications of New York City only a few of more than ordinary interest are listed here. A "Monthly List of New York City Publications" appears in the Notes, usually in the second issue of the month. Information necessary to obtain any publication in this list will gladly be furnished on application. United States. Bureau of Education. Public facilities for educating the alien. Prepared in the Division of Immigrant Education, by Frederic Ernest Farrington. 1916. 51 p. tables. (Bull. 1916, no. 18.) 326.1 Un3p HEATING AND VENTILATING Johnson, E. B.

Classrooms are heated by direct vacuum radiators and temperature is automatically regulated by the thermostats controlling pneumatic valves. p. 244-246. 3. Humidified and heated air with temperature automatically controlled is delivered to rooms for ventilation by means of engine-driven blowers. p. 310-312. 4. Auditorium is heated and ventilated locally by a mechanical warm air system, provision being made for return air heating. 400-403. INSTITUTIONS p. Gulick, L. H. The need of play in institutions. (Playground, May, 1916. p. 65-70.) O'Grady, John. State supervision of Catholic institutions. 1916. 20 p. VF Reprinted from the Ecclesiastical Review, July, 1916. "The power of the public authorities ought to be limited to the securing of these minimum standards of institutional care. There is no good reason why they should have unlimited powers of prying into the details of institutional work. If, however, they are kindly and sympathetic, they may do a great deal toward improving institutional standards. Those in charge of private institutions are, as a general rule, willing to listen to reason and may be prevailed upon to make desirable improvements, if the representatives of the public are tactful in their dealings with them. It is because of their lack of tact and sympathy that the work of so many supervisors of institutions has proved a dismal failure." PILING Springer, J. F. Steel sheet piles. Several types of patterns used in this country for trench and other excavation work-special rolled sections -sheet steel fabricated piles - dimensions, weights and special_advantages of each. (Municipal Journal, Sept. 21, 1916. p. 347-350. illus.) Steel sheet piling: driving piles by hand, gravity hammer and steam hammer - water jet driving-driving caps-pulling piles-bracing. (Municipal Journal, Sept. 28, 1916. p. 378381. illus.) "The construction of the aqueduct that brings the waters of Owens River across 250 miles of desolate and rugged country to the City of Los Angeles set a new standard of public service for American municipalities. No other public work at all comparable in magnitude to the aqueduct has been accomplished within the limits of cost and time fixed by the engineers in their first estimates. It is not an exaggeration to say that the builders of the aqueduct established a world's record of efficiency and economy. They promised that the work should be done in five years, and water delivered at the San Fernando reservoir at a cost of $23,000,000. They began work in 1908, and they brought the water to San Fernando in 1913 at a cost within the original estimate." Contents: Introductory historical sketch. Available water supply of city in 1905.
